The Role

Agile Six is looking for a Technical Product and Delivery Manager to join our agile team supporting the SimplerGrants modernization effort and the CommonGrants data standard. This role blends product ownership with delivery leadership: managing the roadmap and backlog for CommonGrants and SimplerGrants reporting/automation, translating program goals into clear priorities, and driving execution through strong sprint planning and agile cadence.

You’ll coordinate across HHS and multiple vendors, manage internal and external stakeholder relationships (including prospective adopters and open-source contributors), and keep progress, risks, dependencies, and program health visible and on track. We’re looking for someone collaborative, organized, and technically fluent — able to navigate a complex ecosystem, make pragmatic tradeoffs, and advance sustainable, accessible outcomes that support adoption of the CommonGrants standard.

The work we do is largely open source and publicly available on GitHub. You can explore the CommonGrants repository and CommonGrants.org to learn more.

Responsibilities

• Product Roadmap & Backlog: Own the product vision and roadmap for CommonGrants and SimplerGrants reporting/automation, translating program goals into a prioritized backlog of well-scoped epics and user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
• Sprint Planning & Ceremonies: Lead sprint planning and facilitate core agile ceremonies (standups, refinement, reviews/demos, retros), driving healthy team flow and continuous improvement.
• Cross-Program Facilitation: Plan and facilitate cross-program meetings and in-person events with HHS and multiple vendors/workstreams to align goals, dependencies, timelines, and decisions for Grants.gov modernization.
• Stakeholder Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders (HHS, SimplerGrants vendors, partner programs) and external stakeholders (CommonGrants adopters, open-source contributors), ensuring feedback informs product direction.
• Delivery Tracking & Program Reporting: Track delivery against roadmap and sprint goals, monitor program health signals, and provide clear progress updates, risks, and tradeoffs to support governance and expectation-setting.
• Risk & Dependency Management: Surface blockers, risks, and cross-team dependencies early; drive mitigation plans and decision points with engineers, program leads, and partners.
• Budget & Contract Support: Track budget and burn to support timely invoicing and responsible use of contract funds; coordinate forecasts and resourcing needs with program leadership.
• Quality, Accessibility & Sustainability: Ensure product outcomes and delivery practices reflect Agile Six values, accessibility commitments, and the long-term sustainability of the CommonGrants standard.
