Agile Six is a people-first, remote-work company that serves shoulder-to-shoulder with federal agencies to find innovative, human-centered solutions. We build better by putting people first. We are animated by our core values of Purpose, Wholeness, Trust, Self-Management and Inclusion. We deliver our solutions in autonomous teams of self-managed professionals (no managers here!) who genuinely care about each other and the work. We know that’s our company’s purpose – and that we can only achieve it by supporting a culture where people feel valued, self-managed, and love to come to work.

The Role:

Agile Six is looking for a Senior Product Manager to join a newly formed team partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs to enhance the digital tools Veterans use to manage their benefits, including the Claim Status Tool, decision review forms, and related services on VA.gov and the VA Health and Benefits mobile app. Efforts will include improving clarity of evidence requests, expanding claim status visibility, modernizing back-end systems, and increasing accessibility and usability—especially for decision notification and appeal processes—to better support Veterans and claimants through critical moments in their benefits journey.

At Agile Six, we are deliberate about the culture we're building. We look for Product Managers who embrace empowerment and a growth mindset. If you care deeply not just about your own aptitude, but about supporting others’ growth, we’d love to hear from you. As an organization we embrace self-organizing teams. To that end, we need Product Managers who are both tactical and strategic. Most importantly, we look for folks who are passionate about solving problems that impact millions of users. We are here to make a difference in government, and Product Managers are the primary champions of our cause!

Please note that this is a Key Personnel role, as stipulated by our contract, considered "essential to work performance". The resumes of Key Personnel are subject to government review and approval, and any changes to Key Personnel (such as voluntary or involuntary separation) may require government oversight.
