Job Description

We are seeking a Product Management leader to oversee and grow the Product Management team within RTX’s Enterprise Data Services unit (‘the EDX’). In addition to serving as the day-to-day Director of the discipline, this leader will also drive the roadmap and business outcomes for Xeta, RTX’s suite of enterprise productivity tools. Xeta comprises three tools that deliver critical capabilities to RTX’s teams. XetaAnalytics is RTX’s enterprise data platform, which provides data practitioners (business analysts, data scientists) easy access to data management and analysis capabilities while also accelerating time-to-insight for RTX’s decision makers. XetaDev is RTX’s DevSecOps offering, providing software development teams with the tools they need to release high-quality code faster. Xeta Cloud is RTX’s enterprise cloud offering; moving to the cloud is a major component of RTX’s Digital Transformation strategy. While this role will primarily focus on product management oversight for XetaAnalytics, this leader will also lead the effort to harmonize the user experience across all three components of the Xeta portfolio. The role will require deep and effective collaboration with leaders from the EDX’s other disciplines: Design, Program Management, Software Engineering, and Applied Data. Raytheon Technologies is in the midst of a multi-year digital and data transformation. In addition to responsibilities at the EDX, this role will entail engagement with executive stakeholders and leaders from across our business units. As the Director of Product Management, you will evangelize a ‘product mindset’ across the enterprise, helping business leaders appreciate the business value of contemporary product development frameworks centered on continuous product optimization. Reporting to the VP of Data, Strategy & Products, the successful candidate will have strong communication skills, a passion for mentoring and growing a team, and the ability to navigate the complexities of a large, Fortune 50 global enterprise. Job Responsibilities: Ensure that the XetaAnalytics platform and other EDX products deliver business outcomes that align with Raytheon Technologies’ overall business strategy. Work across EDX teams and stakeholders to continuously evolve the vision for XetaAnalytics to strengthen stakeholder support and buy-in. Lead the harmonization of the user experience across the Xeta Portolio (XetaAnalytics, XetaDev, XetaCloud). Drive collaboration across the EDX disciplines to achieve alignment on the XetaAnalytics vision and roadmap. Lead the definition and execution of the go-to-market strategy for XetaAnalytics with the intent of driving adoption and accelerating business outcomes. Oversee the EDX’s Product Management team, providing mentoring to all members and helping them chart a course for their own professional development. Establish best practices and set standards for all product management deliverables including product visions, product roadmaps, backlog prioritization, measurement strategies, go-to-market strategies, and ROI projections and analysis. Basic Qualifications: 15+ years of experience in software product development. An established leader with a proven track record of leading teams and influencing executive decision makers. Significant experience with modern data platforms: setting the platform vision and scaling up to achieve the desired business value. Given that XetaAnalytics incorporates several COTS tools, deep familiarity with applications such as Databricks, Snowflake, Kobai, Jupyter, is required. Expertise in practices related to understanding customer needs and market opportunity including user interviews, observational research, surveys, prototype testing, A/B testing, and opportunity sizing. Expertise in Agile software delivery practices and expectations. Proven ability to translate market and user needs into product strategies that deliver target business outcomes. Expert working knowledge of financial analysis methodologies, including NPV, IRR, ROI and cash flow.
