Summary:
Goldschmitt & Associates is seeking a Product Management Consultant to provide the hands-on planning, coordination, backlog, requirements, stakeholder, and delivery-management support needed to institutionalize product-management practices across Federal Student Aid.

- Identify blockers and escalate issues requiring Product SME, Executive Product SME, or Executive Program Manager intervention
- Help establish repeatable templates, processes, playbooks, and working practices that FSA personnel can sustain independently
- Support workshops, training, office hours, and hands-on mentorship activities
Necessary Skills and Knowledge:
- Experience supporting complex IT or digital-service initiatives
- Demonstrated experience with planning, requirements, backlog management, risk/issue tracking, stakeholder coordination, and status reporting
