Product Development Director

The Opportunity : As the Director of Product Development, you will spearhead operational excellence and innovation in our product development arm, with an initial focus on proprietary cybersecurity solutions and expansion into a broader portfolio spanning Booz Allen's strategic business lines.

This role is pivotal in establishing repeatable processes for productization, ensuring technical excellence, scalability, and market relevance across all phases. From proof-of-concept and viability pilots to fully scalable, profitable products. By providing hands-on oversight and fostering a high-performance culture, the Director will complement the SVP's vision, driving Booz Allen's transformation into a market leader in mission-focused, outcome-based products without duplicating leadership responsibilities. Due to the nature of work performed within this facility, U.S. citizenship is required.

What You'll Work On :

• Act as the primary operational leader for the product development organization, overseeing day-to-day team structure, processes, technical quality, and functional delivery to develop, market, and deliver industry-leading products.
• Manage and mentor high-performing, cross-functional teams of engineers, product architects, and designers, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement while ensuring alignment with Booz Allen's broader product strategy.
• Drive the establishment of long-term processes, best practices, and playbooks for product development phases, making productization repeatable, predictable, and efficient to support rapid portfolio growth.
• Provide technical thought leadership in architecting and implementing advanced solutions, leveraging cloud, AI, agentic design, and Booz Allen's deep cybersecurity expertise to create novel, differentiated products.
• Collaborate closely with sub-organizations, including Product Management (PM), Technical Product Management (TPM), Go-to-Market (GTM), Pricing, and Strategy and Ops to translate client needs into actionable features and deliver high-impact, commercially viable products.
• Partner with teams outside the product vertical to enable IP-driven service delivery, ensuring seamless integration between products and Booz Allen's services for holistic, differentiated offerings.
• Establish and enforce best practices for secure software development, agile methodologies, and DevSecOps, while monitoring engineering metrics to optimize performance and mitigate risks.
• Engage with clients, stakeholders, and technology partners to address evolving cybersecurity challenges, regulatory requirements, and mission needs, providing senior-level input to refine product roadmaps.
