We know companies that embrace diversity in all its forms not only deliver stronger business results, but also become a force for good, fueling stronger business performance and greater opportunity for employees, partners, investors, and communities to succeed.

XETA comprises tools that deliver critical capabilities to RTX’s teams.

• XETA|Analytics 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.
• XETA|Dev is RTX’s DevSecOps offering, providing software development teams with the tools they need to release high-quality code faster.

As the Director of Product Management & Product Design, you will champion a ‘product mindset’, helping senior RTX leaders appreciate the business value of continuous product optimization and excellent user experiences.

Reporting to the VP of Data, Strategy & Products, the successful candidate will have seasoned, hands-on product management experience developing and growing an enterprise scale platform, proven strategic leadership, strong communication and collaboration skills, a passion for mentoring and growing teams, and the ability to navigate the complexities of a large, Fortune 50 global enterprise.
