Director of Product Management, Government

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your Impact

You will join a small mission-driven digital services agency to guide and mentor a team of product managers across a diverse assortment of mission-focused government projects. Your expertise will be instrumental in shaping product strategies, modernizing how the government delivers digital services, and ultimately improving government services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. As a part of our small but expanding team, this role is a key early hire with the opportunity to significantly shape the future of our product management practice. Your contributions will not only grow our capabilities but also ensure that our government programs continue to meet the complex needs of the communities we serve.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We emphasize positive work-life balance, healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!

This position is 100% remote. Our entire team is remote across the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. There will never be a return-to-office, as we have none!

The estimated salary for this position is $150,000 - $170,000.

• Build and develop a product management team that delivers high-quality outcomes for our government partners
