Product Manager

Product Manager

Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Product Manager to join our team! We're a small, fast-moving nonprofit that builds tools that impact criminal justice decision making and outcomes. That's where you come in. We're looking for a creative, high-agency product leader who can help shape our roadmap, rally cross-functional teams, and bring impactful ideas to life with scrappy execution and strategic insight.

Product Managers at Recidiviz own big, complex, mission-critical problem spaces and turn them into high-impact, highly-loved software. You'll work with engineers, designers, and justice system leaders to identify opportunities, ship products, and iterate fast. Travel is part of the role and planned collaboratively but the role is remote-flexible with offices in NYC and Oakland for those who prefer hybrid.

Please note : We expect this role will require 10-25% of time spent traveling domestically across the US, about 1-3 trips per quarter. We expect these trips to include visits to prisons and parole offices.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead strategy and execution for one or more of our state partner portfolios from vision to wireframe to deployment and iteration
• Translate ambiguous real-world needs into smart, user-centric product decisions in collaboration with state partners, engineers, and designers
• Drive product discovery with grit and creativity conducting interviews, mapping workflows, and testing hypotheses in scrappy ways
• Define metrics, track outcomes, and communicate impact across internal and external audiences
• Foster a strong product culture grounded in clarity, curiosity, and urgency
• Roll up your sleeves to help with whatever it takes we're a small team, and we all pitch in

More About Recidiviz

Recidiviz was an all-volunteer effort until early 2019, when Clementine, Andrew, and Joshua founded the organization. Since then, we've built an A-team of software engineers, designers, product managers and domain experts, from companies like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Opower, and Sidewalk Labs. Recidiviz was part of Y-Combinator's 2019 class and has received support from some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations, including Ford Foundation, Mackenzie Scott, Schmidt Futures, Arnold Ventures, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation.

Today, Recidiviz works with (and earns revenue from) over 18 state partners big and small, red and blue and covers more than 40% of the US incarcerated population. We have helped to get tens of thousands of people out of the criminal justice system, safely and equitably, and saved states nearly $1 billion. In the next five years, Recidiviz plans to partner with 40 states and help 250,000 people who are stuck in the system to get out and stay out. In addition to partnering with state Departments of Corrections, Recidiviz collaborates with and learns from partners from organizations like the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) to community based organizations and justice-impacted individuals, whose perspectives guide our work.
