Job Summary:

We’re looking for an experienced and impact-driven Data Product Manager to lead the development of data-powered features that are foundational to our platform’s scale and success. You’ll play a critical role in shaping our product’s future—owning the strategy for how we collect, organize, and deliver political intelligence at scale. Experience working with generative AI and a strong data product mindset are essential. Familiarity with the political or government space is a major plus.

This role is ideal for someone excited by the challenge of scaling structured and unstructured data products across all 50 states, ensuring consistency, usability, and speed for our users.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Data Product Strategy: Define and execute the roadmap for data-driven features, focusing on political, legislative, and regulatory content. Champion data integrity, usability, and innovation.
  • Scalability Across States: Design systems and frameworks to support multi-state expansion, balancing local nuances with a unified product experience.
  • AI & Automation Integration: Identify opportunities to apply generative AI and machine learning to improve data extraction, classification, summarization, and recommendations.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with engineering, data science, design, and content teams to deliver high-quality, reliable, and scalable data pipelines and user-facing features.
  • User-Centered Insights: Translate user workflows and pain points into structured data solutions that simplify complexity and drive engagement.
  • Analytics & Feedback Loops: Use product analytics, user research, and performance metrics to inform priorities and evaluate product impact.
  • Market and Domain Awareness: Stay current on political tech trends, state-specific regulations, and competitor offerings to continuously inform product decisions.

Qualifications:

  • Proven track record of building and scaling data products from 0→1, ideally in a startup or fast-paced environment.
  • Experience working with generative AI or ML-based systems, particularly in summarization, entity recognition, or data labeling tasks.
  • Strong understanding of data architecture, pipelines, and taxonomies—comfortable working with both structured and unstructured data.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Analytical mindset with proficiency in tools like SQL, Looker, or similar BI platforms.
  • Familiarity with political data, legislative tracking, or policy workflows is a strong plus.
  • Passionate about building products that support democracy, public policy, and transparency.

Why Join Us:

  • Be part of a mission-driven company shaping how people interact with the state government.
  • Work with a talented, passionate, and collaborative team.
  • Enjoy opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
