Senior Product Manager (Remote, select US states)
We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager to lead a team in developing solutions for our federal clients.
This is a remote-first position (Eastern Time Zone strongly preferred). The ideal candidate will have at least seven (7) years of experience in digital product management in a cross-functional, agile environment. To be successful, this person must have a deep understanding of the consulting mindset, user-centered prioritization, and the ability to build trust with a wide variety of stakeholders in a complex organization. The role requires a candidate who has excellent communication, leadership, and technical product skills. This is a customer-facing role, working to translate the needs of users and the business into digital product features.
Coforma Product Managers are both leaders and individual contributors. As leaders, they are team champions, decision-makers, and coaches. They are the primary point of contact for business stakeholders and are responsible for driving a shared vision both within the team and across partners. As an individual contributor, Coforma Product Managers are responsible for analyzing, defining, documenting, prioritizing, testing, and iterating on functional requirements. They collaborate with partners in research, design, engineering, project management, and account management to deliver iterative value to both the user and the business.
Being a Product Manager in the public sector is both challenging and rewarding. Success in this field is measured by the product's impact on the public good rather than profitability. Product Managers must balance the technical aspects of development with stakeholder engagement and assess the impact on public service delivery. Their role is essential in bridging the gap between policy and technology to create digital services that truly benefit citizens. Understanding stakeholder perspectives and working with government Product Owners to drive service adoption is crucial.
If you’re passionate about improving lives through digital products and services, then Coforma is a great company for you.
