About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.

Code for America believes government can work for the people, by the people, in the 21st century. We build open source technology and organize a network of people dedicated to making government services simple, effective, and easy to use.
Our employees build and transform government services, making them so good they inspire change. We merge the best parts of technology, non-profit, and government to help support the people who need it most. With a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and deep empathy for both government and the people the government serves, we’re building a movement of motivated change agents driven by meaningful results and lasting impact. At Code for America you will contribute to meaningful work while learning and developing in a supportive and flexible environment. Our compensation and benefits are holistic and thoughtfully curated to represent our employees and our mission. Come help us drive real generational change that lasts.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our Clear My Record team.
Clear My Record is an initiative of Code for America’s Criminal Justice portfolio. The Criminal Justice portfolio works to transform the way government delivers services to those most impacted by the criminal justice system. Our goal is to help government implement policies that decriminalize, decarcerate, and reinvest in communities by removing barriers to employment, housing, health and education.
The vision for Clear My Record is to help government automatically clear all eligible criminal records so people can pass routine background checks to access jobs, housing, and educational opportunities from which they are typically excluded. We work at the intersection of technology, design, and policy and are working to expand, streamline, and automate the criminal record clearance process to clear all eligible criminal records in the U.S. Clear My Record is national in scope and the Senior Product Manager will play a critical role in our effort to expand our work to states across the country, representing Code for America in a variety of government, partnership, foundation and policy domains.
We're seeking to hire a Senior Product Manager to join our team full time to help us think about how we can best use technology and product solutions to advance the vision of the program. You’ll also work closely with members of our multidisciplinary team across engineering, design, research, program, and data science to ensure the team collaborates well and is aligned on a shared understanding of the role that Clear My Record can play in helping them implement laws that expand, streamline, and automate the record clearance process.
We strongly encourage individuals impacted by the criminal justice system (individuals with criminal records, family members of individuals with criminal records, etc.) to apply. This role may be remote or based in San Francisco, and reports to the Director of Product.
You’re an ideal candidate if:
You have an equity-centered approach to product development focused on minimizing harm, engaging with people impacted, and checking personal biases and assumptions.
You're flexible and adaptable to change: knowing when to move or change direction and remain a clear and effective decision-maker for their team.
You’re passionate about using your skills to push for systemic change and advocate for people who rely on government services.
You're an expert at understanding multiple perspectives (people, partners, leadership and funders) and seeing the bigger picture.
You have experience in the justice system, receiving SNAP (food stamps), or being enrolled in other social safety net programs (welfare, WIC, TANF, or food banks).
Responsibilities:
Define, explain and iterate a product vision that is compelling to the team, stakeholders, and the people using government services
Work in partnership with the program team to align the product vision with the program and the organization's larger objectives, vision and goals
Create a clear and compelling strategy for the product that the team can align around: define product metrics, create roadmaps, and scope/prioritize experiments and features that have a positive effect on people and communities.
Negotiate with and influence external partners, stakeholders and customers successfully - communicating context, strategy and decisions clearly and effectively.
Lead a multidisciplinary team to deliver several early stage products and iteratively improve them through several delivery cycles
Manage new feature development, from working with designers on flows to translating designs into user stories to overseeing quality assurance.
Lead processes and ensure the team stays on task and happily working towards product goals.
Create and encourage a culture of initiative, flexibility and responsiveness, mobilizing the team to respond swiftly to changing priorities.
Champion a culture of continuous learning and improvement and knowledge sharing inside the team and across the organization.
Understand the use of technology and be able to find opportunities where technology can not just improve but radically transform the delivery of public services.
Requirements:
At least 5 years of product development experience with increasing responsibility.
Experience leading more than one large scale product or service through to successful delivery.
Proven ability to lead high quality product development using an agile methodology - iteratively improving products through delivery cycles.
Proven ability to interpret and leverage research, usability testing, and data analytics to make and validate product decisions.
Strong product judgement - knowing when to prototype and when to code, when to experiment and when to change direction.
A passion for our mission of making government services better for people who need them
