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.
