Product Manager II
Overview
At Social Solutions, our Product Managers combine a passion for discovery efforts, a desire to constantly engage with clients, leadership skills to drive change for our clients, quantitative skills to measure impact, and presentation skills to evangelize their visions. We progress beyond a myopic focus on "what to do today" towards "what we need to build for tomorrow." The impact of our work empowers non-profit and public-sector organizations whose goals are to help those who need it most, and our products must live up to those lofty ideals every day.
This Product Manager role will be responsible for developing ground-level capabilities in our Social Good Platform on which the organizations build their service delivery models. Our community-based organization clients must be able to quickly and effectively construct the best version of our platform that fits their organization's needs, which includes integrating into internal and external systems to connect their impact data and extend critical features to ensure their team is setup to succeed. Understanding our CBO clients' delivery models, tools, and processes in order to determine how our software can empower those processes will be critical to our success, and you will be leading the charge.
