Staff Product Manager

Staff Product Manager

GoodParty,org is looking for a growth and user obsessed Staff Product Manager to join us in our mission of making people matter more than money in our democracy.

About GoodParty.org:

GoodParty.org is on a mission to make people matter more than money in our democracy by empowering Independent candidates to run, win, and serve. Our AI-powered platform provides free tools to Independent candidates to run their campaigns, connect with voters, and serve their communities effectively.

A majority of eligible voters, including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans nor Democrats represent them. GoodParty.org is the solution. In 2024 we empowered 3,444 Independent candidate wins across 48 states from all across the ideological spectrum. The main things the elected officials we empower have in common is that they prioritize people over parties and community over corporate interests. In 2024, 40.3 million votes (26% of all voters) cast a ballot for our candidate users. We’re not a political party; we’re a platform and a movement to democratize democracy.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Farhad Mohit ($1B+ in exits, including Flipagram/TikTok and Shopzilla), GoodParty.org is building solutions so we can have a truly representative democracy where society’s biggest problems are solved.

What you’ll do:

• Drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap in collaboration with the product team and politics team stakeholders.

• Turn ideas into scalable product solutions that empower independents to explore a run for office, run winning campaigns, and serve in office.

• Leverage your passion for users to organize user research and testing across our politically diverse user base in collaboration with the design team.

• Productize emerging AI tools to improve our products and features and scale yourself.

• Create cohesive funnels that drive user adoption, growth, and unlock a viable path for independent candidates.

• Apply quantitative and qualitative methods to validate ideas, learn from user interactions or feedback, and improve metrics on existing products.

Who we’re looking for:

• You’re up for the audacious challenge of transforming our democracy by making running as an independent a viable path to getting elected into service. You’re very curious about this problem space or are already passionate about it.

• You’re a proven A-player with an 8+ year track record of building tech products, with increasing responsibility and success. Title will be commensurate with experience.

• You’ve either built something from scratch or were very early on a product that went from 0 or 0.5 to 1 (and beyond). You’re quick to pivot when the need arises or a better path emerges.

• You get obsessed with your user. You research them and proactively try to make them as successful as possible by improving the product.

• You’re analytical with a metrics mindset, plus you’ve got the data, optimization, and problem-solving skills to ensure products meet their potential.

• You’re actively using emerging AI tools and understand the basics of prompt engineering both to scale yourself and improve products and features.

• You have a baseline understanding of how the American political system works.

• You’re able to work independently and also enjoy collaborating with others to iteratively solve problems in real-time. You thrive working at the startup speed that our mission demands.

• You pursue understanding user perspectives and behavior with curiosity and empathy.

• You communicate directly, honestly, and are open to candid feedback.

Bonus if:

• You have experience working in small, tight-knit, fast-paced remote teams.

• You’ve worked in civic tech, political campaigns, or democracy-focused initiatives and understand the unique challenges of this space.

• You’re sick of sitting on the sidelines watching our democracy fail to meet its potential.

Why you should work at GoodParty.org:

• Join us in solving the biggest problem of our time – fixing our democracy – so all other problems can be solved

• We’re a Public Benefit Corporation that prioritizes social impact over profit

• Innovative Bitcoin denominated deferred bonus plan, allowing you to have the amazing upside of being in a startup while working on a truly meaningful mission

• Work where and how you like, on a fully remote team spread across the country

• Join a passionate team with diverse political views focused on one mission

• 100% coverage of health, dental, and vision benefits for you and your dependents

• We encourage you to take time off to recharge and have an unlimited PTO (sick and vacation) policy. This is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe a work-life balance is needed to get there.

• 401(k) program available so you can contribute toward retirement savings (no employer match)

• Individual learning & development budget to fund your growth

• We’ll make sure you’ve got what you need to work remotely through our workspace setup stipend

• If you work from home, we give $50/month to help with your internet and other expenses. If you prefer co-working, that’s an option we can discuss too.

• Fully funded for our mission. No stressing over whether the next round of funding will come through. Focus on making an impact. That’s what matters here.

The salary range is $130 - $230K for this remote, full-time position with excellent benefits. This range reflects the range of possible compensation for this role at the time of this posting. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, skills, seniority, education, qualifications, certifications, and organizational needs.
