Your Mission

• Ensure clear acceptance criteria, timelines, and delivery standards are met.
• Coordinate cross-functionally across technical, business, and operational teams.
• Advocate for product thinking and bring best practices to how we design and deliver our solutions.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Viewing complex B2B and public-sector projects as interconnected product journeys.
• Managing multiple lifecycles across distinct products, all while ensuring quality, scalability, and usability.

• Strong communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical teams.
• Proven experience in IT planning, requirement gathering, and translating user needs into actionable product features.
• Experience in user-centric product design, preferably within regulated or public domains.
• Comfortable with agile frameworks — Scrum, Kanban, or similar. (Certifications like PMP or Scrum Master are a plus.)

Why Join?

• Remote-first culture with flexible hours and distributed teams.
• Clear mission: deliver scalable digital solutions to help public institutions modernize how they work.
• Real impact: shape the future of how governments and schools interact with technology.
• Regular team-building events and opportunities to meet in person each quarter.
