Our award-winning and modern, open concept offices are located in Washington, DC, Chicago, IL and New York, NY. All three offices are accessible by public transportation and in close proximity to great restaurants and shopping.

The Role

We're looking for a Product Manager to join our highly collaborative, driven, and creative Product & Engineering team. It’s never been a more exciting time to work at a data company building products on mountains of proprietary data. For the last few years, we’ve been continuously innovating on how we leverage AI to meet the next level of customer need, with creativity and speed.

What You'll Be Working On

Execution (the core of this role)

• Own a clean, prioritized backlog with clear user stories, requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope decisions. Following up until requirements actually land
• Partner with engineering on solution design and scope, pushing for iterative releases that get value out the door without waiting for perfect
• Set the team up for productive planning and refinement by coming prepared, not catching up in the room
• Track the metrics that tell you whether something's actually working, and use them to inform what's next
• Proactively surface risks, blockers, and things that aren't connecting — before they turn into fire drills

Strategy (collaborative, growing over time)

• Work with Engineering leads and your Senior PM partner to help shape and prioritize problem statements
• Build enough domain fluency — through relentless, good-natured question-asking — to understand not just what you're building, but why it matters and what it unlocks downstream
• Communicate clearly to a range of audiences: writing help docs and release notes, and keeping stakeholders honestly informed on status
• As you grow in the role, take on more direct stakeholder and client conversations — asking the right discovery questions rather than just relaying what Engineering tells you

About You

• Roughly 3-5 years of relevant experience — this can be product management, or another background (engineering, operations, client success, program management) that's built the same muscles
• Proactive, low-ego, and collaborative — you care more about the team's outcomes than individual credit, and you'd rather ask "want me to jump in on this?" than wait to be assigned
• A strong, clear communicator who shares status and priorities without being asked, and who's comfortable saying "here's where this actually stands"
• Comfortable moving fast and showing work early, even when it's not fully polished — you'd rather check in on direction than burn a week perfecting something that might be off-track
• Curious enough to dig into a technical domain you haven't worked in before and keep asking questions until you genuinely understand it
• A relationship-builder — engineers trust you, and people don't worry about what's happening on your team
• Experience with APIs or technical/data products is a plus, but not required
• It is not required that you meet each of the above to qualify for consideration. A combination of experience and demonstrated ability may qualify you for the role.

Note: We view the above section as a guide, not a checklist. Research shows that underrepresented/marginalized groups are less likely to apply for a job if they feel that they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. We welcome diverse and non-traditional backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t satisfy every single bullet on this list! It’s expected that you’ll learn and grow throughout your time at Morning Consult, so if you’re open to building new skills, we’d love to hear from you.

The expected salary range for this position is $107,500 – $174,900, with a midpoint of $141,200.

In most cases, we target the midpoint of our salary ranges for new hire compensation. This placement is reflective of full proficiency in a role. This role is eligible for an equity grant, which will be discussed in your initial recruiter conversation. Please see an overview of Morning Consult’s benefits on our Career Page.
