Public Interest Product Fellow — 18-Month

New York City Office of Technology & Innovation; New York (NY); Vor Ort; USD 120.000 - 160.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

The New York City Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) seeks a Senior Product Management Fellow for an 18‑month tour in City government.

You will pair with designers, engineers, researchers, policy teams, and other city staff to move from problem framing to working public-facing products and services for New Yorkers; lead products from discovery through launch and iterate rapidly with cross‑functional teams.

Qualifikationen

• Minimum 5+ years of professional product management experience, with a track record of shipping consumer-facing or resident-facing digital products.
• Hands-on experience taking a product from concept through public launch, not only managing the roadmap of an existing one.

Aufgaben

• Lead resident-facing products end-to-end, from problem framing through public launch, owning scope, sequencing, and the call on what ships in version one.
• Move quickly through discovery, rapid prototyping, MVP iteration, pilot, and launch, making pragmatic tradeoffs between scope, quality, and timing.
• Plan and run discovery with New Yorkers and agency partners, working with designers and researchers to turn findings into a clear product direction the team can build against.
• Partner with designers, engineers, user researchers, and other OTI employees on day-to-day product decisions, and own scoping and prioritization for your projects.
• Build and maintain relationships with agency staff, policy advisors, legal counsel, and executive sponsors, translating between policy goals and product decisions in both directions.
• Coordinate with the wider OTI team on what is needed for production launch, including platforms, performance, security, accessibility, and compliance reviews.
• Define and measure success. Write clear metrics, instrument products, and report on what worked, what did not, and what the team learned.
• Drive public launches and rollout. Partner with comms, executive offices, and external partner organizations on announcement plans, briefings, and post-launch traffic.
• Write clear product briefs, decision memos, and post-launch retros so that institutional knowledge is maintained and the team can continuously improve.
• Help shape the product culture of a small, mission-driven team, including mentorship, hiring, and onboarding for future product managers.
• Perform special projects and initiatives related to this grant as assigned.
