Job description

Some companies bury their analysts in reports; Civic Innovation Lab puts its Technical Product Manager in the room where the budget gets argued. This NJ role reads like an upgrade — $94,000 - $151,000, internship hours, 6 years valued, and a path that does not dead-end.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate Civic Innovation Lab goals into quarterly roadmaps the business team can actually ship
• Coordinate with regional offices to standardize processes across NJ
• Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before Civic Innovation Lab signs anything
• Read the Competitive Analysis signals early enough to steer before the quarter closes
• Forecast demand and align operational capacity accordingly
• Coach manager stakeholders through the math behind a hard reallocation
• Drive strategic planning and quarterly goal-setting across Civic Innovation Lab business units

What You'll Bring

• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
• Judgment seasoned by at least 8 years of real consequences
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a forever-learning internship team
• A point of view on Civic Innovation Lab's space, sharpened by your own reading
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire

For all its plainspoken ambition, Civic Innovation Lab still operates like the scrappy Atlantic City startup that first cracked business years ago. Kindness and high standards live together comfortably on this employee-centric Atlantic City team.

We pair a $94,000 - $151,000 salary with health, dental, and vision plans, plus annual bonuses tied to team performance.
