Recidiviz is thrilled to be expanding our partnerships team. We’re a small, fast-moving group that leads our nonprofit’s efforts to deepen our government partnerships, generate sustainable funding for our work, and build the relationships that underpin all of our impact. You may be right for this role if:
Recidiviz is creating safer, healthier communities by improving outcomes for people in the criminal justice system. We build technology to reduce the number of people in prison and to help criminal justice leaders embrace data-driven decision-making.
Using software tools and thoughtful product design, we’ve been able to safely and permanently reduce incarceration and improve outcomes. We work side-by-side with leaders of the criminal justice system, people in prison and on supervision, and ecosystem partners to build a better path forward. In addition to the revenue we earn from state partners, some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations support our work.
People who succeed at Recidiviz lead with kindness and humility, assume good intent, learn from failure, and fix problems when they see them.
All of Recidiviz’s impact flows through deep and direct partnerships with state corrections agencies. In this role - the first of its kind at Recidiviz - you’ll focus on deepening and expanding our work with all of those partner agencies, from states that are brand-new to the platform to states that have been working with us for 4+ years and are excited to keep innovating together.
As Government Affairs Manager, you’ll work closely with the Director of Government Affairs, the State Partnerships team, and the Office of the CEO. You’ll help a small and growing team design and build its processes, identify funding opportunities, develop revenue proposals, work with government partners to co-design statements of work that underpin multi-year contracts, and help evolve both internal and external strategy. The role requires creativity, flexibility, exceptional written and verbal communication skills, and incredible attention to detail. It also requires regular travel (roughly 4 business days per month) to U.S. state capitals to work with government stakeholders and to conferences across the country.
This role has two major components: operations and strategy. The right candidate will be equally as enthusiastic about upleveling our processes and helping our team stick to ambitious timelines as they are about owning client relationships. Proactivity, detail-orientation, and collaboration are crucial.

Compensation levels are standard across the organization and are set as rungs, not bands. These levels help us ensure equitable compensation and responsible stewardship of our resources. Please note that we do not negotiate compensation offers.
The compensation for this role, which is considered L3 and requires 4 or more years of relevant professional work experience, is $131,000.
Given the right candidate, we would consider making an L2 offer to someone who has less than 4 years of relevant work experience. The compensation for an L2 in this position is $112,000.
Recidiviz was an all-volunteer effort until early 2019, when Clementine, Andrew, and Joshua founded the organization. Since then, we’ve built an A-team of software engineers, designers, product managers and domain experts, from companies like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Opower, and Sidewalk Labs. Recidiviz was part of Y-Combinator’s 2019 class and has received support from some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations, including Ford Foundation, Mackenzie Scott, Schmidt Futures, Arnold Ventures, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation.
Today, Recidiviz works with (and earns revenue from) 15 state partners – big and small, red and blue – and covers more than 30% of the US incarcerated population. We have helped to get tens of thousands of people out of the criminal justice system, safely and equitably, and saved states nearly $1 billion. In the next five years, Recidiviz plans to partner with 40 states and help 250,000 people who are stuck in the system to get out and stay out. In addition to partnering with state Departments of Corrections, Recidiviz collaborates with and learns from partners – from organizations like the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) to community based organizations and justice-impacted individuals, whose perspectives guide our work.

Lasting change is always built on diversity. Recidiviz recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, ancestry, citizenship, marital status, gender identity and all protected status as required by applicable law. We consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. If you have a special need that requires accommodation, please let us know in your application. Even if you don't think you meet all the criteria above, drop your resume, and we'll take a look – you might be great for another role or another time!
