Director of Product Management, Government

For People is a team of skilled technologists improving government digital services for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. We embed directly in government agencies to modernize software, systems, and platforms so that they better serve people.

Your contributions will not only grow our capabilities but also ensure that our government programs continue to meet the complex needs of the communities we serve.

Our Culture

For People is a team of humans. We emphasize positive work-life balance, healthy expectations, and making sure our loved ones are taken care of first. That means picking a child up from school during the day or going for a mid-day walk is okay!
