Recidiviz is excited to bring on a Product Growth Manager to join the Product Growth team! We’re a small, fast-moving team that is tasked with increasing the impact of our products by driving up usage and adoption in our partner states. Our team works directly with our users within state Departments of Corrections, such as parole and probation officers, case managers, supervisors, and justice-impacted individuals, to build relationships that can turn non-users into power users and power users into evangelists. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for someone to be the face of Recidiviz to our users, to have boots on the ground increasing adoption and impact of Recidiviz tools.
Please note this role is not a Product Manager and does not handle product development.
Recidiviz is creating safer, healthier communities by reducing incarceration safely, equitably, and at scale. 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. They are excited to work arm in arm with government leadership and staff to improve outcomes. They are great listeners. They build deep relationships with and empathy for the people we work with and the people who our mission serves, even when those two groups feel at odds.
We’re looking for an empathetic, collaborative, fast learner who is able to quickly develop a deep understanding of our tools to help launch, land, and grow our tools with a diverse set of users. What you’ll do:
In the first year, a wildly successful hire will:
Compensation is standardized based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures equitable compensation and responsible stewardship of our resources. As such, we do not negotiate compensation offers.
For employees based in the Oakland, CA, and New York City, NY, metropolitan areas, the salary for this role is $120,000. For employees based elsewhere in the United States, the salary for this role is $93,000.
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) over 18 state partners – big and small, red and blue – and covers more than 40% 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.

Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Product Manager to join our team! We’re a small, fast-moving nonprofit that builds tools that impact criminal justice decision making and outcomes. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a creative, high-agency product leader who can help shape our roadmap, rally cross-functional teams, and bring impactful ideas to life with scrappy execution and strategic insight.

Product Managers at Recidiviz own big, complex, mission-critical problem spaces and turn them into high-impact, highly-loved software. You’ll work with engineers, designers, and justice system leaders to identify opportunities, ship products, and iterate fast. Travel is part of the role and planned collaboratively — but the role is remote-flexible with offices in NYC and Oakland for those who prefer hybrid.
Please note: We expect this role will require 10-25% of time spent traveling domestically across the US, about 1-3 trips per quarter. We expect these trips to include visits to prisons and parole offices.
In your first year at Recidiviz, you might:

Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Director of Product to join our team! We're a small, fast-moving group building technology that helps government leaders safely reduce incarceration and improve outcomes for people in the criminal justice system. That's where you come in. We're looking for a product leader who is equally energized by people and strategy — someone who can set the direction, build the systems, and develop a high-performing team of product managers to do the most important work of their careers.
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.

They build deep relationships with and empathy for the people we work with and the people who our mission serves, even when those two groups feel at odds.
This role sits at the center of Recidiviz's ability to scale. As a Director of Product, you'll lead and develop a team of experienced product managers — people with years of domain expertise, strong opinions, and a deep commitment to the mission. Your job is to make each of them sharper, more supported, and more impactful: setting the strategic context that guides their work, building the people systems that help them grow, and creating the conditions for them to do the best work of their careers. You'll report to the Chief Impact Officer and serve as a key partner on product direction, team health, and the org design decisions that will shape Recidiviz as it grows toward national scale. Some travel to our state partners, internal team gatherings, and offsites is expected.
Here are a few things you might accomplish in your first year that would demonstrate wild success in this role. Some of these will be the direct result of your work. Others will be because of the conditions you've set for a great team to do great things — which is just as important.
Compensation is standardized based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures equitable compensation and responsible stewardship of our resources. As such, we do not negotiate compensation offers.
