Skylight is a digital consultancy using design and technology to help government agencies deliver better public services.
We’re at the forefront of a civic movement to reinvent how all levels of government serve families, patients, and many others in today’s digital world.
If you want to play a part in driving this critical movement forward, we’d love for you to join our growing team of public interest technologists.
The work we do matters.
At Skylight, product managers are responsible for strategy, planning, execution, stakeholder management, and team health. Product managers partner with researchers, designers, engineers, client stakeholders, and others to inform their product decisions. At a high level, it’s the product manager’s job to figure out what to build next and why.
Skylight supports HHS’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) across a growing portfolio of high-visibility work. New projects arrive quickly and often without clear scope. Our product team covers three areas:
Across all three, client leadership believes moving too slowly is a bigger risk than being wrong.
As the lead product manager, you’ll be the team’s front door with OCIO and lead a small team of product managers, while likely owning a workstream of your own.
This is a player/coach role. You’ll report directly to Skylight’s contract leadership and work on the front lines with HHS and Skylight leadership.
The work is high-visibility, and priorities shift often. You’ll need to absorb new work quickly, learn enough to act, and come back with a plan, without waiting months to learn everything first. Sometimes you’ll push back with the client, and sometimes you’ll disagree and commit. Knowing the difference is crucial. You’ll do well here if you like showing early, imperfect work and iterating on it.
In this role, you’ll also serve as a people manager. As a manager, you’ll keep growing in your craft and contributing to client work, while also taking on responsibility for the people you manage — their development, their performance, and the conditions that help them do their best work.
Important: Don’t meet every qualification but think you can do the job? We’d still love to hear from you. If you’re excited about the role, apply. We consider candidates with a range of backgrounds and experiences.
