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 product decisions. At a high level, it’s the product manager’s job to figure out what to build next, why it matters, and how to turn that direction into something a multidisciplinary team can deliver.
A technical product manager specializes in work with significant technical depth — enterprise platforms, cloud environments, APIs, data systems, integrations, and application modernization — where product decisions depend on understanding the underlying architecture, operational constraints, and engineering tradeoffs.
Skylight supports HHS’s Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) across a growing portfolio of high-visibility digital modernization work. New initiatives can arrive quickly and without fully defined requirements, users, technical approaches, or implementation plans. We need a Staff Product Manager who can bring structure to that ambiguity and help HHS move from a problem or mandate to an actionable strategy, roadmap, and delivered outcome.
The work spans two related areas:
You’ll own one or more workstreams and flex between strategic product leadership and hands-on delivery. Depending on the initiative, you may help define an emerging enterprise platform strategy, conduct discovery with HHS Divisions, turn an operational problem into a product roadmap, guide a prototype toward production, or lead the continued development of an existing digital service.
This is not a role where every project arrives with a defined product, backlog, technical architecture, or implementation plan.
Some workstreams will begin with questions like: What problem are we actually trying to solve? Which HHS Divisions need this capability? Should this be a shared enterprise service or a Division-specific solution? What already exists? What should we standardize? What should we build? And what should happen first?
Others will involve existing applications that already have users and stakeholders and need to move quickly through feature development, integration, launch, adoption, and ongoing improvement.
You’ll need to be comfortable operating at both levels.
At the enterprise level, you may work with architects, engineers, platform owners, and HHS stakeholders to understand how platforms; identify opportunities for shared services and tenant integration; define priorities and adoption strategies; and translate technical possibilities and constraints into decisions leaders can act on.
At the product level, you’ll work closely with designers, researchers, and engineers to turn user and operational needs into working software. Current and emerging application work may include enterprise mentoring, security tooling and analytics, employee onboarding, and other internal digital services.
Across both areas, speed matters. You should be comfortable learning enough to act, showing early work, testing assumptions, and refining the approach as the team learns rather than waiting for perfect information before moving forward.
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.
