Principal Product Manager, Growth and Experience

We’re hiring a Principal Product Manager, Growth and Experience to shape how participants discover, engage with, and return to Ideas for Change, where communities move from sharing ideas to shaping real policy. You’ll own the key moments in the participant journey: driving conversion at every stage, building engagement that lasts, and inviting others into the conversation.

The ideal candidate is a growth-minded product builder who knows what moves a funnel and can prove it. They are comfortable moving from data to decision: finding the drop-off between idea and goal voting, designing the test that fixes it, then building the habit loop that brings participants back for the next round. They use AI on real work and are building toward making it a consistent part of how they operate. Most critically they want to be part of a pragmatic and ambitious team made up of the best people in the world operating with integrity and urgency. This is a chance to help millions of people take part in democracy, and to make that participation stick.

More on the problem space: Democracy is under strain. Only 28% of Americans say they are satisfied with how it works today, the lowest level ever recorded. At the same time, AI-driven economic and social disruption will demand faster, more effective government responses than our institutions are built to deliver. We are building a product to surface the public will on major issues by combining large-scale civic input with informed, representative dialogue, then activate that will at scale by mobilizing millions to shift the incentives that shape public policy. By using the same technologies that threaten democratic legitimacy, we aim to give citizens more voice than ever before, identify shared agreement across political differences, and enable collective intelligence at scale.
