Product Manager

GovPilot provides cloud-based software solutions to local governments, aiming to make our communities better places to live and work. They are looking for a Product Manager to manage the Hedgerow product organization, focusing on the product roadmap and integrating AI into their offerings.

Responsibilities:

• Own the product roadmap and prioritize based on customer needs, business goals, and technical tradeoffs
• Run sprint planning, standups, retros, and backlog grooming, adapting the process to what the team actually needs
• Write clear specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineers can build from without guessing
• Work closely with engineering leads to keep the team's velocity and quality high
• Bring AI into the product, both as a feature area and as a way the team works
• Talk to customers regularly and turn what you hear into product decisions
• Report on progress and tradeoffs to leadership in plain language

Requirements:

• 5+ years in product management, with real experience running agile teams (Scrum, Kanban, or your own hybrid that works)
• A track record of shipping software and owning outcomes, not just outputs
• Strong opinions about AI and how it's changing product work, backed by hands-on experience using AI tools yourself
• Comfortable running a team's operating rhythm: planning, prioritization, and keeping people unblocked
• Clear writer and communicator, able to explain a decision to an engineer and a non-technical exec with equal clarity
• A convincing advocate who can internalize customers' motivations and speak their language, including familiarity with the environmental health domain and awareness of US and Canadian audiences
• Design taste: a strong eye for UI/UX, and comfortable facilitating user testing to validate product decisions
• A lot of agency — you lead without waiting to be told, and adapt when the plan changes
• Experience in GovTech, SaaS, or selling to non-technical buyers
• You've run a migration using agile before, moving a team or product off an old system without stalling delivery
• Experience in environmental health or other GovTech niches
• A fundamental understanding of financial subsystems including billing, aging, and penalization
