Graduate Product Manager

About the Role

Start your product career by helping Govineer bring useful customer-facing products to market. You will learn how to understand customers, spot market shifts, shape product decisions, and turn early ideas into clear, usable experiences. This role combines early-career product management with hands-on product design work.

Key Responsibilities

• Research customers, competitors, partners, and emerging technology; turn findings into short, useful market intelligence for product teams.
• Learn how local governments buy and use software, including the different needs of finance staff, utility teams, administrators, and residents.
• Join customer conversations, organize what you learn, and help teams distinguish observed needs from assumptions.
• Map user journeys and create simple wireframes or interactive prototypes to explore solutions with customers and teammates.
• Help plan and run usability tests; use what people actually do and say to improve flows, content, and accessibility.
• Support discovery, product requirements, experiments, release planning, launch coordination, and measurement for customer-facing features.
• Maintain clear product information, decision records, roadmaps, launch checklists, and team rituals so work is easy to follow and act on.
• Work with Engineering, Design, Sales, Support, and Marketing to prepare releases and learn from customer use.
• Explore where AI can improve a real workflow, then help test usefulness, quality, and trust with users.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• A recent degree in any relevant field, or equivalent early-career experience, and a strong interest in product management.
• Evidence of initiative through an internship, project, startup, research, community effort, or product you helped launch.
• Clear writing, structured thinking, curiosity about customers, and comfort working with data.
• An interest in product design and evidence that you can communicate an idea visually, whether through coursework, a portfolio, a prototype, or a personal project.
• Familiarity with a design tool such as Figma is useful, but not required.
• The ability to organize details, follow through, and ask good questions across technical and nontechnical teams.
• A willingness to learn public-service and enterprise software domains.

Qualifications

• Prior government technology experience is not expected.
• Nice to have: A project, internship, or volunteer experience related to civic technology or public service.

What success looks like

Teams have sharper market and customer insight; early concepts become testable prototypes; releases are coordinated and measured; you grow from supporting decisions to owning a defined product problem.
