Product Manager
Regular Full-Time

Do you have a passion for using technology to bring about social change? Are you driven to find innovative solutions that promote sustainable social impact? If so, come join the team at Benetech!
Benetech is a Palo Alto, CA-based nonprofit that empowers communities with software for social good. Our work transforms how people with disabilities read, learn, and gain meaningful employment and makes it safer for human rights defenders to pursue truth and justice.
As Product Manager within the Global Education and Literacy program, you will be responsible for the planning, support and development of multiple Bookshare products. This includes managing the products throughout the Product Lifecycle: gathering and defining product requirements, working closely with engineering and operations, and collaborating with marketing to deliver successful products for our customers and partners.

  *   Design and analyze metrics to assess product impact and communicate opportunities for development to the organization
  *   Balance the engineering workload across the existing priorities, while managing budget and timing allocations of projects

  *   3+ years of relevant professional experience
  *   Demonstrated skill in gathering and interpreting user perspectives so that requirements and design reflect real needs
