We’re looking for an impact-minded product manager to help us grow Permission Slip, a mobile app that helps users take back control of the data companies have about them. In this consulting assignment, you will help us realize Permission Slip’s potential by collaborating on a best-in-class product that advocates for consumers, increases the public’s awareness of how technology works, and enhances our collective privacy and power.
This assignment will involve running day-to-day product operations for the Permission Slip team for 4-6 months, helping us meet ambitious growth and engagement goals. You’ll learn a lot about product innovation at non-profit enterprises, and work with multi-disciplinary, cross-functional colleagues to bring great product experiences to life.
What you will do:
- Coordinate engineering, design, marketing and user research to deliver on a redesigned home screen experience in Permission Slip.
- Revisit Permission Slip’s user onboarding flow to reduce drop-off rates.
- Propose and help implement a strategy that promotes adoption of Permission Slip and regular engagement with the app. Growth levers could include push notifications, automatic requests to data brokers, and more.
- Liaise with and provide feedback for external vendors and contractors, helping the team deliver high quality work and make deadlines.
- Help shepherd new releases and coordinate QA on new versions of the app to ensure high-quality experiences for Permission Slip users.
- Facilitate brainstorming sessions for Permission Slip and help shape the app’s future direction.
About You
- You have at least two years of experience in software product development or early stage technology companies. While you do not need to have previous experience as a product manager specifically, you should have demonstrated success in driving consumer-facing software to completion.

- You are data-driven with a strong focus on defining and building towards clear success metrics.
- You have experience designing, building, and shipping excellent products.
