Product Manager - Cambridge, United States - Civera

Description

Civera provides technology to build a better democracy by making civic information more available to everyday people, and to improve government operations, transparency, and accountability.

We are a growing software startup located in the heart of Central Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

We love what we do, we have fun doing it, and we're looking to bring on a
Product Manager to accelerate our impact.

Our ground-breaking software has the potential to become the nation's most popular tool for citizens to find election results, voting statistics, insights about money in politics; and for government agencies to revolutionize the way they serve public requests for this vital information.

Our tool is already launched or in progress in ten US states and is poised for adoption by other state, county, and municipal governments, and even other countries - and you'll be in the middle of the action.
