Product Manager

Vannevar Labs brings innovative, robust, and scalable software design to the public servants working in defense and national security keeping our country safe. 

As a team, we exist because we believe in public service, and we think that our democracy and government improve only if we put serious, collective effort into improving them, including the technology our government uses. 

Our flagship product is Decrypt, a software platform for collecting and processing foreign language text data with a UI for enabling users to quickly interpret the data. Over the last 12 months, we’ve deployed Decrypt to more than a dozen groups in the government. Decrypt is driving some of our most important military and foreign policy decisions by enabling our government partners to understand and respond to foreign actors in ways previously not possible. 

In May of 2021 we raised a $12 million Series A investment from Costanoa Ventures and Point72, with General Catalyst participating, allowing us to take the next leap in our growth. We hope you will join us!

We are looking for a mission-driven individual to work directly with our Head of Product to help build out our flagship product, Decrypt.

As part of a small product management team, you will have an immediate outsized impact on national security and the company. We're growing quickly, and the right person for this role should be able to work in partnership with engineers, thrive in a fast-paced environment with many competing priorities, be self-directed, and comfortable navigating ambiguity.A combination of technical prowess, strong project execution, and excellent communication skills will make a candidate successful.

About You - You have experience in software product development and have taken something from an idea to a deployed product.You can turn conflicting or incomplete ideas into concrete action plans. Likewise, you can clearly say “No” when needed in order to cut through ambiguity. You’re excited about achieving ambitious goals, and bias towards action to help with any task that furthers them, whether that’s developing a demo, writing documentation, or QA'ing a new release. You are curious and have a high rate of learning.
