Product Manager
Young Americans for Liberty
Description
We’re seeking a Product Manager to lead the launch, adoption, and ongoing improvement of the Liberty Action platform, which is YAL/Liberty Action’s digital hub for grassroots liberty activism.
You’ll own the product roadmap, orchestrate cross‑team execution, and ensure members experience a seamless journey from signup to sustained activism. You’ll manage engagement features (including our gamification system, e.g., “Eagles”), partner closely with engineering and field teams, and drive a data‑informed approach to growth.
Location: Remote (occasional travel required)
Reports to: Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
Employment: Full‑time
What You’ll Do
Launch & Adoption

Product Roadmap & Features
- Maintain a rolling, prioritized roadmap aligned to campaign needs; run quarterly planning.
- Scope and ship features in tight, iterative cycles; manage dependencies and risks.
- Oversee integrations with campaign tools (Hubspot, email/SMS, analytics).

- Own the end‑to‑end journey from signup → membership → first action → repeated activism.
- Operate the gamification system (levels, badges, streaks, leaderboards) and ensure it drives quality actions.
- Define and track engagement KPIs (activation, DAU/WAU/MAU, actions/member, retention, cohort health).
Cross‑Team Collaboration
- Serve as the connective tissue across engineering, field staff, marketing/growth, and content.
- Coordinate funnel campaigns that drive platform growth and action‑taking.
- Communicate progress, tradeoffs, and learnings clearly to stakeholders.
Feedback & Continuous Improvement
