Company mission
Binti’s mission is to reinvent child welfare through software with the goal of helping every child to have a family.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of software product management experience
- Significant experience conducting user interviews to understand customer needs
- Experience working with complicated architecture projects and data migrations
- Worn many hats and can flex into UXR, design, and project management as needed
- A defined perspective on weighing and making tradeoffs (MVP vs. long-term, quantitative vs. qualitative inputs, impact vs. technical effort)
- Comfort operating in a scrappy, high-growth startup environment
- Passion for building diverse, equitable, and collaborative teams and culture
What the job involves
- At Binti, Product Managers drive the strategy and execution of innovative software products that make it easier for children to have the safety, support, and permanency of a loving home
- We spend much of our time understanding the intricacies of how the child welfare system impacts our many end users (children, families of origin, foster/adoptive families, social workers, care teams), all of whom use Binti in very different ways
- As a PM, you’ll work closely with Engineering, Design, Analytics, and customer-facing teams to hold our product quality bar high while keeping the child first
- You’ll do so alongside a kind, collaborative team of experienced Product Managers who have big ambitions for Binti and the impact we can have in child welfare
- We are looking for an entrepreneurial Product Lead who can deeply understand the problem space and build a new product that makes the initial entry point into Child Welfare an order of magnitude more child-centric, efficient, and effective
- Understand Binti’s product strategy across our product suite and support scoping features that aligns with this product strategy
- Shadow and interview social workers, families and youth to understand our user needs and scope features that empower improved outcomes for children and families, social worker time savings and internal Binti team efficiencies
- Work closely with the engineering team to execute on our roadmap as well as respond to ongoing customer needs
- Oversee product management of the associated engineering team, advising and supporting their product development strategy and ensuring the associated engineering can best empower the overall product
- Work closely with engineers, designers, and fellow product managers to scope and build new features from idea through launch
- Launching core features of a new module such as Family Finding or Prevention, working with initial customers and users to find product-market fit
- Such features include creation of services and service referrals in Prevention that can be managed between a referring agency and provider, or a genogram/family tree feature within Family Finding to better visualize relatives and connections of a child
- Enable efficiencies through the development of AI tools within Licensing that translate applicant forms and transcribe information dictated by social workers to save them time
- Supporting platform to build out our agency relationships functionality that helps agencies collaborate with each other to refer children to find the right foster family, as well as refer children and families to services across agencies
Our take
In the US there are almost half a million children in foster care, and around a quarter of those are still waiting to be adopted. Connecting children with the right families, all of whom need to be thoroughly checked before approval, is a long and labor-heavy process involving huge volumes of paperwork.
Binti is aiming to reinvent child welfare by partnering with county and state governments, and private social work firms. The company provides them with modern software to speed up and increase approval volumes while still maintaining high standards.
The company has grown quickly since launching in 2017 and struck partnerships with the likes of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, & NYC Children’s Services. The company is showing no signs of slowing down, having recently concluded another major fundraise to expand further across the US.

Company values
- Put the child first – In every decision we make, we prioritize what’s best for the child or youth over everything else.
- Embrace the best idea – Our mission drives us rather than our individual egos. That means that if another person has a better idea, we embrace it rather than trying to push our idea. We also feel comfortable dissenting and sharing a new idea because we are confident our teammates feel the same way.
- Break through walls – We have a huge vision at Binti. Each team member is treated as an owner and is both encouraged and expected to figure out ways to solve difficult problems with creativity, resourcefulness and a can-do attitude. We believe, where there is a will, there is a way.
- Create love through empathy – We value empathy and seek every day to show empathy to each other at Binti, as well as to the children, families and social workers we work with through both our actions as well as the products we build. We value giving and receiving feedback to help us increase empathy toward each other. We strive to build a welcoming and inclusive workplace.
- Empower with information – We strive to share data across the team so that others can make informed decisions as well as be motivated by the full context of the impact of their work. We also want to enable our customers to use data to make better decisions to improve outcomes for children.
