Role
Who you are
- We're intentionally open on background here. We're less focused on whether you've run a product team before and more focused on whether you're a self-starter who's smart, curious, and proactive. A few years of relevant experience is great; what matters most is how you operate
- Roughly 3-5 years of relevant experience — this can be product management, or another background (engineering, operations, client success, program management) that's built the same muscles
- Proactive, low-ego, and collaborative — you care more about the team's outcomes than individual credit, and you'd rather ask "want me to jump in on this?" than wait to be assigned
- A strong, clear communicator who shares status and priorities without being asked, and who's comfortable saying "here's where this actually stands"
- Comfortable moving fast and showing work early, even when it's not fully polished — you'd rather check in on direction than burn a week perfecting something that might be off-track
- Curious enough to dig into a technical domain you haven't worked in before and keep asking questions until you genuinely understand it
- A relationship-builder — engineers trust you, and people don't worry about what's happening on your team
- Experience with APIs or technical/data products is a plus, but not required
- It is not required that you meet each of the above to qualify for consideration. A combination of experience and demonstrated ability may qualify you for the role
- We view the above section as a guide, not a checklist. Research shows that underrepresented/marginalized groups are less likely to apply for a job if they feel that they don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. We welcome diverse and non-traditional backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t satisfy every single bullet on this list! It’s expected that you’ll learn and grow throughout your time at Morning Consult, so if you’re open to building new skills, we’d love to hear from you
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Product Manager to join our highly collaborative, driven, and creative product & engineering team. It’s never been a more exciting time to work at a data company building products on mountains of proprietary data. For the last few years, we’ve been continuously innovating on how we leverage AI to meet the next level of customer need, with creativity and speed
- This is an execution-first role. You'll partner day-to-day with engineering to turn priorities into a strong, well-run backlog — writing tickets, unblocking work, tracking down the follow-up nobody else caught, and making sure nothing stalls between teams. We do a lot of our work in ambiguous problem spaces that are being mapped out as we go. Your job is to bring clarity and momentum to the work, not to have all the answers on day one
- You'll work closely with a Senior PM who owns the broader strategic picture across two engineering teams. What we need most is someone who can lock into the details, keep things moving, and build trust with engineers and stakeholders along the way. Over time, as you build context and track record, this role has room to grow into more strategic ownership and direct client-facing work
- Own a clean, prioritized backlog with clear user stories, requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope decisions. Following up until requirements actually land
- Partner with engineering on solution design and scope, pushing for iterative releases that get value out the door without waiting for perfect
- Set the team up for productive planning and refinement by coming prepared, not catching up in the room
- Track the metrics that tell you whether something's actually working, and use them to inform what's next
- Proactively surface risks, blockers, and things that aren't connecting — before they turn into fire drills
- Work with engineering leads and your Senior PM partner to help shape and prioritize problem statements
- Build enough domain fluency — through relentless, good-natured question-asking — to understand not just what you're building, but why it matters and what it unlocks downstream
- Communicate clearly to a range of audiences: writing help docs and release notes, and keeping stakeholders honestly informed on status
- As you grow in the role, take on more direct stakeholder and client conversations — asking the right discovery questions rather than just relaying what engineering tells you
Our take
What began as a single poll looking at the American youth has become one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America, as previously classified by Deloitte. Morning Consult is a global decision intelligence company that specialises in online survey research technology.
It has become a first port of call for many industry leaders who want access to its technology that offers insights, news, and analysis at speed and scale. This position is down to the company’s access to over 100 million people globally, generating tens of thousands of daily interviews. Morning Consult's impressive client base represents more than half of the Fortune 500, including many companies that feature in the Top 10 in their respective fields.
Unlocking unicorn status in 2021, this new status and capital will see its development of additional AI applications whilst continuing to grow its global data collection infrastructure. Despite a round of layoffs in 2024 undertaken to aid profitability and product development, the company will maintain its top-tier seat within the rapidly-growing decision intelligence market.
