About The Campaign Finance Board The Campaign Finance Board is a nonpartisan, independent city agency that empowers New Yorkers to have a greater impact on their elections. Our mission is to make local democracy more open, transparent, and equitable by removing barriers to participation. We make it easier for New Yorkers to vote, meaningfully support candidates for city office, and run for office themselves. NYC Votes, our voter engagement initiative, meets people where they are to share trustworthy election information and help New Yorkers make a plan to vote. We publish the citywide Voter Guide, which delivers information about candidates directly to voters’ doors. Our public matching funds program ensures small contributions can make a big difference, allowing regular people to run for office by relying on the support of other regular people, not just wealthy donors and special interests. And we lift the veil on how candidates raise and spend money, increasing transparency and accountability in local government.
We believe that when every New Yorker is empowered to participate meaningfully in elections, candidates will better reflect the communities they serve, elected leaders will be more accountable to the public, and New Yorkers will have a democracy they can truly trust.
About The Department The Strategy, Products, and Innovation division is the agency’s newest division and leads the strategic planning and policy work, working across the agency to test out and implement new ideas. This division also creates the agency’s product roadmap to take us into future elections while maintaining and improving existing systems. The new Product Strategy vertical will be responsible for creating the overall roadmap for tech modernization and process improvements; prioritize tech projects to pursue and liaise between technical engineers and subject matter experts; and align tech projects with the agency’s strategic plan and objectives.
Job Description As a Product Manager at the Campaign Finance Board (CFB), you will play a critical role in defining, building, and enhancing products that support the agency’s mission. Working closely with UX, Engineering, QA, Project Managers, and CFB Subject Matter Experts, you will manage the end‑to‑end lifecycle of user‑facing applications and features. The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem solver who thrives on transforming user needs and business requirements into well‑scoped, high‑quality solutions. You are someone with strong execution skills who can balance user value, technical feasibility, and organizational priorities.
This position will require the selected candidate to obtain NYC residency within 90 days of starting their job, and be in‑person in the CFB Manhattan office a minimum of 1 day a week.
Responsibilities
Manage comprehensive product requirements and backlog prioritization, spanning the entire product lifecycle from discovery through development, launch, and post‑release iteration.

Articulate and measure product value by clearly defining how feature delivery directly supports the Campaign Finance Board's mission, public service mandate, and organizational objectives.
Contribute strategic insights to the broader organizational planning process, ensuring tactical product execution aligns with and supports agency‑wide goals.
Build strong relationships with cross‑functional peers and collaborate extensively to capture business needs, gather requirements, and translate them into precise, actionable product specifications.
Serve as the central hub for execution, autonomously driving the delivery of small to medium‑sized features end‑to‑end.
Proactively identify and mitigate project risks, dependencies, and impediments, taking direct ownership of resolutions or ensuring timely, effective escalation to leadership.
Partner closely with UX Design, Engineering, and QA teams to guide design, scope, and technical implementation, ensuring a balance between user value, technical feasibility, and organizational capacity.
Monitor product progress, resolving process bottlenecks to maintain alignment and momentum across all cross‑functional development teams.
Confidently tailor complex product messages for diverse audiences, ensuring all stakeholders are clearly and consistently informed of priorities, decisions, and progress.
Define and track critical success metrics, supporting ongoing measurement and optimization of product performance and user engagement.
Support all product deployment activities through the development of essential documentation, formal release notes, and internal training materials.
