Job Details

Overview:
Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 support for those in crisis. Text 741741 from anywhere in the US to text with a trained Crisis Counselor. Crisis Text Line trains volunteers to support people in crisis. With over 150 million messages processed to date, we’re growing quickly, but so is the need.

Product Manager, Volunteer Experience Role
As a Product Manager for the Volunteer Experience, you will define product solutions for Crisis Text Line volunteers. Our volunteers are a key user group at Crisis Text Line as they are the force behind our service, powering our ability to serve texters in need. You will drive research and analysis of the volunteer lifecycle and collaborate with design, engineering, and other volunteer stakeholder teams to deliver impactful features and enhancements. You will also help determine the prioritization of projects based on both user and stakeholder needs, and measure the success of those projects based on collaboratively established metrics... Examples of projects you might work on include: analyzing our volunteer lifecycle communications to increase engagement, determining what community means to our volunteers, and designing products that support our community in between volunteer shifts.
Responsibilities
Drive user research that provides enough information to develop a high-confidence product solution. You’ll get to know our volunteers and seek input from internal stakeholders to create solutions that align with both user needs and organizational priorities.
Ensure effective cross-functional communication throughout the product development lifecycle.
Use data to inform decision-making: synthesize research findings to collaborate on design assets with the design team and consult the data team to access historical data. As needed, ensure instrumentation is built into feature requirements to track use.
Based on ideal design and available resources, define the appropriate feature scope with engineers and document the requirements.
Test features against requirements and for usability before launch. Ensure internal stakeholders are up to speed on the intended use and how they may interact with the product or its users.
Deliver features aligned with design and scope on an established timeline. Consult leadership as needed to iterate on these decisions to ensure products meet business needs.
Apply equitable product management principles to all feature development: from inclusive user research that ensures all volunteers are represented, to building features that are accessible to our sight-impaired volunteers, to ensuring our volunteer admissions process yields a diverse volunteer base, and more.
