Product Manager

About Authorium

Authorium is the governed front door for government documents. Every consequential thing a government does starts as a document, whether a scope of work, a minimum needs statement, a bill analysis, a project charter, and it has to become governed, structured action: an approval, a procurement, a contract, a grant. We start with the document, connect it to a governed AI layer, and let it accrue the actions that turn it into a workflow.

We're investing in AI capabilities - both internally and externally - building workflows specifically for government operations, and building an AI-first operational culture to accelerate our work and go further. AI isn't a side project here - it's reshaping both what we build and how we build it.

The Role

We're looking for a Product Manager to own a defined product area end-to-end. You'll drive the full product development lifecycle for your area, from discovery and requirements through delivery and iteration, with regular alignment to the Head of Product.

This role is a strong fit for someone with 2+ years of PM experience who wants to take full ownership of a product area within a fast-moving, mission-driven company. PMs at Authorium prototype their own concepts, and for anyone who wants to deepen their coding skills, we actively support that growth. You'll work closely with Engineering, Solutions, and client stakeholders to build software that modernizes how government operates.
