Position Description:

Do you have a deep and abiding interest in grappling with the Internet’s toughest social and technical problems? Are you excited by the opportunity to drive ambitious experiments and learn by doing? Do you believe in the power of software to drive positive change?

The Applied Social Media Lab (ASML) is a new initiative of Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. Our two-year mission is to build social media solutions that center the public interest. We are assembling a team of industry-trained technologists to work with experts from academia and civil society to build new software, protocols, and designs to foster healthier human connections. Teams of industry-trained engineers, designers, and product managers will work in flexible pods organized around key challenges and opportunities such as Transparency and Governance, Distributed Protocols, Online Discourse, and more.

As a Product Manager at the Lab, you will bring strategic, execution, and technical skills to bear to drive change. You will be responsible for one of the Lab’s thematic pods, working closely with 3-4 engineers and a shared UX team. You will be responsible for outcomes -- working across functions and teams to generate new ideas, conduct experiments, and iterate quickly in search of insight and impact. You will represent the Lab as you bring together stakeholders across Harvard, academia, and industry, onboard users, and educate the public when your work is ready to share.

As a Product Manager, you will:

• Own outcomes – as with all PM jobs, you are responsible for results and impact, rather than a set of job functions.

• Set product strategy and roadmap for your pod by driving brainstorming, experimentation, and prioritization.

• Execute on multiple projects in your pod by setting success metrics, tracking progress, ensuring excellence, and managing cost and timelines.

• Represent the ASML with internal and external stakeholders, building strong relationships and influencing the course of technology and policy.

• Participate in ASML-wide brainstorming and hackathons outside your immediate area of expertise.
