Product Manager - NYC

About the role

Morning Consult is a global decision intelligence company that pairs proprietary high-frequency data with applied artificial intelligence to inform decisions on what people think and how they will act. The role is available in any of our office locations (Washington, DC; New York, NY; Chicago, IL) or can be based remotely, with preference for candidates in Washington, DC or New York, NY. Our award‑winning, modern open‑concept offices are in Washington, DC, Chicago, IL and New York, NY, all accessible by public transportation and near great restaurants and shopping. We offer catered lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and a fridge stocked with beverages for impromptu after‑work happy hours.

Responsibilities

• Own a clean, prioritized backlog with clear user stories, requirements, acceptance criteria, and scope decisions; follow up until requirements land.
• Partner with engineering on solution design and scope, pushing for iterative releases that deliver value without waiting for perfection.
• Set the team up for productive planning and refinement by coming prepared, not catching up in the room.
• Track metrics that indicate whether something is working and use them to inform next steps.
• Proactively surface risks, blockers, and disconnects before they become fire drills.
• Work with engineering leads and your Senior PM partner to help shape and prioritize problem statements.
• Build domain fluency through questioning to understand what you’re building, 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, take on more direct stakeholder and client conversations, asking the right discovery questions rather than just relaying engineering updates.

Requirements

• Roughly 3‑5 years of relevant experience — this can be product management, or another background (engineering, operations, client success, program management) that has 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; a combination of experience and demonstrated ability may qualify you for the role.

Benefits

• Catered lunch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
• Fridge stocked with beverages for impromptu after‑work happy hours.
• Eligible for an equity grant (details discussed in initial recruiter conversation).
