About The Position

The Product Manager will lead the delivery of high-quality products and systems that improve the availability and use of public health data to inform decision making. This role is aligned to the Workforce Acceleration Initiative (WAI). WAI is a federally funded CDC Foundation program with the goal of helping the nation’s public health agencies by providing them with the technology and data experts they need to accelerate their information system improvements. Working within Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s Environmental Public Health Division, the Product Manager will help increase the Division’s capacity to build modern systems, tools and technology to store environmental health services data including inspections of food establishments, education, and health care facilities. The Product Manager’s work will be pivotal in enhancing the capacity of the Division to conduct data-driven activities, advancing Tribal data sovereignty, and empowering Tribes to create healthy communities. This role is best for someone who is mission driven, has experience working with small teams to develop new products, and is comfortable bringing a product mindset to organizations who may be unfamiliar with this approach. The Product Manager will be hired by the CDC Foundation and assigned to the Environmental Public Health (EPH) Division of Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB). This position is eligible for a fully remote work arrangement for U.S. based candidates.
