ABOUT US

Recidiviz is creating safer, healthier communities by improving outcomes for justice-involved people. We build tech that reduces the number of people in prison and helps criminal justice leaders embrace data-driven decision-making.
Using modern data infrastructure and thoughtful product design, we’ve been able to safely and permanently reduce incarceration and improve outcomes. We work side-by-side with leaders of the criminal justice system, justice-impacted individuals, and ecosystem partners to build a better path forward. In addition to the revenue we earn from state partners, some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations support our work.
People who succeed at Recidiviz lead with kindness and humility, assume good intent, learn from failure, and fix problems when they see them.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Be a proactive problem solver. We’re looking for someone quick to try to solve new problems they come across, rather than hoping someone else will get it — whether it’s a missing template for a recurring meeting or spilled cereal in the office.
• Have an understanding of how to make progress in challenging environments. You have a successful track record of stakeholder engagement and relationship management. You have a boundless commitment to the combination of creativity and persistence. Former colleagues describe you as the person who makes sure the changes that matter actually get implemented.
• Be a process leader. Good ideas are nothing without excellent implementation. You’re excited about building replicable, clear processes internally and externally. You’re a clear communicator and documentation wizard with a successful track record of managing cross-functional teams.
• Open-minded, humble, and curious. You are eager to learn and especially capable of active and empathetic listening, particularly with our partners, who are often subject matter experts in their own right.
• Be comfortable with, and excited by, technology: You are eager to supportively guide data analysis and technology products. You’re excited to work with a fast-moving team, helping it bring order and prioritization to complexity, while also respecting—and enjoying—the need to be flexible.
• 3+ years of experience in account management, product management, political strategy / lobbying, business development, policy, or similar role.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Have a connection to the criminal justice system and/or passion for doing work that matters: You have either lived or working experience with the operations and consequences of America’s criminal justice system. You don’t need to know everything about the field, but it is helpful if the design and efficacy of our criminal justice processes feel like issues that you cannot choose to ignore.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The State Partnerships Manager is responsible for building strong relationships, deploying relationship capital, maximizing impact, and creating value for their partner states. Your job is to partner closely with the leadership teams of state prison agencies. These leaders, your new best friends, are responsible for thousands of staff, tens of thousands of people in prison, and billions of dollars. By clearly articulating the specific needs in your partner state, you’ll define and communicate, internally and externally, how exactly Recidiviz will guide your partner states to safely increase liberty for the populations they influence. This role requires regular in-state travel (you would be expected to be holding in-person meetings with New York City officials 3-10 business days per month, with 1-4 days of travel within New York to prisons and parole offices across the state).
While Recidiviz employees are based throughout the country, we are looking for someone who lives within commuting distance to New York (NYC), NY for this particular role. We do not pay for relocation, but we welcome candidates who are currently based in New York City or are planning to be based there within a month of their start date.
