Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Comcate builds CRM and citizen engagement software for local government agencies. The company is seeking a fractional Strategic Product Manager to validate and refine its CRM product positioning through customer evidence, market assessment, and direct customer discovery. The role will translate validated positioning into practical sales and marketing assets.
Responsibilities
- Pressure-test our current CRM positioning against real customer evidence — confirm what's right, flag what's wrong, and identify which opportunities are worth pursuing and how
- Run direct customer and prospect conversations to surface demand that doesn't show up in standard market data (e.g., staff time lost to manual workarounds)
- Deliver a market-backed assessment covering opportunity size, product gaps, and go-to-market fit — a decision-ready recommendation, not a slide deck or a written report to hand off and walk away from
- Translate validated positioning into assets our sales and marketing teams can actually use
Skills
- Product management experience in an early-stage, unstructured govtech or public-sector SaaS environment — you've worked directly with founders and owned ambiguous, zero-to-one problems
- Comfort forming independent judgment from partial evidence, not just executing a pre-defined research plan
- Direct, hands-on customer discovery experience — this is not a research-assistant or analyst role
- Prior local government, civic tech, or public-sector domain exposure is a strong plus, though not required if your discovery instincts are strong
Benefits
- Remote
