Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a State Partnerships Manager to join our team! We’re a small, fast-moving group that partners closely with state correctional departments to safely and equitably reduce prison populations. That’s where you come in. You’re someone with a blend of the abilities you might see from exceptional account managers, product managers, and political strategists. You’re able to captivate an audience while telling a story, to use data effectively, and to run good meetings and get things done. Most of all you are someone who brings rigor to their work and levity to their relationships. You don't need to have direct experience with criminal justice reform but care deeply about doing work that matters.
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.
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 travel (3-10 business days per month, most average 4 days) to correctional headquarters, prisons and parole offices in partner states.
While Recidiviz employees are based throughout the country, we are looking for someone who lives within commuting distance to Austin, Texas for this particular role. We do not pay for relocation, but we welcome candidates who are currently based in Austin or are planning to be based there within a month of their start date.
Compensation is standardized based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures equitable compensation and responsible stewardship of our resources. As such, we do not negotiate compensation offers.
The compensation for this role for successful candidates with 4 or more years of relevant work experience is $131,000. The compensation for this role for successful candidates with less than 4 years of relevant work experience is $112,000.
Recidiviz was an all-volunteer effort until early 2019, when Clementine, Andrew, and Joshua founded the organization. Since then, we’ve built an A-team of software engineers, designers, product managers and domain experts, from companies like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Opower, and Sidewalk Labs. Recidiviz was part of Y-Combinator’s 2019 class and has received support from some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations, including Ford Foundation, Mackenzie Scott, Schmidt Futures, Arnold Ventures, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation.
Today, Recidiviz works with (and earns revenue from) over 15 state partners – big and small, red and blue – and covers more than 30% of the US incarcerated population. We have helped to get tens of thousands of people out of the criminal justice system, safely and equitably, and saved states nearly $1 billion. In the next five years, Recidiviz plans to partner with 40 states and help 250,000 people who are stuck in the system to get out and stay out. In addition to partnering with state Departments of Corrections, Recidiviz collaborates with and learns from partners – from organizations like the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) to community based organizations and justice-impacted individuals, whose perspectives guide our work.

Lasting change is always built on diversity. Recidiviz recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, ancestry, citizenship, marital status, gender identity and all protected status as required by applicable law. We consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. If you have a special need that requires accommodation, please let us know in your application. Even if you don't think you meet all the criteria above, drop your resume, and we'll take a look – you might be great for another role or another time!
