Associate Product Manager, Research Applications
This is a 3-year limited term position, reporting to the Product Manager of Getty research applications within the Collection Platforms and Data team. The APM sits at the intersection of user needs, institutional mission, and technical execution. Working closely with project managers, engineers, designers, and subject-matter experts, the APM will help translate complex research and organizational needs into clear, actionable product decisions.
We are looking for an experienced professional with a deep understanding of libraries, museums, and archives. This is a role designed for someone who is curious, thoughtful, and motivated to contribute to meaningful products in the cultural heritage space. The APM will take ownership of defined areas of work within the product lifecycle, contributing to product discovery, delivery, and continuous improvement.
This position is a hybrid work environment opportunity; this is not a fully remote assignment. The successful candidate must be a California resident when employment begins and work at least one day per week on Getty’s campus in Brentwood.
Our Product Approach
Product management at Getty is less about having immediate answers and more about cultivating context, clarity, and judgment across complex systems and stakeholder environments. In this role, you will be expected to:
Provide Context, Not Just Requirements
Develop a deep understanding of user needs, institutional goals, and system constraints, and translate them into well-framed problems for engineering and design.
Act as a Thoughtful Intermediary
Bridge communication between technical teams and stakeholders, synthesizing input and resolving ambiguity before it reaches implementation.
Navigate Stakeholder Complexity with Care
Engage researchers, curators, program staff, and technical teams with diplomacy and clarity, absorbing friction and helping align competing priorities.
Support Portfolio-Level Thinking
Contribute structured analysis, requirements, and tradeoff framing to support prioritization and roadmap decisions.
