Senior Product Manager

GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. We received a seed investment from Y Combinator in 2015 and have pursued a strategy of 'Sustainable Growth' ever since: achieving six consecutive years of profitability and positive cash-flow while more than quadrupling our revenue, our customer base, and our team. In 2022, we raised $50 million to accelerate the next stage of our growth.

Through The GiveCampus Social Mobility Initiative, we've donated $1 million in free fundraising support for programs that help low-income students, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities. And in 2022 and 2023, we were named to Y Combinator's Top Companies list and the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies.

While we operate at meaningful scale (we've facilitated more than $6 billion in charitable giving), we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee has a substantial impact on our trajectory, and we're growing to help schools achieve even greater results.

Our purpose-driven team of 120+ is located across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000 sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, events, and retreats in various locations. We're looking to expand our team with diverse and collaborative doers who believe in our mission and the transformative power of affordable, high-quality education.

Location: This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year.

We are looking for a best-in-class Senior Product Manager to expand existing and build new fundraising products used by 1000+ educational institutions to facilitate hundreds of millions of dollars of philanthropic donations each year. This person will drive the in-product outcomes and ship the solutions required for our sales and marketing engine to grow revenue by >5x over the next 3 years. They will report to the Head of Product and work in close partnership with Engineering, Data Science, Partner Operations, Partner Success, Marketing, and Business Development.

Successful Outcomes

• Commercial results, co-owned—whatever it takes: You and your GTM Lead co-own the GC Events commercial KR. Not a backlog. Not a velocity number. Not a feature list. If we ship the right thing but the number doesn't move, that's on both of you. If we ship nametag printing but the printers never arrived on time, it doesn't matter that we shipped it. You're accountable for the product half of the equation and whatever else it takes across functions, vendors, and external partners to actually move the number.
• Insanely close to users: You know GC Events better than anyone else on the planet, and you know our Partners the same way. You're on a text-message basis with the fundraisers running events at our schools—swapping voice notes with them on a Tuesday morning, showing up in person to watch them run registration at homecoming, taking them to lunch to hear what's broken. You know which Partners are thrilled, which are at risk of churn, and which deals we absolutely need to win. That depth is where you earn the authority to decide what we build—and the credibility to hold the line on those decisions when the room gets loud.
• Builder mindset: You don't just write PRDs—you make things, and you do it with AI in your hands all day. AI runs across your full workflow: synthesizing user interviews, interrogating data, drafting specs and briefs, prototyping flows, generating experiments you can test in hours instead of sprints. You use AI-powered tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, Figma Make, v0, and whatever's best this month) to ship small fixes, experiments, and companion apps yourself—if you see a broken flow and can fix it, you open a PR; you don't file a ticket and wait. This doesn't require a CS degree. It requires initiative, taste, and a refusal to let solvable problems sit.
• Strategy, prioritization, and AI in the product: With input and buy-in from Partners and customer-facing teams, you develop and continuously refine a GC Events roadmap that delivers the outcomes our Partners and internal teams need—and that further differentiates GC Events in the market. A meaningful part of the job is figuring out the role of AI in GC Events: both in how the product gets built and in how it unlocks new value for users. You have a point of view on which problems are best solved with AI (and which aren't), where AI earns a spot in the core flow, how human-in-the-loop should work, and what new experiences become possible when AI is in the registration, ticketing, or auction flow. What to build, what to cut, where to push, when to ship—these are judgment calls, not optimization problems, and the team is counting on yours.
• Set the pace: Speed and urgency aren't a style choice; they're the job. You make decisions fast—80% right today beats 100% right next week. Nobody hands you a neat prioritized list; you see the full landscape, judge what matters most right now, and move between things—15 minutes here, a full day there, a late night when something can't slip. You set the tone for everyone around you, and that tone is fast.
