Senior Technical Program Manager

San Francisco, CA

Want to help us help others?

GoFundMe is a global community built to help people help each other. We’re on a mission to make it safe and easy for people to ask for help—and get it. Our vision is to be the most helpful place in the world. Together with Classy, we’ve helped raise over $25 billion for people and organizations since 2010.

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join our Program & Portfolio team and drive the delivery of high-impact, cross-functional initiatives. This role isn’t about managing Jira boards—it’s about bringing order to chaos, making hard things easier to execute, and helping product and engineering teams move faster with clarity and confidence.

The Job...

  • Lead complex programs across product, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams—ensuring initiatives are delivered on time, with high quality, and measurable results.
  • Own execution from kickoff to launch: defining scope, aligning timelines and owners, tracking progress, escalating blockers, and managing cross-team dependencies.
  • Make ambiguity actionable by bringing structure and clarity to loosely defined problems, and helping teams break work into iterative, shippable milestones.
  • Drive decision-making across functions—ensuring that risks, tradeoffs, and blockers are surfaced quickly and addressed with the right stakeholders.
  • Create shared visibility for cross-functional workstreams, from lightweight plans to crisp updates and program dashboards that keep everyone aligned.
  • Partner closely with engineering and product teams, translating program goals into actionable next steps, and ensuring technical realities are factored into plans.
  • Continuously improve how we work, helping us codify best practices in planning, execution, and cross-org collaboration.

You...

  • 5+ years of experience in program or technical program management roles in product-led tech companies.
  • Strong familiarity with product development life cycles (PDLC), agile processes, and shipping software in fast-paced environments.
  • Able to grasp technical concepts and constraints quickly—you don’t need to write code, but you can track technical conversations, ask clarifying questions, and communicate implications clearly.
  • Proven success managing cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and evolving requirements.
  • Skilled at creating clarity, driving alignment, and keeping momentum through influence rather than authority.
  • Excellent communicator—capable of writing succinct updates, facilitating working sessions, and creating exec-ready materials.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, complexity, and change with a calm, proactive mindset.
  • You proactively surface risks and flags early and help teams course-correct with minimal disruption.
  • You bring clarity to complex programs, making them understandable and actionable across stakeholders.
  • Bias toward action and iteration—you know perfect is the enemy of good, and you push to get value shipped faster.
  • Deeply mission-aligned: you believe in the power of community, generosity, and helping others.

Bonus Points If You...

  • Are comfortable working across consumer and B2B products, especially with nonprofit or social impact focus.
  • Have experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, Amplitude, Looker, Lucid, Figma, and Google Suite.

Why Join Us?

You’ll help build the connective tissue across a team that’s transforming how people and organizations give, connect, and amplify causes that matter. You’ll work on programs that span products, business models, and user types—partnering with leaders across the company to deliver impact at scale. If you thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, and want to help build something that truly matters—we’d love to hear from you.

We live by our core values: impatient to be great, find a way, earn trust every day, fueled by purpose. Be a part of something bigger with us!

A little more about you

GoFundMe is where we help people help each other. Help comes in many different shapes and sizes, and so we aim to hire a team who reflects the diverse backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles and values of the people who come to the platform every day. 

You’ll see two sections below. The first section is a list of voluntary self-identification options so you can share what makes you, you! We want to understand the big picture of our employees’ identities, expressions, and abilities. The second section looks similar with slightly fewer specifics, and that one is for our company’s government reporting. Both of these sections are optional, and kept confidential. Your responses or your choice to opt-out have no influence on the hiring process for this role.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
