Job Description

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

Join our team and be part of a collaborative community that values innovation, personal responsibility, and the power of bottom-up solutions. Together, we will create a society that fosters opportunity, dignity, and well-being for all.
Our community is growing and so is the impact of our work to move toward a society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed by benefiting others. We're looking for a Sr. Product Manager to support Stand Together Foundation and a pipeline of new and innovative technology projects, building across a cross-disciplinary team of strategists, data scientists, designers, and developers who believe in people and the power of technology to help people transform their lives and society. Our team seeks to build a series of ambitious products and services to improve the social sector and help ensure that philanthropic and public resources are targeted to individuals and communities who can benefit from them the most.
As a Sr. Product Manager, you will utilize your skills and business acumen to work with internal and external partners to understand multi-faceted technology and business processes and help drive the delivery of new products.  You will use process mapping best practices, visualization tools, and knowledge of technology to clearly lay out requirements and process maps on key processes and workflows.
To thrive in this role, you will engage with humility, curiosity, and strong organizational skills to bring visibility to complex business operations and workflows, and then partner as a consultant with stakeholders and developers to inform innovative solutions.
