Chariot

A payment network connecting nonprofits to the $326B in DAFs

Chariot has proven demand for a new subscription software solution for DAF Providers. This new platform has been co-designed with 6 DAF partners (and 7 more purchased in a few months) that are helping us bring to market. We expect this innovation to be revolutionary for DAF operations and relationships with nonprofit grant recipients. Your job over the next 12–18 months will be to own relationships with DAFs, Foundations, and other payer partners to drive growth and adoption of this new product line.

You will be a specialized DAF partnerships hire on the team.

We are looking for a strategic, relationship-driven operator to lead foundational payer partnerships and shape the future of philanthropic financial infrastructure.

Timing The typical interview process takes 2-4 weeks from start to finish. This tends to be mostly based on our team’s availability. That said, we have moved more quickly and look to accommodate candidates who might have a short timeline or competing offers. The more information you can share about your situation and where you are in the process, the more we can either attempt to expedite/match, or save you time if we cannot.
