Chariot

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

Job Description

We're at a critical inflection point in our product journey. Our technology is transforming how donors give and how nonprofits raise funds, but to scale our impact, we need product people who can turn deep customer understanding into products that ship. We're hiring at multiple levels: depending on your experience, you'll own an entire product line end to end, or own individual high-impact projects within one. Scope, title, and compensation are calibrated accordingly.

You'll own real product surface area from day one: gathering insight from customers and internal teams, shaping priorities, defining requirements precisely enough that engineers can build fast, and shipping. You'll work closely with engineering, design, GTM, and our nonprofit and platform partners turning insights into scalable product.

This is a high impact role, perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of product strategy, customer experience, and execution.

• Drive product direction through customer insight

• Turn ambiguous ideas into buildable product

• Own your surface's priorities

• Move fast on the riskiest assumption

• Increase engineering velocity through clarity and focus

• Navigate product development with live clients

👤 About You

Must Haves

• 3+ years of product management experience — we're hiring at multiple levels and will match scope and title to your experience

• First-principles product thinking: you connect customer pain points to product solutions, and behind your best work there's an insight others missed

• Precise scoping and spec writing: you turn ambiguous requests into well-defined projects engineers can execute

• Highly organized and detail-oriented: you manage multiple parallel workstreams, follow through on commitments, and nothing falls through the cracks

• You ship: a track record of work that actually got built, launched, and adopted

• Clear, followable communication, written and live

• Technical fluency — comfort with data models, API docs, webhooks/auth flows — whether from a CS degree or self-taught (expected for the most senior scope; a big plus otherwise)

Nice to Haves

• Experience building product process (roadmaps, metrics, cycle planning) at an early or growth-stage startup

• B2B SaaS fintech, or payments experience

• Familiarity with nonprofit sector, CRMs (Salesforce NPSP, Blackbaud), or fundraising platforms

• Track record of improving processes to reduce manual work
