Chariot

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

Job Description

Chariot is at an inflection point: three product lines (DAFpay, Gift Processing, Disbursements), $1.8B+ in annualized payment volume, and a product function that has been founder-led to date.

You'll own the product function at the highest level: the company-visible roadmap, prioritization across surfaces, product analytics, process, and team structure. You'll build the roadmapping and metrics discipline the company runs on — and grow and lead a small (soon larger) PM team.

This is not a pure leadership perch. Like everyone at Chariot, you stay hands-on: close to customers, close to the product, personally owning the most important problem statements while operating above the individual product areas and making everything fit together cohesively.

• Work with co-founders to clarify, execute, and measure progress towards product strategy and vision

• Stand up the roadmapping function

• Define product metrics & forecasting

• Personally own top-level problem statements

• Make the PM team successful
