About the role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to own cross-product and platform work across Velora, the capabilities and experiences that span Aplos, Raisely, Keela, grant management, Velora Home, and Mission Assistant.

This is a senior IC seat. You’ll create clarity in ambiguity, own complex initiatives end-to-end with minimal oversight, and partner deeply with Engineering, Data, and GTM. You’ll use AI throughout how you work and where it creates step-change for customers. You’ll mentor more junior PMs through influence and craft standards; this is not a people-manager role.

You’ll have the opportunity to support growth across all Velora products, not a single brand silo.

Why now: We’re scaling Act 3 product bets (unified Home, Mission Assistant, shared platform foundations) and need a Senior PM who can run hard problems without waiting for a playbook.

Some overlap with Pacific hours is required for collaboration across North America and our global team.

What will you be doing?

Direction and discovery

• Own Mission Assistant and cross-product initiatives end to end, from discovery through launch, adoption, and iteration.
• Help shape the Mission Assistant roadmap across Aplos, Raisely, Keela, and grant management, coordinating dependencies with other product owners.
• Lead customer research into nonprofit workflows and turn what you learn into focused bets, not feature lists.
• Decide where AI creates a real step change for customers and where simpler product work is the better call.
• Define success metrics up front, instrument impact, and close the loop after launch.

Delivery and collaboration

• Build working prototypes with AI tools, review them with your engineering pod in GitHub, and use the feedback to sharpen requirements.
• Partner with Engineering and Data on AI quality, reliability, cost, and user trust.
• Work in small, project-based pods: weekly syncs with your engineers, async prototype reviews in Slack, and Friday demos where the team shares new ideas.
• Communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly to leadership and partners, bringing options and a recommendation.
• Support rollout with enablement for CS, Sales, and Marketing, and mentor other PMs through critique, pairing, and craft standards.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years of product management in SaaS, ideally B2B, with a track record of owning products end to end from discovery through delivery and iteration.
• Experience launching several significant product initiatives, not just working through a backlog.
• Hands-on AI product experience, with real examples of AI features or prototypes you built or shipped and how you knew they worked.
• A working understanding of modern AI, including generative AI, automation, and agentic workflows, and of where LLMs do well and where they fall short.
• Comfort using AI every day in your own product work, including building lightweight prototypes to test ideas.
• Ability to partner closely with engineers and data scientists and reason through trade-offs like quality, cost, reliability, and user trust.
• A senior individual contributor mindset: you own outcomes, create structure in ambiguity, and keep things moving without waiting for direction.
• Curiosity about customers and the broader business, with the discipline to turn insights into focused bets and use metrics to prioritize.
• Strong influence across Engineering, Design, Data, and go-to-market teams, and an interest in mentoring other PMs without a manager title.
• Clear written communication and the commercial sense to connect product decisions to business outcomes.
• Nonprofit tech, fundraising, fund accounting, CRM, or grants experience is preferred, as is work on platform or multi-product suites.
