About Fundraise Up
We’re Fundraise Up - a global fundraising platform built to make donating to nonprofits fast, seamless, and accessible to all. Every month, our technology powers tens of millions of dollars in donations across the globe. We focus on innovation that directly impacts results: faster load times, higher conversion rates, global payment support, and accessibility-first design.
Our platform is trusted by many of the world’s leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer’s Association, and a wide range of global NGOs. With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we’re recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver.
A Truly Global Product
We operate in the enterprise segment, serving nonprofit organizations across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Europe.
We’re building a large and complex product ecosystem that serves nonprofits, donors, and partners around the world. The platform includes a modern checkout experience and customizable widgets (each a standalone SPA), donor, organization, and partner portals, admin tools, and several internal apps.
The Team
We are a distributed team of 160+ product professionals. Our team members are mainly based across Spain, Poland, Portugal, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Turkey, and Cyprus.
Despite our scale, we operate like a focused team - where every task matters and every voice is heard. We value thoughtful collaboration, strong engineering practices, and a product mindset. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.
The Lab
Fundraise Up is investing in a Lab function to explore new product lines and step-change growth opportunities. The Lab operates like a small startup: rapidly turning ambiguous opportunities into shipped pilots and clear investment decisions.
About The Role
This is a senior individual contributor PM role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and can personally drive discovery, experimentation, and early delivery with engineering and design.
The core mandate is to build and validate high-uncertainty bets and make explicit Scale / Iterate / Pivot / Kill calls based on evidence.
What You'll Do
- Build and maintain a prioritized Lab portfolio/backlog with clear hypotheses, expected upside, effort, dependencies, and status.
- Define the riskiest assumptions for each bet and design experiments with explicit kill criteria.
- Run fast experiments (spikes, prototypes, wizard-of-oz, pilots) and ship “just enough” product to learn—without overbuilding.
- Partner tightly with engineering and design to deliver pilots and instrument them to capture meaningful signals.
- Synthesize outcomes into crisp decisions: Scale / Iterate / Pivot / Kill—and prevent “zombie projects.”
- Create lightweight decision logs and learning summaries to keep leadership and GTM aligned.
- Identify GTM dependencies early (positioning, enablement, pricing, legal, support, etc.) and coordinate cross-functionally.
- When signal is strong, prepare a clean handoff package (what was validated, evidence, remaining risks, success metrics, recommended scaling plan).
What Great Looks Like in 9 Months
- A single, visible Lab portfolio exists with clear statuses, owners/counterparts, and next decision points.
- A repeatable prioritization method is in place (signals, confidence, upside, GTM dependency, effort).
- A 4–8 week experiment plan is defined and executed.
- Multiple experiments are completed and end with explicit decisions (no zombie initiatives).
- Engineering/design counterparts are named per top initiative and working cadence is established.
How the Lab team works
- One permanent owner at the start: you.
- Engineering and design support are assigned on demand per initiative, and must be made explicit for each top-priority bet.
- The biggest challenge is typically coordination with GTM, so crisp communication and early dependency management are critical.
Requirements
- Senior PM experience in 0→1 / incubation / new bets (or equivalent track record).
- Strong product judgment and technical fluency: can write specs, reason about feasibility, tradeoffs, instrumentation, and data needs.
- Comfort operating as the driver: minimal delegation, maximal ownership.
- Proven ability to run fast, scrappy experiments and move from ambiguity to decisions.
- Strong communication: can produce concise decision logs, learning summaries, and alignment artifacts.
- Uses AI as leverage for research, synthesis, prototyping, and analysis—while maintaining high-quality judgment.
Nice to have
- Experience launching early-stage products into market with measurable adoption/revenue signals.
- Experience working closely with GTM teams on positioning, enablement, and early go-to-market motion.
This Role Is Not For You If…
- Stable roadmaps, long planning cycles, and incremental optimization.
- Heavy reliance on others to structure specs, experiments, or execution.
- Low tolerance for ambiguity or rapid direction changes.
Interview focus areas (signals we’ll assess)
- Ability to turn ambiguous problems into sharp hypotheses and experiment plans.
- Speed-to-learning and rigor in kill criteria.
- Hands-on execution with engineering/design and ability to keep scope tight.
- Quality of decision-making and clarity of written artifacts.
- Cross-functional alignment (especially with GTM).
Why Work With Us
- Real ownership over high-impact bets with the authority and team to pursue them
- Leadership that values clear thinking over activity
- Permission — and expectation — to kill bad ideas early
- Access to real customers, real data, and real constraints
- Flat structure, transparent culture, and equity participation
Compensation
- The compensation range for this role is $4,600 - $5,300 gross.
- Final compensation will be determined based on relevant experience, skills, qualifications, alignment with the role’s requirements and location.
Benefits
Our compensation package includes comprehensive benefits and perks, meaningful equity, and a competitive salary:
- 31 days of paid time off
- 100% paid telemedicine plan
- Home office setup assistance
- English learning courses
- Professional education budget
- Gym or swimming pool membership
- Co-working support
