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.

Our backend is powered by Node.js (Koa, NestJS) and MongoDB. The frontend stack includes Webpack, Vue.js, and React, with nearly all code written in TypeScript. For high-throughput messaging and background processing, we use Kafka (for millions of events) and Bull (Redis). Analytics data is stored in ClickHouse, and we use Elasticsearch for search.

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. Biweekly engineering forums give space to share learnings and celebrate technical achievements. You’ll be joining a team where quality, mentorship, and mutual respect come first.

About the role

As Director of Product, Core Markets, you will own the strategy and execution that positions Fundraise Up as the category leader in key nonprofit verticals. You’ll lead and grow a team of Product Managers, collaborate tightly with Sales, GTM, and Customer Success, and engage directly with senior nonprofit executives on complex, enterprise-scale deals. This is a hands-on, results-driven role — you will set bold vision, raise the bar on execution, and drive measurable revenue growth and market dominance.

What “Core Markets” means here

Core Markets represent the priority verticals where Fundraise Up has established strong traction and significant growth potential — including large Tier 1 & Tier 2 nonprofits across Cause & Cure, Faith-based, and adjacent segments. Your mandate: position Fundraise Up as the partner of choice and default platform within these key markets.

Key Responsibilities

Market & Customer Leadership

• Develop deep expertise in Core Markets — understand segments, buying behaviors, procurement and RFP patterns, compliance requirements, and the key barriers to adoption.
• Drive continuous discovery — conduct executive interviews, site visits, and industry events, translating insights into clear “must-haves” versus differentiators for each vertical.
• Own strategic enterprise deals — present the product vision, address objections, and collaborate with the Go-to-Market team to co-create scalable, enterprise-grade rollout plans.

Portfolio Strategy & Outcomes

• Define and own the Core Markets strategy and multi-quarter roadmap across verticals; articulate crisp bets with quantified business cases.
• Balance scale vs. customization: protect product integrity while unlocking enterprise wins (no “zoo” of one-offs).
• Set and deliver against OKRs that tie directly to revenue and adoption (ARR growth, win-rate, NRR, adoption of key capabilities).

Team Leadership

• Hire, mentor, and inspire 2–5 PMs (vertical leads). Build a culture of ownership, curiosity, and high accountability.
• Establish operating rituals (discovery cadence, metrics reviews, launch playbooks) that scale learning and delivery.
• Grow leaders: coach PMs to manage their own cross-functional pods and represent the product credibly with enterprise customers.

GTM & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Operate as a true partner to Sales, Solutions, CS, and Marketing: equip teams with product narratives, competitive angles, and clear boundaries.
• Lead cross-functional execution with Engineering, Design, and Analytics to ship impactful, reliable capabilities on time.
• Communicate trade-offs with executive clarity; make decisions, document rationale, and keep stakeholders aligned.

Skills and Qualifications

• 10+ years in Product Management, with 3+ years leading PMs (managing managers or multiple PMs across areas).
• Enterprise B2B experience (SaaS/fintech/payments/e-commerce or adjacent), including pre-sales/RFPs and complex stakeholder management.
• Proven discovery & execution track record: from insight → business case → delivery → measurable impact.
• Metrics fluency: ARR, NRR, win-rate, conversion, adoption, time-to-value; strong analytical and decision-making skills.
• Communication: C1/C2 English—clear, confident, and persuasive with executives and cross-functional teams.
• Travel-ready: comfortable with regular customer visits and conferences (including the U.S.).

Bonus points

• Experience in nonprofit, giving, or payments (compliance, risk, donor experience).
• History of building vertical toolkits/solutions that scale across enterprise accounts.

What Great Looks Like in 12 Months

• Significantly improved win rate in our core markets.
• 80%+ of release expectations achieved.
• Clear narrative and playbooks for the field: why we win, where we don’t, what to say “no” to—and why.
• Team operating system in place: quarterly strategy reviews, robust discovery pipeline, and predictable delivery.

Director-Level Behaviors We Expect

• Accountable & reliable: owns outcomes, not just plans.
• Empathetic & relentlessly curious: keeps digging until root causes and workable solutions are found.
• Executive presence: confidently challenges and influences senior nonprofit leaders; commands the room with clarity and respect.
• Sales-friendly, product-centric: partners with GTM while protecting long-term product leverage.
• Resourceful & persistent: never stuck—always finds the next path forward with urgency.

Why work with us

• A strong, collaborative product team that owns what it builds
• Clear product vision and access to real customer feedback from global nonprofit leaders
• Flat structure: no politics, just great work with great people
• Transparent company culture-we share how we’re growing, where revenue comes from, and what’s next
• Long-term focus: we offer equity options and value sustained, meaningful contribution

Benefits

• 31 days off
• 100% paid telemedicine plan
• Home Office Setup Assistance: the company offers assistance with purchasing furniture (office chair, office desk, monitor) and other items to create a comfortable workspace.
• English learning courses
• Relevant professional education
• Gym or swimming pool
• Co-working
• Remote working

About the Role

We’re looking for a Team Lead to join our Product Analytics team for the New Products direction. The New Products direction is our “internal incubator,” responsible for the company’s future revenue. We don’t just improve existing products — we launch entirely new business verticals from scratch.

Currently, we have three key focus areas:
    1.    P2P (Peer-to-Peer): Building tools for mass fundraising events and marathons (a market with $8M+ ARR potential).
    2.    Tap-to-Pay & Kiosks: Enabling offline donations via smartphones and physical terminals.
    3.    Major Donors: Leveraging AI to identify and engage high-value donors.

At the moment, the team consists of one analyst who has already started working on the P2P product.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a right hand to product leads (PMs): help define success criteria for pilots and evaluate whether new products gain traction
• Build analytics from scratch: design data collection systems and ensure reliability monitoring from day one
• Evaluate the performance of new product launches
• Lead and grow the team: mentor team members, run 1:1s, and establish processes in a fast-growing function, as well as plan the roadmap and oversee execution and timelines

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as a Product Analyst

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.

About the role

Fundraise Up is building high-trust donation and fundraising experiences that help nonprofits grow their impact. We’re looking for a UX Researcher to join our Product Research Team and raise the quality, speed, and decision-making power of research across the product.

This role combines classic UX research and Product Discovery: new markets, segments, and product opportunities. You will work across both B2C and B2B contexts: donor-facing experiences (B2C) and nonprofit/org-facing workflows (B2B).

What You'll Do

• Take a research initiative from the quarterly plan and run it end-to-end: intake brief → write methodology → conduct research → analyse → synthesize → present → push actions.
• Choose the right method: interviews, usability tests, concept tests, surveys, desk research, competitive scans or others — based on uncertainty level, business goals, and timeline.
• Set up the mechanics: access to tools/data, participant scheduling and confirmations, session logistics, note-taking, recording, and documentation — no hand-holding.
• Be the cross-team “glue”: proactively collect hypotheses and context from Sales, Customer Success, Support, Marketing, Analytics, and turn them into testable research questions.
• Stay close to product analytics: monitor dashboards and reports, work with analysts to spot anomalies/drop-offs, form hypotheses, and prioritize what to validate with research.
• Produce outputs people can use immediately: key findings, decisions, trade-offs, risks, and clear recommendations, with supporting evidence (quotes, clips, metrics).
• Keep an internal pulse: regularly review existing research, past studies, competitor insights, and synthesize what’s already known before running something new.
• Be the user best friend: ensure user needs and constraints are represented in product decisions – not just opinions.

Requirements

• Proven experience running research end-to-end with high ownership.
• Strong methodological toolkit and judgment: you can pick the right method for the question, given business goals, timelines, and uncertainty, and explain trade-offs clearly.
• Experience working across both B2C and B2B products and audiences.
• Fluent English — all participants are English-speaking; you moderate and present in English.
• Can work with analytics: read dashboards, spot anomalies/drop-offs, form hypotheses, and validate them via research; PostHog/Tableau is a plus.
• Regularly collect input from Sales, CS, Support, Marketing, Analytics and turn it into testable research questions.
• High research quality bar: structured methodology, and ethical practice.
• Use recruiting platforms and handle logistics yourself: access, scheduling, confirmations, tool setup, etc.
• Use AI tools to speed up ops and synthesis (guides, notes, tagging/themes, survey drafts, summaries) while keeping human judgment and methodological rigor where it matters.
• You don’t need to be a marketer, but you should understand core terms and how they affect research and insights.
• Be the team’s source of new knowledge: run a “research radar” across internal learnings, market/competitor moves, and high-signal UX/product sources, then share regular updates so the team stays current and avoids blind spots.
• Bring exceptional empathy and care for people: our users are nonprofits and donors—people doing good in the world—so you approach participants with respect, sensitivity, and high ethical standards.

Strong plus

• NN/g certifications.
• Academic/scientific research background (graduate/PhD track).
• PostHog / Tableau (or similar analytics tools).
• Productboard (or other insights repository tools).
• Mentoring/teaching (workshops, onboarding, sharing research craft).

Why work with us

• A strong, collaborative product team that owns what it builds
• Clear product vision and access to real customer feedback from global nonprofit leaders
• Flat structure: no politics, just great work with great people
• Transparent company culture-we share how we’re growing, where revenue comes from, and what’s next
• Long-term focus: we offer equity options and value sustained, meaningful contribution

Benefits

• 31 days off
• 100% paid telemedicine plan

• English learning courses

At JetBrains, we’re building an AI-native platform for software development that connects developer workflows, team collaboration, and organizational control into a single coherent system. This platform serves as the execution and governance layer for AI-driven development and is deeply integrated with JetBrains tools and designed to work across teams, products, and environments.

As part of this vision, we’re building AI governance capabilities into JetBrains Console that help organizations manage, observe, and understand AI usage across their teams. Our AI analytics give company admins and decision-makers visibility into adoption, usage, cost, and the impact of AI agent development.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the vision and execution for customer-facing AI analytics as part of our AI governance product. This is one of the most valuable areas of the platform – it helps organizations understand how AI is being adopted across JetBrains products and third-party AI tools, how it affects developer workflows, where friction exists, and how to make better decisions about rollout, budgets, limits, and tooling. 

In this role, you will:

• Own the product roadmap for AI analytics within JetBrains Console.
• Drive product discovery using customer research, product telemetry, usage data, and feedback from Sales, Customer Success, and other customer-facing teams.
• Define and develop analytics experiences across adoption, usage, cost, activity, and impact.
• Identify, define, and improve the product metrics behind our analytics, ensuring they are meaningful, trustworthy, and actionable for customers.
• Generate, prioritize, and validate hypotheses through research, data analysis, and experimentation.
• Work closely with engineering, design, and data warehouse teams to define problems, shape solutions, and iterate quickly.
• Collaborate with adjacent product teams across AI, IDEs, licensing, and administration to build coherent customer experiences.
• Help shape the next generation of analytics capabilities, including deeper dashboards, segmentation, and API-enabled access to analytics data.

We’ll be happy to have you on our team if you:

• Have 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in B2B or enterprise software.
• Have experience building analytics, observability, reporting, or admin-facing products.
• Have a technical background or hands-on experience with software development.
• Are familiar with modern software development practices and developer workflows.
• Have a strong understanding of product metrics, telemetry, and data-informed decision-making.
• Are comfortable working with technical products and engineering-heavy teams.
• Are proficient in English, with strong written and spoken communication skills.

We'd be especially thrilled if you have:

• Experience in AI products for developers, governance, compliance, or usage-based platforms.
• Experience building products for software teams, engineering organizations, or technical decision-makers.

Why join JetBrains? 

• Strong base salary. We offer competitive pay that reflects your skills and experience.
• Flexible work location. Enjoy the freedom to work from home or from the office.
• Remote work. Spend up to 30 days per year working remotely from abroad.
• Extra time off. More days to relax, recharge, and do the things you love.
• Medical insurance allowance. Enjoy peace of mind for you and your family
• Learning and development opportunities. Access to conferences, courses, and language classes.
• Relocation support. We help make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
• Language classes. Pick up the local language or sharpen your English skills.
• Fuel your day. Enjoy a hot meal or receive a lunch allowance on workdays.
• Mental health support. To help you feel your best, we provide easy access to professional mental health services.
• Sports benefit. Enjoy an on-site gym or sports club stipend.
• Internal events. Join company-wide celebrations and team gatherings.

About the Role

What You’ll Do

• Translate company and product strategy into clear, actionable plans
• Ensure OKRs connect directly to roadmap and weekly execution
• Identify gaps between goals and actual delivery, and close them

• Establish and run planning cycles (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
• Standardize how teams plan, prioritize, and track work
• Ensure consistent use of tools like Jira, dashboards, and reporting

• Define and run the end-to-end release process across all teams
• Ensure every release is scoped, ready, and aligned across Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM
• Drive release readiness reviews (quality, dependencies, documentation, enablement)
• Coordinate launch plans including internal enablement, documentation, and external communication
• Prevent “silent releases” by ensuring every release has clear intent, messaging, and success criteria

• Track release performance post-launch (usage, adoption, impact on KPIs)
• Identify gaps between shipped features and actual customer value
• Close the loop between Product, Support, and GTM on release feedback
• Drive improvements in release quality, reducing rework and customer-facing issues

• Create clear, real-time visibility into progress, releases, risks, and blockers
• Drive regular business and release reviews with leadership
• Hold teams accountable to commitments without becoming bureaucratic

• Identify inefficiencies across discovery, delivery, and release
• Simplify workflows, reduce noise, and remove friction
• Ensure teams focus on outcomes, not just output

• Align Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM on priorities and releases
• Ensure dependencies are visible and managed proactively
• Eliminate miscommunication and last-minute surprises around launches

• Bring data, metrics, and insights into product and release discussions
• Support prioritization with clear context, not frameworks for the sake of it
• Ensure teams understand trade-offs and make decisions quickly

What Good Looks Like in This Role

• Releases are predictable, well-coordinated, and high quality
• No last-minute chaos before launch
• Every release has clear goals, messaging, and measurable impact
• Teams know exactly what is shipping, when, and why
• Leadership has visibility into both execution and release outcomes
• Adoption and customer impact improve, not just output

What We’re Looking For

Experience

• 5+ years in Product Operations, Product Management, or similar roles
• Experience managing product releases in SaaS or platform companies
• Proven track record of improving product team effectiveness and release quality

• Strong operational thinking and structured problem solving
• Deep understanding of product development lifecycle, including release management
• Ability to connect strategy to execution and launch
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management
• Comfortable working with data, metrics, and dashboards

• You care about outcomes, not just shipping features
• You push for clarity, readiness, and quality before release
• You are comfortable challenging teams when something is not ready to ship
• You move fast and fix issues instead of letting broken releases go out

• Experience scaling product organizations
• Familiarity with tools like Jira/Youtrack, Product Discovery tools, Notion
• Experience working on platform or AI-driven products

Why This Role Matters

This is a force-multiplier role.
You won’t just support the product team, you will ensure that what gets built actually reaches customers in a way that drives adoption and impact. This role directly determines whether your product ships chaos or ships value.

If you want, I can push this one step further and define a release framework (what “ready to ship” actually means) so this role doesn’t become a coordinator but a gatekeeper of quality.

About the role

At JetBrains, we’re building an AI-native platform for software development that connects developer workflows, team-level collaboration, and organizational control into a single coherent system. This platform will serve as the execution and governance layer for AI-driven development. It will be deeply integrated with developer tools but designed to work across teams, products, and environments. This is a long-term strategic investment for JetBrains and a key pillar of our vision for the future of software development.

We are now looking for a Senior Product Leader to own and drive the development of our enterprise agent platform, including seat-based governance, ROI/TCO dials on AI spend, hybrid cloud support, and public APIs. This role requires someone who has operated at large tech scale (e.g. M2/L7+) or as a VP of Product in a high-growth B2B startup, and who can combine long-term platform vision with disciplined, incremental delivery.

You will partner across engineering, design, go-to-market, legal, and customer success to define, prioritize, and deliver capabilities that make our platform the operational backbone for hybrid and cloud-native adoption at scale.

In this role, you will:

• Define and execute the roadmap for the platform’s control and execution planes.
  
  
• Lead the development of key platform primitives and console UX.
  
  
• Shape hybrid cloud and enterprise readiness capabilities.
  
  
• Define and deliver public APIs for enterprise extensibility.
  
  
• Align cross-functional teams around priorities and measurable outcomes.
  
  
• Engage directly with strategic customers and design partners at the VP+ level.
  
  
• Define KPIs and drive disciplined execution.

We will be happy to have you on our team if you are:

• A senior product leader with C-suite accountability.
  
  
• Experienced in building platform, governance, or developer tooling products.
  
  
• Strong in both strategy and execution, with no tendency toward “big bang” thinking.
  
  
• Comfortable working with enterprise customers and hybrid environments.
  
  
• An excellent communicator and cross-functional leader.
  
  
• Data-driven and outcome-oriented.
