Funding Change | Build things that actually matter

Let’s be honest - most product roles talk about “impact” and then have you grooming tickets for 6 months.

This isn’t that.

At Funding Change, we’re rethinking how organizations connect with donors, scale impact, and actually use technology to drive meaningful outcomes. We’re growing fast, evolving our platform, and integrating new capabilities; which means we need someone who can own product, not just manage it.

What you’ll actually do

Own the product lifecycle from idea → build → launch → iterate

Translate business goals into clear product direction (no fluff, no ambiguity)

Work closely with tech/product, and leadership to ship meaningful features; not just “nice to haves”

Act as the bridge between strategy and execution

Prioritize ruthlessly (because everything can’t be important)

Define and track success metrics and adjust when reality hits

Get hands-on with user feedback, customer insights, and data

Collaborate with third-party partners and vendors to integrate and optimize external technologies within our platform

Help shape our roadmap as we scale and integrate new technology

Set clear timelines and communicate them like a
*Boss*
- stakeholders don’t like surprises, and neither do we. If something’s early, late, or at risk, we say it.

Own delivery expectations end-to-end - not just
*what*
we’re building, but
*when*
it’s landing and why that timing makes sense

Remove blockers fast - whether it’s a business decision, missing input, or “we’re waiting on someone,” you jump in and clear the path so the team keeps moving

Be the go-to for answers - when devs have questions, they don’t stall… they come to you, and you get them what they need quickly

Prioritize with context, not just instinct - balance quick wins vs. bigger bets by aligning timelines with OKRs (sometimes a fast 5% win matters, sometimes you go all-in on the 30% move)

Own the requirements - take messy ideas, half-formed asks, and “we should probably…” conversations and turn them into clear, actionable product requirements the team can actually build against

What we’re looking for

You’ve built and shipped digital products; ideally in a scaling environment

You’re equally comfortable talking to developers, executives, and customers

You know how to turn messy ideas into structured execution

You can prioritize without overthinking everything

You’re curious, pragmatic, and not afraid to challenge assumptions

Bonus: experience with SaaS, platforms, or data-driven products

What success looks like

Teams are aligned and moving fast

Product decisions are clear and grounded in real insight

Features ship and actually get used

We’re solving real problems for our partners, not just building features

You become someone the team relies on to make things happen

Why this role matters

We’re at a point where product isn’t just supporting the business - it’s driving it.

This role sits right at the center of that.

If you want to:

Own real outcomes

Work directly with leadership

Build something that has actual impact

You’ll like it here.

A few things we value

Clarity over complexity

Progress over perfection

Ownership over excuses

Data + instinct (not one or the other)

The vibe

We’re smart, a bit scrappy, and we move quickly.

No unnecessary layers. No endless meetings.

Just good people building meaningful things (and having fun doing it).
