GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by millions of donors and 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. At our current pace, we will facilitate $100 billion in charitable giving over the next decade–enough money to send more than 1 million students to college, tuition-free.
GiveCampus is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, but we’re also practitioners of Sustainable Growth: we’ve made the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies each of the last five years and we’ve been profitable nine of the last 10. In 2025, we celebrated a $140 million growth investment that included a major liquidity event for GiveCampus employees–the second in less than three years.
Our purpose-driven team of 130+ is located in 30+ states across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, visit partner institutions, and host retreats in various locations.
While we operate at meaningful scale, we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee plays a meaningful role in shaping what comes next, and we're growing the team in support of our ambitious plans–including a $100 million investment in AI product development. If you believe in the transformative power of education and want to join a fast-growing, mission-driven company, you’ll fit right in.
Location: This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year.
Data is the foundation of everything GiveCampus is becoming. Our fastest-growing products—GC Intelligence, GC GO, personalized Outreach, Smart Ask—only deliver their value when a school's complete data is flowing into GiveCampus and back out to the systems they run their work in. Today, that flow is the single biggest thing standing between our 1,500+ Partner schools and the value we've promised them: integration friction is the number one blocker to going live, it shows up across every CRM and deal stage, and only a fraction of schools are sending us the full data our products are built to use. Closing that gap is one of the biggest growth and retention levers in front of the company.
We're hiring a Staff Product Manager to own data and integrations end-to-end—not just the roadmap, but the outcome: schools actually sending us their complete data, reliably, at scale. You'll be accountable for whether that number moves, and you'll drive everything required to move it on the product side: strategy, discovery, execution, shipping quality and velocity, reliability, activation and onboarding, and the third-party vendors and integrations that sit in the flow. You'll do it across a wide range of CRMs (Blackbaud RE NXT and BB CRM, Salesforce / Ascend, Ellucian, Veracross, Slate) and a wide range of schools—from a 2-person K-12 advancement shop to a 500-person university team. Engineering is one big input, and a critical one—but it isn't the whole job. The whole job is making the movement of data between GiveCampus and our Partners so seamless and trustworthy that adoption stops being gated on it.
You won't do that alone. Engineering is your closest build partner; Partner Success and Partner Operations live the integration pain with schools every day and are your eyes and ears in the field; Data Science helps you turn raw data into product value. And because no team could ever build every integration itself, you'll personally own a roster of external partners—CRM vendors, connector partners, and consultancies—whose roadmaps, sandboxes, and release cycles you'll learn to shape. Coverage is a team sport, and you're the captain of the technical side.
This is a PM role for someone who wants to operate like the GM of data and integrations, ship like a builder, and go deeper with users and their systems than anyone else at the company—on the phone with an Advancement Services director one hour, in a CRM's API docs the next. It's also a PM role for the AI-native era. You reach for AI across your entire workflow—research synthesis, data analysis, drafting, prototyping, experimentation, shipping—and you have a sharp point of view on where AI-enabled data transformation can move faster than waiting for a CRM's API to open up.
You'll report to the Head of Product, Platform and work in close partnership with Infrastructure Engineering, Product, Product Engineering, Partner Success, Partner Operations, Data Science, Marketing, Business Development, and Business Operations—plus the external CRM and connector partners whose roadmaps you'll help shape.
Successful Outcomes
- Complete data, flowing—the outcome that matters: The number you own is the share of schools sending us their complete data—not just the gifts we generate, but the full data set their CRM holds—on a regular cadence (the bar: ~90% of schools, at least once a month). Not a backlog. Not a velocity number. Not a feature list. If we ship a slick connector but schools don't trust it enough to turn it on, the number doesn't move and it doesn't count. You own the product half of that equation—and whatever else it takes across functions, vendors, and external partners to actually move it: activation, field mapping, migration, validation, the unglamorous reliability work that makes a connector trustworthy.
- Alliances for leverage and coverage: You can't build every integration yourself, and you shouldn't try. You build and own the partnerships—CRM vendors, connector partners, and consultancies (think Blackbaud / SKY API, Omatic, Kindsight, Huron, and the firms helping us build a Salesforce package)—that extend coverage far faster than building alone. You're comfortable that the other side's API, roadmap, and uptime are out of your hands, and you manage joint roadmaps, sandbox access, versioning, deprecation, and onboarding lead times like the leverage they are. Every alliance is a multiplier on how many schools we can reach and how fast.
- Insanely close to users and their CRMs: You know our Advancement Services and IT users—the people who actually move and manage the data—better than anyone else at the company, and you know their CRMs the same way. You're on a text-message basis with the operators running data at our schools, swapping notes on a Tuesday morning, showing up to watch them wrestle a giving-day import, taking them to lunch to hear what's broken. And you know the systems cold: the data models, where constituent records split in half, why a sync fails silently, what "low lift" actually means to an API-averse team. That depth is where you earn the authority to decide what we build—and the credibility to hold the line when the room gets loud.
- Builder mindset: You don't just write PRDs—you make things, and you do it with AI in your hands all day. AI runs across your full workflow: synthesizing user interviews, interrogating data, drafting specs, prototyping flows, generating experiments you can test in hours instead of sprints. You use AI-powered tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, Figma Make, v0, and whatever's best this month) to ship small fixes, internal utilities, and—increasingly—the AI-enabled data-mapping and transformation tooling that lets a school get its data flowing without waiting on a CRM's API. If you see a broken flow and can fix it, you open a PR; you don't file a ticket and wait. This doesn't require a CS degree. It requires initiative, taste, and a refusal to let solvable problems sit.
- Set the pace: Speed and urgency aren't a style choice; they're the job. You make decisions fast—80% right today beats 100% right next week. Nobody hands you a neat prioritized list; you see the full landscape, judge what matters most right now, and move between things—15 minutes here, a full day there, a late night when something can't slip. You set the tone for everyone around you, and that tone is fast.
Experience
- A track record of moving the number, not just shipping. Significant PM experience (typically 6+ years) owning complex data and integration products from 0-to-1 and through real scale in high-growth environments, with a tight execution loop behind you. You can name the outcomes you owned, not just the launches you led.
- Integrations and CRM scar tissue. You've built API and flat-file pipelines and bi-directional syncs—and you've been burned enough by what breaks (matching and dedup, gift semantics, ID mismatches, silent failures) to design around it. B2B SaaS required; hands-on with a major CRM (Blackbaud, Salesforce, or similar) strongly preferred.
- You've owned partners, not just used them. 2+ years managing technical partnerships—joint roadmaps, sandboxes, versioning, deprecation—and the discipline of depending on systems whose roadmap and uptime aren't yours to control.
- AI-native, with receipts. You've gone from idea to working prototype with AI-powered tooling, and ideally shipped a fix or app that solved a real problem—with the judgment to know when your hands on the keyboard multiply the team and when they distract.
- Discovery and data instincts. You've validated ideas with real users, you can tell a customer ask from a customer need, and you run your own analyses instead of waiting on someone to pull the query.
- Technical fluency with engineers. You hold your own on architecture, security, data modeling, and integration trade-offs because you understand them—and you can reason about a canonical data model and how it maps across incompatible CRMs.
