Director of Product

WHO WE ARE:

ActBlue is a nonprofit that builds tech and infrastructure for Democratic campaigns, progressive-aligned causes, and people trying to make an impact in order to fuel long-term, people-powered change. If you’ve ever given online to a Democrat or progressive organization, chances are you’ve used our powerful online fundraising platform.

We put power in the hands of small-dollar donors and help thousands of groups — from presidential candidates to environmental organizations — build grassroots movements. We envision a democracy where everyone looking to make progressive people-powered change can easily and effectively deploy their resources, energy, and creativity to shape our country and futures. Each and every one of us, from the political activists to the tech innovators to the customer service pros, is fully committed to our mission.

You will assist in helping set the vision, strategy, and roadmap, and partner with your engineering and operations peers to ensure we’re building secure, scalable, and valuable products to support our rapidly growing user base and business goals. You will be responsible for identifying and prioritizing the work that aligns with organization-wide initiatives to ensure that we are building the things that directly serve both long and short-term strategic goals. You will focus tightly on delivering the greatest positive impact where there are complex cross-functional dependencies, and recognizing opportunities for business and technology solutions that help us empower both small-dollar donors and large campaigns alike.

• Drive the successful execution of product initiatives, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality, strategy-aligned outcomes.
