You re a superb collaborator
You thrive on bringing people together, and your coordination skills have achieved real business outcomes in the past. Your colleagues describe you as empowering, or amplifying. When you re involved in a product initiative, everyone in the business knows what s going on and why we re doing it. Plus you can bring all of that to a remote, global work environment.

You re experienced
You ve been at this for a while, and can navigate interdependencies, growing companies, and manage internal teams. You re a natural leader with a point-of-view you can substantiate. You re a product veteran, with over 10 years experience, and you re excited to take the next step.

You re curious and pragmatic
You re a self-learner, you don t need to be told what to do every day, and you never let perfect be the enemy of good. You re quick to pick up a new industry even if it s technical and want to get into the weeds of a problem. You understand that a SaaS product is iterative, and we need to hold short and long term goals in the same hand.

You care about making a difference
Our product team at Aplos, Keela and Raisely exists in service of our world-changing non-profit customers and we are deeply invested in their success. So, you ve gotta want to back them too!
