## Description (the employer's text)

### Job Description

Chariot is at an inflection point: three product lines (DAFpay, Gift Processing, Disbursements), $1.8B+ in annualized payment volume, and a product function that has been founder-led to date.

You'll own the product function at the highest level: the company-visible roadmap, prioritization across surfaces, product analytics, process, and team structure. You'll build the roadmapping and metrics discipline the company runs on — and grow and lead the PM team.

This is not a pure leadership perch. Like everyone at Chariot, you stay hands-on: close to customers, close to the product, personally owning the most important problem statements while operating above the individual product areas and making everything fit together cohesively.

Work with co-founders to clarify, execute, and measure progress towards product strategy and vision

Decide where product should head and ensure every surface's work adds up to one coherent story

### Stand up the roadmapping function

A living, company-visible roadmap; monthly cycle planning; GTM, ops, and partnerships learn about launches months before ship

### Define product metrics & forecasting

Every problem statement has metrics the team drives toward; forecasts exist and are trusted

### Personally own top-level problem statements

Stay in the work: scope, spec, and ship alongside the team

### Make the PM team successful

The PMs reporting to you solve the right problems and deliver; you raise PM-to-eng leverage toward 1 PM : 2 engineers

### 👤 About You

### Must Haves

12+ years in product

You've led and grown product teams, as a product leader or founder, and scaled a company from Series A to Series D or beyond (or equivalent: grew through hypergrowth, e.g. 30 → 300 people)

You come from an excellent company with a genuinely high product bar

Still an operator: you can personally scope, spec, and ship

Highly organized and detail-oriented: you bring the structure and process a fast-moving team needs, without ceremony

Technically credible: you understand what it takes to build things and can hold your own with strong engineers

### 📚 What you’ll get from Chariot

At Chariot, we are building modern, end-to-end payment infrastructure making donors' lives easier, and nonprofits' lives better. $600B gets donated to charity each year in the US and the existing technology/infrastructure was still built for our grandparents generation. Chariot is here to change that.

Traction. Annualizing over $1.8B in payment volume through Chariot. Tens of thousands of nonprofits already onboarded including American Cancer Society, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and University of Pennsylvania.

Impact: That money services nonprofits working in homelessness, health, education, the environment, and so much more.

Market opportunity: Billion dollar revenue opportunity. Fintech company operating in an untapped $600B market
