Join Our Team

Project Manager

Humanitru was founded with one mission in mind: to help the helpers. We believe that nonprofits need modern solutions to engage their donors, volunteers, and supporters in order to sustain and scale their social impact. Without funding, the mission can’t continue. Humanitru empowers nonprofits to fundraise more effectively using data to understand the why behind what motivates someone to give.

We do so by providing nonprofits with a modern, intuitive, and automated CRM that manages data not only around donors, but also about volunteers, events, and email marketing. That way, nonprofits can make informed decisions that take into context all of the ways that someone supports the cause.

Since our product launch in March 2019, we’ve on-boarded and served 100+ nonprofits across the United States in causes as diverse as homelessness & addiction, mindfulness, sex trafficking, etc. In all of these cases, we’ve replaced clunky on-premise solutions, automated tedious menial work, and transformed how they operate.

Today, we are looking to expand our product team to take us to 300 clients and beyond. You’ll be joining Humanitru’s first in-house product team on the ground floor as we mature our flagship product, providing input into the next generation of nonprofit technology. We’re fresh off the heels of Techstars and excited for this next phase of growth.

POSITION

We are looking for a project manager to join our product team, responsible for coordinating between various stakeholders to deliver software effectively and in a timely manner to our clients. You will be working directly with the (technical) CEO, software development team, and product owner on a day-to-day basis, and interfacing with the larger company and clientele when appropriate.

Our core stack is a Ruby on Rails platform on top of MySQL, with jQuery + Bootstrap as our front-end. We are deployed on DigitalOcean / AWS with Phusion Passenger and NGINX.

Empathy is a must as this role interacts with a wide variety of stakeholder profiles, including externally to clients. We are looking for those with at least 1+ years of similar experience (project management, product management, etc.)

We are headquartered out of Richmond, VA, but have a remote-first work culture (most team members are Eastern Time-zone based)

We are looking to invest in a full-time team member; however, we are open to part-time / contract with the possibility of eventual full-time

CULTURE

• Transparent Communication: We pride ourselves on honest and transparent communication; preferring to over communicate than not communicate at all.

• Commitment and Accountability: We are committed and accountable to our customers and our team. When we say we will do something, we will do it. We do this through deep empathy, putting ourselves in our customers’ and teammates’ shoes to reach a deeper level of understanding and solve the right problems.
