🚀 Chariot is a charitable payments company that’s revolutionizing the philanthropic financial system. We believe more money needs to move to nonprofits faster, so we are building tools that activate more philanthropic dollars and transform nonprofit operations to be more efficient.
We are currently backed by YC, Maveron, Spark Capital, SV Angel, and top-tier angel investors like Mike Massaro, Adam Grant, and Angela Duckworth. Our team is made up of passionate and talented individuals with prior work experience at Blackrock, Bain, Goldman Sachs, Palantir, and Forage (YC21).
đź—˝ We are fully in-person in New York City, which helps us maintain our extremely collaborative and caring team culture.
We're at a critical inflection point in our product journey. Our technology is transforming how donors give and how nonprofits raise funds, but to scale our impact, we need someone who can lead product strategy. This role bridges deep customer understanding with hands-on product leadership, ensuring what we build is both visionary and grounded in real use.
You’ll own the evolution of our new product: shaping roadmap priorities, defining requirements, and building systems that make complex financial workflows effortless for nonprofits and platforms alike. You’ll work closely with engineering, design, and our nonprofit and platform partners, turning insights into scalable product features.
This is a high-impact product leadership role, perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of product strategy, customer experience, and execution.

Chariot is building the financial infrastructure for the $326 billion donor-advised fund (DAF) market, the fastest-growing segment of philanthropy. Our gift processing platform is an end-to-end solution for managing DAF payments, making it easier for grantmakers to send grant payments and nonprofits to receive, reconcile, and enrich their donation data.
Chariot also powers DAFpay, the industry’s first integrated DAF payment option and a TIME’s Best Invention of 2025. It is embedded on over 100,000 nonprofits’ donation forms—including American Cancer Society, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and University of Pennsylvania—and is a primary payment option on leading fundraising platforms like GoFundMe and GiveButter.
Hundreds of millions are already moving through Chariot’s platform, and we’re just getting started.
