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.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

As a Senior Technical Product Manager you will work closely with product teams, business teams, and partner organizations to collaboratively drive programs that enable ActBlue’s infrastructure and platform. You will lead vision, strategy, and roadmaps to ensure we’re building secure, scalable infrastructure and solutions to support our growing user base. You will be responsible for identifying gaps and priorities, driving impact where there are complex cross-functional dependencies, and recognizing opportunities for business and technology solutions. 

You will join a diverse team of product managers, engineers, designers, and researchers that work collaboratively to tackle challenging issues at scale. Your manager will be your champion and coach and will help ensure you are able to grow as an individual while you contribute to the excellence and advancement of our platform.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

  • Develop and drive the product vision, strategy, roadmaps, and prioritization for the team that supports and empowers multiple teams
  • Maintain accountability for end-to-end, cross-functional problems in technical domains across our infrastructure
  • Deep experience working with payments and payment systems that enable and empower financial services
  • Build leadership and organization skills, as well as support teams in their creation of tools and services for a variety of business and user needs
  • Work collaboratively with engineers and engineering leadership to drive strategy and vision around the technical aspects of our products
  • Build strong, trusting partnerships with stakeholders across our diverse organization
  • Manage the execution, QA, and launch of roadmap features and projects
  • Foster and lead with a data and research mindset 
  • Nurture a psychologically safe and inclusive team environment where everybody feels excited to contribute

WHAT YOU BRING:

  • Demonstrable experience in product management, working with cross-functional teams and the growth of complex web applications, and building new products from 0 to 1 
  • Strong strategic mindset and the ability to drive long-term strategy while effectively managing and prioritizing the execution details of ongoing projects on your team
  • Experience working with product organizations of different sizes where product, design, and engineering work in close collaboration
  • Strong communication skills with a team-centric and remote-reliant approach to discussion and collaboration, with the ability to navigate tough conversations and strive for desirable outcomes for all participants
  • Attention to detail for the design and usability of our customer experiences and empathy for our users’ needs
  • Experience making product decisions through data-driven measurements and user research; competency in using SQL and data-visualization tools is a plus
  • A strong desire for fostering inclusivity and belonging among your coworkers
  • Deep knowledge of payment ecosystems and the payment processing space
  • Interest in progressive politics

Nice to have, but not required:

  • E-commerce experience

OUR ENGINEERING VALUES:

  • We believe that ideas are more important than technologies.
  • We understand that the tools we build have real-world consequences for millions of people and take that responsibility seriously.
  • We know that code isn’t just a set of instructions for machines, but communication with other humans; style, elegance, and respect are important.
  • We believe that an ability to balance paying off technical debt and rapidly completing a project contributes to the health of the codebase, engineering team, and organization.
  • We believe that being correct isn’t enough; respect for your colleagues and users is fundamental.

An Insider's view of ActBlue

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

ActBlue has incredible work life balance! Unlimited PTO is a lifesaver. I organize outside of work for local elections, mutual aid, & direct action, and sometimes that happens during the workday. Having sufficient time to rest also helps me be more motivated & enjoy work. The culture treats PTO with respect & no one is guilted for taking time off.

Crystal

Data Engineer

What projects are you most excited about?

Our team is in the beginning stages of a Roles and Permissions overhaul for our Campaign and Non-Profit users. We will be adding the ability for these entities to grant varying access levels for different users. We hope this will allow for more users to be added to the platform, while keeping their data secure.

Nate

Senior Software Engineer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

When I first started at ActBlue in 2019, I didn’t write any code. Thanks to the supportive, mentorship-focused approach within the organization, I was given the space to learn and grow my engineering skill set. I paired regularly with my peers, did coursework, and was empowered to take on projects outside of my comfort zone.

Alli

Senior Product Designer

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

Fostering creativity starts with trust. I think innovation comes when we give individuals the autonomy to solve problems, not just build prescribed solutions. Our team collaborates early and often, empowers individuals to understand the why instead of just the what, and encourages risk through a culture of learning through iteration.

Ani

Senior Engineering Manager

What are some things you learned at the company?

As a more "seasoned" member of ActBlue, I appreciate the company's commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. I learn something new almost every single day. Working here is helping me be a better person.

Engineering Manager, DevOps
