Posted on Jul 27, 2024

FreeWill is an award-winning, social-good startup that has partnered with 1,500+ nonprofits who support our mission while raising more than $10B in bequests to charities since we were founded in 2017. We’ve been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Oprah’s magazine, and our co-CEOs have even been named to Town & Country’s “Top 50 Philanthropists” list.

All of this is because we’ve figured out how to make some powerful (but complicated!) ways to donate much easier and more accessible. Our products make things easier for the donors who want to change the world and for nonprofits doing heroic work around the planet.

In the last 6 years, we’ve grown from 5 people to 175+ (all smart, tenacious, and kind), and continue to grow. We’d love to have you be a part of this adventure. In 2024, we were named a "Most Loved Workplace"; you can also check us out on Glassdoor!

Senior Product Manager
Full-time • Excellent Benefits • Work from Anywhere in the US (except AL, CO, or LA)

About the Role

We are looking for an ambitious product manager to help raise the next $1 billion for charity. This role will require taking on a high level of responsibility across a wide variety of projects. The Product Manager will focus on setting the course for the coming years, defining clear business objectives and executing annual product roadmaps. This role will influence strategic decisions in bringing new ideas to market-- these may relate to existing products, such as planned giving and major giving, or may focus on new products or markets. We are looking for someone who is customer-centric in their approach to building products and thrives in a fast-paced environment with ambiguity. We are also looking for someone with strong planning, organization, and execution skills to help us take our products to new heights.

This role reports to our VP of R&D and is fully remote. Unfortunately, we can’t sponsor H1Bs at this time. Beyond competitive compensation and equity in a fast-growing startup, you’ll get unlimited vacation, benefits, and the chance to learn and change the world alongside a world-class team.

FreeWill has set compensation and a non-negotiation policy for fairness reasons (we don't think that an individual's pay should be determined by how comfortable they are negotiating). As a result, we like to be transparent and up front about the compensation. When we make an offer, we provide multiple options so that employees can choose between compensation packages that prioritize salary or stock options. The offers for this role will be between $160,000 and $170,000.
