About the role
You'll join New Products to lead strategic 0→1 bets end-to-end. Your first bet is in the major giving space - one of the largest revenue ceilings in nonprofit fundraising. Major donors are the top 1-5% of donors who contribute 60-90% of revenue for enterprise nonprofits, a large market that is structurally underserved by digital fundraising tools. You're joining a portfolio, not a single product - the major giving bet is where you start, and your mandate is the broader New Products portfolio. Success in this role is measured by decision quality and learning speed , not by output volume or short-term adoption.
Responsibilities
- Sharpen the thesis
- Translate existing market research into a sharp, written investment thesis for the bet
- Identify the data that's still missing - pricing intel, willingness to pay, integration constraints, donor and gift-officer behaviour - and go get it through primary interviews, secondary research, and vendor landscape work
- Maintain a single source of truth for the bet: thesis, decision log, learnings
- Discovery through delivery
- Move from thesis to validated hypothesis through working prototypes
- Build prototypes yourself using AI tooling - clickable flows, interactive demos, scripted agents - and ship and iterate them in days
- Validate in three loops every cycle: with major donors and their advisors , with enterprise nonprofits (gift officers, CFOs, CRM owners), and with internal teams (Sales, CSM, Partnerships)
- Turn every validation cycle into a written decision memo with explicit kill criteria
- Own the revenue model
- Pressure-test transactional vs SaaS vs hybrid pricing against willingness-to-pay evidence
- Build the unit economics: take rate, ACV, gross margin, CAC payback
- Bring a sharpened, defensible model to leadership
- Build the GTM narrative
- Partner with PMM, CSM, and Sales on positioning and pilot pricing
- Co-own the customer advisory pipeline for the bet
- Equip GTM with the artifacts they need: one-pagers, demos, pricing rationale
- Operate transparently and uplift the team
- Publish weekly progress in the New Products channel
- Maintain decision logs and learning summaries
- Kill bad ideas in writing - never let zombies linger
- Mentor adjacent POs and PMs in New Products on discovery rigor, decision-making, and writing craft - raise the bar across the portfolio
Requirements
- 8+ years in product (or 6+ in product plus 2+ in an adjacent function - engineering, design, or data), with at least 2 years in 0→1 / new product line work - not feature optimization
- Shipped a new product line or business model that didn't exist before, ideally in B2B SaaS, fintech, or payments
- Done enterprise customer discovery at depth - 5+ decision-makers per cycle, not just user interviews
- Owned a revenue model : pricing experiments, unit economics, willingness-to-pay validation
- Comfortable being the single point of accountability for an initiative with no team yet
- AI-native by default. You don't just use AI to draft docs - you build clickable prototypes, interactive demos, and lightweight validation tools yourself using modern AI tooling. You can ship a testable prototype in days. AI is part of your discovery loop, not a separate productivity layer
- Comfortable joining a portfolio, not a single produ
