Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. 

As our digital product organization evolves, we are strengthening how we support Grassroots and advocacy efforts through more structured, collaborative, and scalable digital experiences. 

As a Product Manager for Grassroots Digital Experiences within Stand Together’s Marketing & Communications team, you will lead and coordinate a complex workstream spanning state chapters, local and national campaigns, and core web experiences. You will operate within a durable, cross-functional team - including a Scrum Master, UX Design Lead, Tech Lead, and QA - translating diverse stakeholder needs into clear priorities, aligned direction, and effective execution. 

 This role requires strong product judgment to balance near-term campaign demands with longer-term experience improvements, while ensuring work is shared, visible, and scalable. You’ll operate in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment where digital experiences support advocacy and engagement at scale- across an ecosystem of 100+ websites with varied lifecycles, integrations, design systems, and content needs.
