Goodera enables end-to-end employee engagement programs, with a core focus on corporate volunteering. We help organizations design and deliver meaningful experiences that drive both employee engagement and social impact.
End-to-end program management: Design and execute corporate volunteering initiatives from concept to completion
Curated opportunities: Match organizations with the right experiences from our global catalog of volunteering activities
Program planning & participation: Support timelines, campaigns, and communications to drive employee registrations
Hosted experiences: Deliver engaging, high-quality sessions led by trained Goodera hosts who guide, orient, and contextualize each experience
Impact measurement: Track, measure, and communicate both employee engagement and social impact outcomes
As we continue to grow, Goodera is exploring avenues of expanding beyond volunteering into a broader suite of employee engagement offerings including team building, culture-building, and purpose-driven experiences.
This is not a traditional product manager role. You will own the technology infrastructure, systems architecture, and process-to-product translation that enables Goodera to deliver 10,000+ volunteering events a year with the consistency of a product, not the chaos of a services business. Today, our category and experience knowledge lives in documents, spreadsheets, and people's heads. Your job is to move it into systems: structured offering and activity data in GoodyOS, automated workflows that enforce quality by default, data pipelines that power category decisions, and product-enabled touchpoints that scale a beautifully designed volunteer moment to a million volunteers. You will sit within the Category team and work at the intersection of category strategy, experience design, operations, and engineering.
Tech Infrastructure & Systems Architecture
Own the systems architecture for how Goodera's offerings are represented and operated at scale: categories, activities, event briefs, run-of-shows, kits, and events as structured data in GoodyOS rather than static documents
Define and prioritize the platform roadmap for the Category and Experience functions; write crisp requirements and partner with engineering to ship them
Ensure new category launches are "born digital" - every new offering enters the platform as structured, reusable data from day one
Build the data infrastructure behind category decision-making: SKU-level performance, CPV, margin, NPS, and utilization pipelines that feed monthly category reviews and blockbuster/retirement decisions
Process Design & Process-to-Product Translation
Partner with teams to identify which SOPs, checklists, and manual workflows should become software and systematize them
Design internal workflow tooling that enforces quality standards by default rather than by training and reminders
Map the end-to-end event lifecycle across teams and eliminate friction, duplicate data entry, and information loss at each handoff
Product-Enabled Volunteer & Champion Experience
Own the digital journey for volunteers and champions: registration, pre-event communications, in-event touchpoints, post-event impact storytelling, and champion-facing tools
Translate the Experience team's journey designs into product features - taking a designed moment and building the system that delivers it reliably at scale
Run structured experimentation on digital touchpoints
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Gather roadmap input from both Category and Experience functions; maintain a transparent, prioritized backlog with clear trade-off rationale
Act as the bridge between business teams and engineering translating commercial and experience priorities into technical requirements
Champion adoption: internal tools only create value when teams use them, so drive rollout, training, and iteration based on user feedback
3-6 years of product management experience, ideally in operations-heavy contexts: service marketplaces, logistics platforms, internal tools, B2B workflow software, or ops-tech, rather than pure consumer product
Strong systems thinker: you naturally see how a messy real-world process becomes clean data models, workflows, and automations
Comfortable with data - you can define metrics, work with analysts and pipelines, model unit economics, and let evidence drive prioritization
Experience shipping internal or workflow tooling and driving adoption among non-technical users
Skilled at working with engineering teams: writing requirements, scoping trade-offs, and shipping iteratively
Bias for pragmatism over polish - you'd rather automate 80% of a painful workflow this quarter than design the perfect system for next year
Low ego, high ownership: your users are colleagues, your wins are often invisible, and you measure success by how much faster and more consistently the whole machine runs
Bonus: experience in events, hospitality, or experiential services
