Senior Product Manager, Lab

Fundraise Up is a global fundraising platform focused on making donations to nonprofits fast and accessible. They are seeking a Senior Product Manager for their Lab function to drive discovery and experimentation for new product lines, managing a portfolio of high-uncertainty bets while collaborating closely with engineering and design teams.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain a prioritized Lab portfolio/backlog with clear hypotheses, expected upside, effort, dependencies, and status
• Define the riskiest assumptions for each bet and design experiments with explicit kill criteria
• Run fast experiments (spikes, prototypes, wizard-of-oz, pilots) and ship “just enough” product to learn—without overbuilding
• Partner tightly with engineering and design to deliver pilots and instrument them to capture meaningful signals
• Synthesize outcomes into crisp decisions: Scale / Iterate / Pivot / Kill—and prevent “zombie projects.”
• Create lightweight decision logs and learning summaries to keep leadership and GTM aligned
• Identify GTM dependencies early (positioning, enablement, pricing, legal, support, etc.) and coordinate cross-functionally
• When signal is strong, prepare a clean handoff package (what was validated, evidence, remaining risks, success metrics, recommended scaling plan)

Requirements:

• Senior PM experience in 0→1 / incubation / new bets (or equivalent track record)
• Strong product judgment and technical fluency: can write specs, reason about feasibility, tradeoffs, instrumentation, and data needs
• Comfort operating as the driver: minimal delegation, maximal ownership
• Proven ability to run fast, scrappy experiments and move from ambiguity to decisions
• Strong communication: can produce concise decision logs, learning summaries, and alignment artifacts
• Uses AI as leverage for research, synthesis, prototyping, and analysis—while maintaining high-quality judgment
• Experience launching early-stage products into market with measurable adoption/revenue signals
• Experience working closely with GTM teams on positioning, enablement, and early go-to-market motion
