About the role
About Givzey | Version2.ai
Givzey | Version2.ai is a fully remote, AI-native company that created the Autonomous Fundraising category in 2024, when it researched, developed, and deployed the world’s first Autonomous AI to address the labor shortage and capacity gap in nonprofit fundraising. Fundraising teams have a finite capacity to reach donors with one-to-one communication, on average leaving 97% of donors to their organization receiving only marketing communications. A labor shortage compounds the problem: even when organizations want to hire more fundraisers, they often can't find them. The result is a significant capacity gap, where teams can't reach large pools of high-potential donors, resulting in important organizations with world-changing missions being unable to fully execute on their visions.
Version2.ai's Virtual Engagement Officers (VEOs) close the labor shortage gap with each VEO independently managing a portfolio of up to 1,000 donors, delivering personalized outreach through text, email, video, and robotically handwritten notes year-round. VEOs don't just make staff more efficient; they manage donor portfolios independently, freeing human fundraisers to focus their time on the highest-value relationships while also closing transformational revenue for these organizations.
VEOs have already generated over $20M in fundraising revenue to date, including individual gifts as large as $100,000, at an opt-out rate of just 0.07%. Organizations deploying a VEO see 4x annual ROI on average, and the top 20% see 8x or higher. More than 250 VEOs are now deployed across higher education, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and Canada, including UNICEF USA, Bucknell University, Wake Forest University, and William & Mary.
Adam Martel founded Givzey four years ago and leads the company as CEO. He previously founded, scaled, and sold Gravyty, the first company to develop and sell AI-first solutions to nonprofit organizations.
About the role
This role sits next to our Product Manager and inside the Engineering team. You’ll own the operational side of how we plan, ship, and report on work: the cycle cadence, ticket hygiene, release coordination, and cross-functional program management across product, engineering, ML, and CS.
This is a hands-on, proactive operating role. You’re the person a fast-moving engineering team routes through. You keep the work moving without waiting to be asked, and you make the way the team works a little better every cycle.
What you’ll do
Cycle operations
- Run the team’s three-week cycle cadence, including kickoff, daily standups, scope check-ins, demos, and retrospectives
- Keep blockers moving by getting each one to the person who can clear it, the same day
- Own the delivery record, the single tracker that shows the team, leadership, and CS where every piece of work stands
- Log lost time against each commitment the day it happens, and flag early when scope needs a cut
Ticket hygiene
- Maintain high-quality tickets with clear acceptance criteria and correct prioritization
- Ensure work is properly structured (parents, dependencies, scope)
- Identify and clean up orphaned, duplicate, or stale tickets
- Push back on stories that are not ready for development
Cross-functional program management
- Coordinate initiatives that span multiple teams, including Product, Engineering, ML, and Customer Success
- Manage dependencies across areas such as integrations, data pipelines, and customer readiness
- Act as the connective tissue to keep projects moving forward
- Route incoming requests to the right place (on-call, a small-fixes queue, or a future cycle) so work doesn’t get assigned through DMs
Release coordination
- Track what is included in each release
- Draft release notes and communicate updates clearly to stakeholders
- Partner with Customer Success to prepare for customer-facing changes
- Keep teams informed without creating unnecessary noise
Process improvement
- Identify gaps and inefficiencies in current workflows
- Propose and implement practical improvements
- Continuously evolve team processes rather than simply maintaining them
- Run the team’s written playbook from day one, and take ownership of it once you’ve run a full cycle
What we’re looking for
Experience
4+ years as a project manager, technical program manager, or scrum master in a software organization.
Working style
- Comfortable in an engineering room. You can follow a technical debate without needing translation.
- Not afraid to push back when a senior dev says “just trust me.”
- You care about the craft of project management more than the title.
- You have opinions about how teams should work, but aren’t dogmatic. Methodology is a tool, not a rulebook.
- You’d rather build a useful spreadsheet than implement a heavy framework.
- Comfortable being the only PM in a room of engineers.
- You’re the hub. The team routes through you, so you’re reachable and responsive during core hours, and you protect focus time without becoming hard to find.
- You finish what you pick up, completely and correctly, without needing someone to check on it.
Mindset
- Strong written communication. A lot of our work happens asynchronously and in writing.
- Comfort with ambiguity. We have a written process, and it changes every time we learn something. You’ll run it and make it better.
- You care about where the work lands. The dollars our product helps move go to university scholarships, hospital research, and food banks, and that should matter to you.
- Curious about AI as a product surface, not just a hype cycle.
- Excited by building infrastructure from scratch instead of inheriting something polished.
Nice to have
- Experience in nonprofit tech, fundraising, or B2B SaaS for nonprofits
- Familiarity with AI or ML product workflows
- Background coordinating CRM integrations (eg. Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge, etc)
What this isn’t
A pure scrum master role. We don’t need someone to facilitate ceremonies and disappear. We need a partner who owns the delivery side end to end and is comfortable being accountable for whether the work ships.
