Head of Product & Managing Director (gn)

Want to build tech for good – to empower people and drive social impact? Join us!

At GoodCrowd.org , we believe that solidarity, social justice, and community are the foundation of a better society. That’s why we’re building a crowdfunding platform for individuals, social initiatives, and companies for real impact – 100% social, 0% profit. As part of the non-profit gut.org gAG, all income goes into growing the platform and its purpose, not to investors. We’re convinced: the future is built on solidarity – and we’re looking for someone who wants to shape it with us.

To take GoodCrowd.org into its next chapter, we need someone who brings both strategic vision and genuinely enjoys hands-on execution. Someone who enjoys building a data-driven strategy just as much as working closely with the team to shape our platform, fine-tune communication details or finalise a new user flow. We are searching for someone who is highly motivated to bring our values to life in all aspects of our platform and strives to grow our social impact with us.
