Product Manager

B Generous is a new FinTech startup that is addressing the half-a-trillion-dollar underserved donor nonprofit market in the U.S. At B Generous we’re powering nonprofits and donors to achieve more together by using financial technology for good. We accomplish this through our proprietary, and first of its kind, philanthropic credit product which allows donors to Donate Now, Pay Later (think Affirm/Klarna for nonprofits).

Founded by an experienced and well-known tech entrepreneur, B Generous has just raised a significant venture capital round from some of the top VC funds in Silicon Valley and New York.

Experience in building scalable tech products and procedures for financial institutions/fintechs and/or nonprofit tech firms is a plus.
