GiveCampus is the world's leading fundraising platform for non-profit educational institutions. Trusted by millions of donors and 1,300+ colleges, universities, and K-12 schools, our mission is to help advance the quality, the affordability, and the accessibility of education. At our current pace, we will facilitate $100 billion in charitable giving over the next decade–enough money to send more than 1 million students to college, tuition-free.
GiveCampus is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, but we’re also practitioners of Sustainable Growth: we’ve made the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies each of the last five years and we’ve been profitable nine of the last 10. In 2025, we celebrated a $140 million growth investment that included a major liquidity event for GiveCampus employees–the second in less than three years.
Our purpose-driven team of 130+ is located in 30+ states across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, visit partner institutions, and host retreats in various locations.
While we operate at meaningful scale, we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee plays a meaningful role in shaping what comes next, and we're growing the team in support of our ambitious plans–including a $100 million investment in AI product development. If you believe in the transformative power of education and want to join a fast-growing, mission-driven company, you’ll fit right in.
Location: This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection. Team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year.
The Manager on the Partner Success team is a player-coach role responsible for leading a small team of Partner Success Managers in the Independent Schools space while also directly managing a West Coast–based portfolio of schools and therefore an expectation to be able to serve schools in Pacific Time and travel there with regularity. You will be a strategic leader and cultural role model who empowers team members to grow, drives accountability for outcomes, and cultivates an environment of high performance and support. At the same time, you’ll stay grounded in the work by serving as a trusted advisor to your own set of partner schools and setting an example through your own work.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, has a bias for action, and takes pride in being both a coach and a contributor. You’ll balance individual impact with team-level leadership and play a critical role in advancing our mission and evolving our team.
Please Note: Partner Success team members are expected to attend multiple company-wide and team-specific onsites throughout the year as well as visit on-site with partner schools. Travel expectations are 2+ times per month.
