About Atlas Network
Atlas Network is a global nonprofit that supports a worldwide community of independent think tanks and civil society organizations working to advance freedom, prosperity, and human flourishing. Our work spans grants, partnerships, training programs, events, and impact tracking across more than 100 countries.
Our custom-built partner and grantee portal is central to how we operate. What began as a simple application system has evolved into a mission-critical platform supporting grantmaking, training enrollment, reporting, partner engagement, and integrations with Salesforce and learning systems. As Atlas Network has grown, so has the importance and complexity of this infrastructure.
Product Manager
Position Overview
Atlas Network is seeking a Product Manager to join the Information Systems team and help manage, support, and improve our core partnership platform.
This role is well-suited for an organized, curious professional who enjoys translating complex workflows into clear requirements, coordinating testing and support, and keeping multiple stakeholders aligned. The Product Manager will serve as a day-to-day product facilitator — ensuring that program teams' needs are well-defined, that new features are tested and reliable, and that staff and partners receive timely support.
While comfort with web-based tools and platforms is important, success in this role depends more on communication, follow-through, and a genuine interest in how Atlas Network's programs operate across grants, training, and events.

Quality Assurance & Testing
