Product Manager

Atlas Network
Arlington, VA

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.


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.


Key Responsibilities


Product & Platform Management


  • Serve as the bridge between program teams and Information Systems — gathering operational needs, documenting requirements, and helping leadership prioritize enhancements and fixes
  • Manage coordination with external development contractors, keeping projects on track through clear requirements, regular communication, and structured quality review
  • Work alongside the Salesforce administrator to ensure portal integrations align with how grants, training, and events teams actually work


Quality Assurance & Testing


  • Coordinate QA processes for new features, configuration changes, and system updates
  • Participate in structured testing to verify reliability during active grant cycles, training cohorts, and reporting periods
  • Document known issues, testing outcomes, and release notes


Support & Operations


  • Manage a tier-one support queue for staff and external partners using the portal
  • Triage issues, resolve common problems, and escalate technical issues as needed 


Communication, Training & Documentation


  • Serve as a liaison between Information Systems and program teams
  • Create and maintain internal documentation, user guides, and training materials
  • Facilitate onboarding and training sessions for staff using portal workflows 


Project Coordination & Visibility


  • Track work, priorities, and progress using Monday.com and related tools
  • Provide clear updates to stakeholders and ensure next steps are well-defined
  • Participate in structured cross-team coordination, including regular standing meetings, trainings, and project check-ins with program grant-making and training teams


Qualifications & Experience


Required


  • 2–5 years of experience in product, operations, project management, or a role that required translating between stakeholders and systems
  • Comfort learning and working within complex web-based platforms.  Position doesn’t require coding or building, but does need curiosity and ability to learn our systems architecture
  • Experience keeping quality and testing processes organized, whether in a formal QA role or as part of broader operational responsibilities
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of keeping non-technical stakeholders informed and aligned
  • Highly organized with a bias toward documentation, follow-through, and closing the loop


Preferred


  • Experience managing a support queue, triaging requests, or maintaining an operational backlog in a structured way
  • Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, a learning management system, web applications, or similar platforms used across programs and operations
  • Comfort using AI tools to improve documentation, triage, and workflow efficiency
  • Experience working within an agile or structured project delivery framework
  • Drawn to mission-driven work and motivated to understand the programs and people the platform serves


Work Environment & Expectations


  • Hybrid role with a minimum of three days per week in the Arlington, VA (Ballston) office
  • Highly collaborative environment with regular interaction across departments
  • Fast-paced operational cycles tied to grants, training programs, and reporting deadlines
  • We're open to candidates at different experience levels and will calibrate scope and compensation accordingly
