Sparkrock helps social benefit organizations like nonprofits, school boards, and government agencies to reach their greatest potential using technology. We help to make these mission-driven organizations more efficient, freeing up their time and resources to focus on the good they want to achieve. Every day, nearly 45,000 people use our ERP products to make the world a better place.
As VP of Product at Sparkrock, you’ll be at the center of high-impact decision-making in a company where product leadership is a top strategic priority. You’ll have the freedom to develop and execute a visionary roadmap, drive innovation in AI and SaaS solutions, and enhance products that support mission-driven organizations, including educational institutions, nonprofits, and government agencies. You’ll work alongside a strong leadership team that values customer-driven innovation, strategic thinking, and bold execution. If you’re excited about building, scaling, and driving real business outcomes in a purpose-driven environment, this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
This Position Is Not for You If…
You are not technical: this role requires a deep technical background, including prior experience as a developer and ideally as an architect.
You are not process-oriented: success in this role depends on clear prioritization, structured decision-making, and well-defined workflows.
You can’t dive deep into customer needs: this role requires a granular understanding of why customers want the product, not just high-level strategy.
You prefer a maintenance role over strategic leadership: this isn’t just about keeping things running; it’s about driving acquisitions, growth, and product expansion.
This is a high-impact leadership role in a company where product innovation is at the core of business growth. Unlike many organizations where product leaders are limited to incremental feature enhancements, Sparkrock is committed to expanding its product suite through strategic innovation, AI integration, and a deep focus on customer needs. Backed by executive leadership and a company-wide mission to empower organizations in the public sector, education, and nonprofits, you’ll have the autonomy, resources, and influence to shape the future of Sparkrock’s products, drive market impact, and build a best-in-class product function.
If you thrive in an environment where bold ideas transform industries and deliver real business value, this is the role for you.
