Marketplace Manager (Nonprofit Services)

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. Stand Together Foundation partners with bold social entrepreneurs to help communities thrive. We believe in the power of bottom-up solutions to transform lives — and that the best way to change how our country solves problems is to elevate the people and organizations already doing it differently. The Catalyst Community is a nationwide network of 300+ nonprofit organizations delivering empowerment-based solutions and challenging status quo models. To deepen our investment in this community, Stand Together Foundation created the Products and Services Marketplace: an initiative that provides Catalysts with strategic offerings beyond their onboarding experience. The Marketplace connects nonprofit leaders with practical coaching, tools, and resources that help them strengthen their organizations, grow their impact, and continue applying what they’ve learned over time. It is designed to evolve with their needs, offering opportunities shaped by what leaders find most valuable and scaling those that deliver the greatest results. By drawing on the skills and expertise of Stand Together teams and partners, the Marketplace equips leaders to sustain their impact in meaningful, lasting ways. The Marketplace Manager will serve as the dedicated steward of the Marketplace — owning its strategy, operations, and continuous improvement. This role bridges vision and execution: overseeing day-to-day logistics, cataloguing and refreshing offerings, capturing demand signals, and ensuring stakeholders and users have a seamless and empowering experience. The Marketplace Manager will collaborate closely with internal and external contributors, coaches, and the Investments team to ensure the Marketplace remains a vibrant, data-informed, and strategically aligned resource. By setting standards, creating processes, and telling the story of impact through analytics, the Marketplace Manager will make sure the Marketplace grows as a durable, future-oriented system that strengthens the Catalyst Community and Stand Together Foundation’s vision of a stronger, more effective social sector.
