Overview
Where we are at:
It was recently announced that EveryAction/NGP VAN is combining with CyberGrants and Social Solutions to create the second-largest and fastest-growing social good software company in the world.
How we're growing bigger, better, stronger:
Our number one goal remains the same as ever: keeping our shared culture of being mission-minded and passionately committed to propel social good. Bringing three like-minded companies together was deliberate - we all provide individual solutions that help social impact; but combined we're creating a mammoth opportunity to accelerate change.
We are actively recruiting across roles in the US and beyond. This role is in Austin/Boston/DC and ideally hybrid/remote approximately early 2022 when CDC guidelines are favorable.
Currently we are a remote workforce and have equipped our teams with the technology to stay connected to each other and as close to our customers as possible.
