Are you a passionate innovator looking to harness the power of technology to do more good? You’ve come to the right place. NGP VAN, together with ActionKit and Mobilize, delivers leading technology to Democratic and progressive campaigns as well as nonprofits. 

Our parent company, Bonterra, was formed by bringing together leading solutions from CyberGrants, EveryAction, Network for Good, Social Solutions and their respective entities to form the second-largest and fastest-growing social good software company in the world. This collaboration will help NGP VAN accelerate enhancements in our platforms and continue to drive our top three areas of focus: reinforcing the core, committing to innovation, and helping lead in the Democratic ecosystem. 

We are currently operating as a remote workforce and have equipped our teams with the technology to stay connected to each other and our customers.

Mobilize is the volunteer recruitment and events management platform that connects mission-driven organizations and their supporters. The Mobilize platform has helped 3,000 advocacy organizations, nonprofits, unions, and political campaigns like Planned Parenthood, the Human Rights Campaign, AARP, and the Biden/Harris Presidential campaign sign up more than 4 million supporters for over 15 million actions.

Mobilize was acquired in December 2020 by EveryAction, the leading technology platform for mission-driven organizations. This partnership is turbocharging our growth and creating many new opportunities to scale the team’s impact. Together, we are part of the Bonterra family of products.

About the role
