Head of Consumer Insights

Who We Are: 

Omaze is a fundraising platform that has raised over $150M to support charities to date by offering people the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences and prizes.

Omaze is on a mission to dream the world better, both for our customers and for the charities that we support in our work every day.

Omaze winners have gone to Lake Como with George and Amal Clooney, received Pope Francis’ Lamborghini, lived in Europe for a month, or even received $1M cash.

Meanwhile, Omaze experiences have helped build a children’s hospice center in the UK, a community hub assisting the homeless population of LA, and solar water farms in multiple countries around the world. 

Omaze was named Fast Company’s 2020 Most Innovative Companies and Forbes’ 2021 Best Startup Employers in America.

We’re on a path to disrupt the fundraising space and spread optimism at scale, and we’re expanding our exceptional team to help us get there.
