Meet Benevity 

The world’s coolest companies (and their employees) use Benevity’s technology to take social action on the issues they care about. Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking, employee resource groups and micro-actions, we help most of the Fortune 100 brands build better cultures and use their power for good. We’re also one of the first B Corporations in Canada, meaning we’re as committed to purpose as we are to profits. We have people working all over the world, including Canada, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, the United States and more!

The Product Experience team is growing, and we have fantastic opportunities for Senior Product Designers on many of our teams. We have a clear product vision for igniting new ways of inspiring daily goodness in the hands of clients, employees, customers and charitable causes. We need your help on that journey.

Benevity's clients are global brands that are part of your everyday life. They use the software we design and build to run their corporate goodness programs. Their goal is to attract, retain and engage today’s diverse global workforce by connecting employees to the millions of causes through our ecosystem. 

Take some time to read through this job posting, and if your passions and experience match what we have laid out here, please consider applying. Experience comes in many forms: skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team.
