Meet Benevity

Benevity’s award-winning corporate purpose software empowers companies and their people to take social action on the issues and causes they care about. Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking and positive actions, we help 940+ clients (and counting!) build better cultures and engage their employees and customers to create greater social and business impact. We’re also one of the first B-Corps in Canada, meaning we’re as committed to purpose as we are to profits.

Benevity continues to scale and we require a special type of manager to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the engineering challenges we face. A Technical Program Manager is responsible for providing program planning and management for established initiatives within Benevity's Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC). Technical program Managers are top tier subject matter experts within Benevity regarding the programs they are leading. For example, technical program managers should have expertise in program management, Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC), Software as a Service (SaaS) and software build/deployment. Helpful but not required skills include awareness of relevant tech stacks, go-to-market concepts, and, application development. Perhaps you simply have the ambition to acquire the knowledge and skills required. Either way, we would love to hear from you.
