We’re also one of the first B-Corps in Canada, meaning we’re as committed to purpose as we are to profits.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Content Designer in Benevity's Product Content. We have a clear product vision for inspiring daily goodness in our clients, their employees and customers, and the charitable causes they support. We need your help on that journey.

We're a close-knit team who work across the company to create clear and concise content that inspires users and makes our products work even better. You will apply your skills and expertise to develop meaningful, usable and accessible written content that shapes the product experience.

Our team is responsible for the content that appears throughout our products, including the product interface copy, help center content, and inspirational storytelling.
