We are looking for a Manager of Global Operations to join our dynamic team in Calgary, AB. This role requires operational experience with a global SaaS product as well as a knack for interpreting global regulatory requirements and translating them into simple operational and product workflows.

Benevity’s Global Operations team is driving forward our industry-leading global donation platform and products.
