Meet Benevity
Benevity is the way the world does good, providing companies (and their employees) with 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, the United Kingdom, the United States and more!
At Benevity, we're passionate about empowering you to design the change you wish to see in the world.
Our Product Experience team is expanding, offering exciting roles for Product Designers across various teams. With a robust product vision, we aim to spark daily acts of goodness among clients, employees, customers, and charitable causes—and we invite you to join us on this mission.
We work with global brands that shape your daily experiences, creating software that powers 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 platform.
If you're drawn to our vision and your experience aligns with what we're looking for, we encourage you to apply. We value a broad range of experiences, recognizing that skills can be adaptable and passion is a powerful motivator. Our commitment to diversity fuels our creativity and problem-solving capabilities, making us eager to welcome new perspectives to our team.
Your role:
As a Product Designer, you will be part of an empowered product team applying your experience and skills to designing solutions that meet our product outcome. Some of the problems you could be helping solve include:
- Enabling some of the biggest brands in the world to engage their customers in donating and volunteering, improving their communities and the world we all live in
- Shape the way our clients build relationships with non-profit organizations, from the hyper-local to truly global
- Helping employees organize around issues they care about, enabling them to educate and engage with their coworkers in meaningful ways
- Guide our clients as to what their employees are passionate about so they can make more informed choices around where to make larger commitments
What you’ll do:
- Report directly to a Product Design Manager and be responsible for the design quality of your product area
- Work collaboratively with your PM and Engineering peers to uncover and design solutions to our varied product challenges
- Conduct UX research to define problems clearly and assess the usability of your designs
- Uphold the highest standards of accessibility and inclusiveness in your product area
- Actively participate in ongoing planning activities with your team. Ensuring that work flowing into the team accurately captures acceptance criteria for functional and non-functional requirements
- Cross-functionally champion your designs across Benevity
- Build strong, inclusive, collaborative relationships with peers, including designers, product managers, developers, and other cross-functional team members
- Contribute thoughtfully to building an inclusive environment for everyone
What you’ll bring:
We're on the lookout for a product designer with a knack for creating impactful SaaS solutions, whether in the consumer or enterprise domain. We value diversity in experience and understand that expertise isn't solely measured by years. We're interested in someone whose skills and experiences resonate with:
- A strong portfolio showcasing your proven experience designing products that achieve real outcomes
- Experience in designing and delivering products, preferably for the B2B SaaS market
- Can demonstrate the ability to use various methods to get the most out of all phases of design thinking.
- Can demonstrate your skill in using the right pattern for the right platform be it native mobile, or responsive web.
- Well-crafted visual aesthetic, eye for pattern recognition, and an eye for detail
- You have developed communication, collaboration and creative problem-solving skills: an ability to lead and the humility to adapt
- Conduct your own generative and evaluative research studies
- Experience creating solutions that meet WCAG compliance and other inclusive design principles
- Comfortable leading meetings and facilitating workshops
- You are a cultural contributor and mentor to others
- Can use the right design tool at the right time to generate insights, high and low-fidelity prototypes, and developer-ready documentation
- A curiosity-driven approach, valuing feedback and inclusivity
- Understanding and proficiency using Figma
What to expect from us:
- Be a part of a product experience team that genuinely cares for each other and the work we do - we are a very supportive and empathetic group
- A team that's growing in size: which means opportunities for leadership if you are interested
- Giving, volunteering, and granting are surprisingly complex and rewarding problem spaces to work in
- To become a better product designer and have a tangible impact on the world here at Benevity
- Focus on outcomes, not output. Creating more acts of goodness in the world guides everything we do
- Have regular conversations with your lead and manager about your personal growth as a designer
- A flexible work location. We have offices in Calgary and Barcelona but being fully remote isn’t an issue for us. Our team's culture is remote first to ensure everyone on the team feels included in everything we do. A safe and collaborative environment, where we design for everyone
- Autonomy to balance the needs of the business with the expectations of your personal life
- $2,500 per year in charitable donations and volunteer matching through our giving program
Our hiring process:
Designed for a positive experience, we focus on understanding your 'Why, What, and How' rather than design exercises. After being contacted by the Benevity people team for an introductory call, you can expect:
- Initial interview with our design manager focused on how your skills match our job posting (60 min)
- The In-depth Portfolio presentation where you share a deep dive into your past work (60 minutes)
- The Team Interview where you get to meet some of the members of your product team (60 minutes)
- Interview with product experience leadership (60 minutes)

Where we work
At Benevity, we have developed a Community First approach that we design our people's experience around with goals to build a strong community and culture, achieve stellar execution of our business goals and social mandate, and ensure Benevity-ites thrive. For those who live within a reasonable commuting distance to an office, we can split our time working in the office and from home to optimize the opportunities of both, with the requirement that we spend at least 50% of the time in the office.
