Creative Director

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!

Are you a visionary creative ready to help shape the visual identity of a global brand? As our Creative Director, you will be the guardian of the Benevity brand, responsible for defining and evolving our brand’s visual and digital language to inspire action and drive social impact. You are equally at home concepting a campaign as you are building a project plan — a rare blend of creative and operational leader who thrives on both the big idea and the details that bring it to life.

You will work at the intersection of strategy and execution, leading high-stakes creative projects and mentoring designers to elevate our profile as a category leader and the world's enterprise impact platform.

This role is ideal for a leader who “grew up digital” and knows how to run a tight creative operation. Managing the processes, contributing to the work and mentoring designers to push their craft, leading high-stakes creative projects, and evolving our brand’s visual language to inspire action and drive global social impact. If you’re ready to take your creative career to the next level, we would love to hear from you!
