You are a superstar marketer who can create a range of content for print, web and social media. You are that rare breed of marketer who has both creative and critical prowess: you can analyze and advocate, position and persuade, create  killer content and review the results.  You sweat the small stuff and get the big picture, too. If making a difference matters to you and working with iconic F500 companies and charities to change the world sounds like an exciting adventure, then read on!

Who we are

Better Work and a Better World: at Benevity that’s what we’re all about.

You’ll join a dedicated, passionate team that creates innovative solutions (we were just honoured with our second TechRev Innovators Award) for our raving fans (er, clients). And you’ll get to rub shoulders with some of the most iconic and notable companies and charities in the world to help them make a difference (in even better ways). Our entrepreneurial environment appeals to self-driven, flexible team players who learn quickly, aren’t afraid to tackle hard problems and don’t mind wearing jeans to work. Sound cool? Join us!
