Our Product Experience team is expanding, offering an exciting role for a data-specialized Product Designer for our reporting and data experiences. 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 to help turn these actions into insights.
If you're drawn to our vision and your data-rich experience aligns with what we're looking for, we encourage you to apply.
Your role:
As a Product Designer on the reporting and data team, you will be part of an empowered product team applying your experience and skills to designing solutions that help our clients communicate their social impact. Some of the problems you could be helping solve include:
- Enabling some of the biggest brands in the world to understand their giving and volunteering programs through rich data reporting.
- 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:
- Work collaboratively with your PM and Engineering peers to discover and design solutions to our varied data reporting challenges, such as creating program participation dashboards, designing self-serve tools for custom report generation, and designing for natural language AI interactions focusing on data insights.
- 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, data analysts, and other cross-functional team members
- Report directly to a Product Design Manager and be responsible for the design quality of your product area
- 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 communicating data and creating impactful SaaS solutions, whether in the consumer or enterprise domain.

- A strong portfolio showcasing your proven experience designing products that achieve real outcomes in the data reporting or data communications space
- Experience translating data into dashboard visualizations and actionable insights
- Comfortable leading meetings and facilitating workshops
- Experience in designing and delivering products in a collaborative team setting, 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
- Conduct your own generative and evaluative research studies
- A curiosity-driven approach, valuing feedback and inclusivity
- 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 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

What to expect:
- 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
- Giving, volunteering, and granting are surprisingly complex and rewarding problem spaces to work in

- 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 (90 min)
- The In-depth Portfolio presentation where you share a deep dive into your past work (90 minutes)
