  • Serve as the Secretariat for Foundation Boards, handling all administrative duties and correspondence.
  • Manage due dates for filings, renewals, and registrations, maintaining the Foundation's minute book.
  • Provide periodic updates, maintain records, and report progress to the Board.
  • Research and draft policies for legal review and Board approval.
  • Align Foundations with best governance practices.

What you'll bring:

Required:

  • Bachelor's degree and 6+ years in a nonprofit operational role with governance experience.
  • Native French speaker or equivalent proficiency preferred.
  • Proven ability to build strong relationships with diverse stakeholders.
  • Effective communication skills across all management levels and functional areas.
  • Indepth understanding of charitable compliance requirements.

  • Fluency in additional languages.
  • Familiarity with tools like Asana.
  • Experience with a global SaaS platform.

Innovative work. Growth opportunities. Caring co-workers. And a chance to do work that fills us with a sense of purpose.

If the idea of working on tech that helps people do good in the world lights you up... If you want a career where you're valued for who you are and challenged to see who you can become

It's time to join Benevity. We're so excited to meet you.

Join a company where DEIB isn't a buzzword:

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are part of Benevity's DNA.

You'll see the impact of our massive investment in DEIB daily — from our Black Employee Network making space for us to have difficult conversations to our Pride events and the exceptional diversity on our leadership and tech teams.
