Brand Designer

Givebutter is the most-loved nonprofit fundraising and CRM platform, empowering millions of changemakers to raise more, pay less, and give better. Nonprofits use Givebutter to replace multiple tools so they can launch fundraisers and events, use donation forms and donor management (CRM), send emails and text blasts—all in one place. Use of the Givebutter platform is completely free with a 100% transparent tip-or-fee model.

Givebutter has been certified as a Great Place to Work® every year since 2021, and is the #1 rated nonprofit software company on G2 across multiple categories.

Our mission is to empower the changemaker in all of us. We believe giving should be fun, so you’ll want to do it again, and we also believe that work should be fun, so that you’ll have the greatest impact. We are excited to hear from talented people who want to work with other talented people in making the world a butter place—and have fun along the way. 

Givebutter is a fun brand with a serious mission. Givebutter exists to empower people who are empowering people. Nonprofits rely on us to raise billions for causes that matter, and every interaction they have with us — a campaign page, an event booth, a fundraising email, a social ad, a moment inside the product — is a chance to remind them why they chose us. The Brand Design team is responsible for making sure that experience is consistent, compelling, and unmistakably Givebutter across every channel. Our brand is intentionally joyful, human, and energetic — because generosity should feel that way. As we grow, every detail of how the brand shows up matters. We’re looking for designers who think big about where the brand can go, while caring deeply about the craft and systems that make it work day-to-day.

This is a craft-forward individual contributor role with real breadth. You'll execute our brand creative vision across marketing, campaigns, web, print, and events while also partnering with Product Design to bring brand expression into the product experience. You’ll ensure the brand shows up clearly and consistently everywhere it lives, creating stronger brand equity, recognition, and love for Givebutter. You'll help maintain and evolve our brand systems as we grow, and contribute to raising the quality bar across everything we ship. We're looking for someone who cares deeply about the details, understands strong typography and composition, can move quickly without sacrificing quality, works well within a system without being limited by it, collaborates proactively with other teams, and understands that great brand design shows up everywhere. This role reports to the Creative Director.

*Please note, we're currently only considering candidates based in NYC for this role.
