About The Position

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 ensuring that experience is consistent, compelling, and unmistakably Givebutter across every channel and touchpoint. 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. As a Senior Brand Designer, you’ll play a key role in shaping how our brand shows up across the company and beyond for years to come. You will help translate brand strategy and narrative into clear design direction, establishing visual benchmarks that guide work across teams, campaigns, and product experiences. You’ll lead complex brand initiatives across marketing, product, and partnerships while helping refine and strengthen our brand system as we scale. This role blends hands-on design craft with brand leadership amidst a period of major brand growth. You’ll help define how the brand evolves as we scale — identifying opportunities to strengthen the system, translating strategy into creative direction, and guiding cross-functional partners toward strong, strategic creative outcomes across campaigns, product experiences, and partnerships. We’re looking for a Senior Designer who brings both taste and clarity — someone who can elevate the work, navigate ambiguity, and help others produce stronger design through collaboration, systems thinking, and thoughtful feedback. This role is for someone who cares deeply about the details while also thinking conceptually about the bigger picture of the brand. You proactively improve systems for the sake of the team and the craft, collaborate humbly, communicate your thinking clearly, and understand that great brand design is intentional, strategic, and consistent. You’re comfortable zooming out to think about the long-term direction of the brand while still zooming in to craft the details that make it exceptional. This is an opportunity to help shape a brand at a pivotal moment — contributing to work that will define how Givebutter shows up as we grow. This role reports directly to the Creative Director.
