Client Success Manager

Meet Benevity

Benevity’s award-winning corporate purpose software empowers companies and their people to take social action on the issues and causes they care about.

Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking and positive actions, we help 650+ clients (and counting!) build better cultures and engage their employees and customers to create greater social and business impact.

We’re also one of the first B-Corps in Canada, meaning we’re as committed to purpose as we are to profits.

Benevity’s Client Success Manager (CSM) will guide clients to achieve desired outcomes, maximize their value, and drive growth with Benevity’s product suite.

The CSM is responsible for bringing Benevity’s best ideas, innovations, and capabilities to clients, so they realize greater impact and value.

This individual should be comfortable interacting with C-suite level executives, as well as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program administrative staff, backed by a strong understanding of their program goals & objectives.

A Client Success Manager drives client program impact and acts as a catalyst to build strong and long-lasting relationships with our clients, turning them into evangelists and advocates (Raving Fans of Benevity
