About GivenGain

GivenGain is a global nonprofit technology platform powering fundraising for good across 100+ countries. For over two decades, weโ€™ve helped individuals, charities, and event partners unlock generosity at scale, removing barriers and enabling impact worldwide.

We are not driven by profit, but by purpose. Everything we build is in service of one mission:
One World. Zero Barriers.

From major global marathons to grassroots community campaigns, GivenGain sits at the centre of some of the most meaningful fundraising moments happening around the world today.
Why This Role Matters

This is not a traditional social media role.

This is an opportunity to help redefine how a global platform shows up in the world. At a moment of significant growth, we are investing in social media as a core driver of brand awareness, community engagement, storytelling, and fundraising impact.

You will play a key role in transforming GivenGain โ€™s social presence into a dynamic, creator-informed, community-powered ecosystem that inspires action and amplifies impact globally, while also driving measurable performance through both organic and paid social initiatives.
The Role

We are looking for a creator-focused, social-first marketer and content builder to help evolve and execute our global social media presence.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. You will help shape direction while owning day-to-day content creation, publishing, community engagement, paid campaigns, and performance optimisation.

You will report directly to Christopher Gaube, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), based in New York, USA, and work closely with the Global Marketing Manager to bring campaigns and storytelling to life across platforms.

You will own both organic and paid social efforts, with responsibility for budget management, performance tracking, and ongoing optimisation across channels.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to take ownership, build something meaningful, and grow into a larger leadership role over time.
