Goodera enables end-to-end employee engagement programs, with a core focus on corporate volunteering. We help organizations design and deliver meaningful experiences that drive both employee engagement and social impact.

What we do:

• End-to-end program management: Design and execute corporate volunteering initiatives from concept to completion

• Curated opportunities: Match organizations with the right experiences from our global catalog of volunteering activities

• Program planning & participation: Support timelines, campaigns, and communications to drive employee registrations

• Hosted experiences: Deliver engaging, high-quality sessions led by trained Goodera hosts who guide, orient, and contextualize each experience

• Impact measurement: Track, measure, and communicate both employee engagement and social impact outcomes

As we continue to grow, Goodera is exploring avenues of expanding beyond volunteering into a broader suite of employee engagement offerings including team building, culture-building, and purpose-driven experiences. 

Role Overview

Every Goodera event starts with an activity: something a group of volunteers (10 to 100+ volunteers) can build, pack, or create in 90 minutes that a nonprofit actually needs. You will invent those activities.

You'll design new volunteering activities and kits in your cause area, refine the ones we already run, and work with nonprofits and subject-matter experts so each one does real good. The best of them become blockbusters delivered thousands of times a year.

Key Responsibilities

• Activity & Kit Development

  • Design new activities (kits, platform enabled, digital) in your cause area, from concept to pilot-ready prototype

  • Refine existing activities to improve engagement, impact, cost, and ease of delivery

  • Make activities work across formats where possible: in-office, kiosk, self-led box, and virtual

• Impact & Expertise

  • Work with domain experts through the Nonprofit team, our US-based Subject Matter Expert, and consultants to make sure each activity meets a real need

  • Validate what beneficiaries receive (age-appropriateness, accessibility, safety, cultural fit)

  • Write the impact story for each activity: who it helps and how

• Partnerships & Sourcing

  • Build relationships with vendors, makers, and community organisations who can supply materials or co-create activities

  • Work with Logistics on sourcing, costing, and kit assembly constraints

• Pilot to Blockbuster

  • Move each activity through the Activity Development Pipeline: concept → design → pilot → blockbuster

  • Run pilots, gather volunteer and nonprofit feedback, and iterate against success criteria

  • Hand finished activities to Experience Designers and the Category team with complete specs, instructions, and material lists

About you

• 2-3 years designing games, toys, educational kits, learning experiences, or activity-based products (e.g. PlayShifu-type products, curriculum design, maker kits)

• A portfolio of things you designed that people used with their hands or experienced

• Understanding of, or genuine interest in, your focus area: social-emotional wellbeing, or STEAM and education

• Comfortable with prototyping, materials, vendors, and costing

• Collaborative: you take expert input well and turn it into something fun

• Curious and fast: you prototype before you perfect
