Job Description
Digital Content and Marketing Specialist
REMOTE, USA
Work from Anywhere in the US (except CO, AL, or LA)
FreeWill is an award-winning, social-good startup that has partnered with 1000+ nonprofits who support our mission while raising more than $7B in bequests to charities since we were founded in 2017. We’ve been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Oprah’s magazine, and our co-CEOs have even been named to Town & Country’s “Top 50 Philanthropists” list.
All of this is because we’ve figured out how to make some powerful (but complicated!) ways to donate much easier and more accessible. Our products make things easier for the donors who want to change the world and for nonprofits doing heroic work around the planet.
In the last 5 years, we’ve grown from 5 people to 200+ (all smart, tenacious, and kind), and continue to grow. We’d love to have you be a part of this adventure.
