Activity Designer

Role overview

Activity Designer at Goodera

You will invent those activities.

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'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.

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
