Account Manager (US)

About Us

FreeWill is an award-winning, social-good startup that has partnered with 2,400+ nonprofits who support our mission while generating $14B in gift commitments for nonprofits 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. We partner with nonprofits of all sizes to diversify fundraising across individual and institutional giving, from legacy gifts and tax-smart donations to foundation, corporate, and government grants.

In the last 9 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. We were named a "Most Loved Workplace" by both Newsweek and Best Practice Institute and the2025 Most Loved Workplaces® for Diversity by the Best Practice Institute. In 2026, we were named as one of Forbes' Best Startup Employers.
