Full job description

We are looking for candidates who thrive in this type of environment. Role

Overview: We're building a more capable, more automated fundraising operation, especially around how we communicate intelligently with hundreds of potential major donors - and we're looking for someone to lead that build. The Senior Fundraising Systems Manager | Fundraising Systems Director will own how our Development team's data and workflows actually work: designing and building the systems (potentially including new tools, alongside or in place of parts of our current CRM), and standing up automations - like briefing generation and research support - that let a lean team punch above its weight.

This role is best suited for a technically savvy, scrappy, hands-on generalist who has built their own systems before, is genuinely excited getting their hands dirty to see what new technology can do for a small team's workflow raising tens of millions of dollars. Deep prior experience with our specific CRM (EveryAction) is not required - what matters is the ability to learn a complex, idiosyncratic setup quickly and see the cleaner system underneath it.

This role is fully remote.

Responsibilities - Systems Strategy & Architecture - Understand our donor landscape to own the roadmap for what's most needed in our donor data and CRM systems, including evaluating and building new tools that extend or could eventually replace parts of our current setup. - Design and manage the taxonomy of tags, custom data points, etc. that will allow us to effectively and relationally engage the donors that matter most to our impact - Design the underlying automations, agents, forms, views, and workflows that let the team self-serve. - Understand and preserve compliance requirements built into our current CRM setup when evaluating or building alternatives. - AI-Powered Workflow Automation - Build and maintain Claude-powered automations supporting day-to-day fundraising work (briefing generation, prospecting support, and similar). - Identify the next manual process worth automating, in partnership with the people doing that work today. - Hands-On Build & Implementation - Do the actual building - data wrangling, tool configuration, workflow fixes. - Translate evolving, sometimes-ambiguous needs from fundraising leadership into working systems. - Partner directly with front-line fundraisers (e.g., staff leading call time with internal principals and sending targeted emails) to understand how they actually work before building tools for them. - Cross-Team Enablement & Technical Partnership - Document systems and train the team on use. - Partner with the team on data hygiene and reporting. - Focus on improving how the team works, rather than running its day-to-day fundraising operations.

Requirements Our preferred candidate will have many of these characteristics and experience: - A track record of building your own data/CRM systems from scratch rather than only administering an existing CRM. - Genuine depth with AI tools (e.g., Claude or similar) and connectors (e.g., Zapier, API integrations) as a builder, not just a user: you've designed workflows or automations with them, not only used them for one-off tasks.

1+ year for Senior Manager; 2+ years for Director - A generalist, hands-on orientation: equally comfortable digging into messy data as designing the system that fixes it. - Major donor fundraising experience that enables you to understand fundraising language and translate it into tools and processes (e.g., Donor Advisor, cultivation pipeline).

3-5 years for Senior Manager, 5+ years for Director - Demonstrated ability to quickly learn a complex, non-standard internal process and identify how to systematize it. Our preferred candidate may have some of these characteristics and experience: - Direct experience with EveryAction or a comparable political/nonprofit CRM (not required - we care more about systems-building instinct than tool-specific history). - Experience in progressive advocacy, electoral, or aligned mission spaces. - Experience mentoring, or eventually managing, junior teammates as the systems function grows.

Benefits Compensation and

Benefits - Your compensation package will include: - Annual salary of $100,000-$110,000 (level 5) for Senior Fundraising Systems Manager, or $110,000-$120,000 (level 6) for Fundraising Systems Director, based on experience, as part of a transparent salary structure with clear levels of advancement. - A geographic COLA based on employee location. - A work-life stipend of $700/month pre-tax dollars to support employees during our highest intensity work period (starting August 1, prorated for partial months). - Excellent health, dental, and vision benefits, 401(k) matching, and unlimited Paid Time Off (vacation time is limited during Election Sprint, August 24-November 3). - Remote-first culture with teammates across the country - This position includes possible on-call

requirements - This position is not eligible for the collective bargaining unit. We're looking for candidates with a wide range of skills and experience. If you're excited about the job, even if you don't match all the characteristics, we encourage you to apply.

Applications submitted by July 17th will be given priority. The application process includes an exercise and 3 interviews. Due to the nature of our work, the process is moving quickly, and we hope candidates will start by mid-to-late August.
