Overview

We're looking for someone who sees data not as spreadsheets, but as stories waiting to be told.

This role sits at the intersection of donor relations, database management, and creative communication. You'll maintain the systems that power our fundraising efforts, translate giving patterns into actionable insights, and help our team understand what the numbers actually mean. If you're curious about what's possible when you combine the right data with the right questions—and you can explain your findings to people who aren't data people—we want to hear from you.
