Full Job Description
The Opportunity

This is a front-line leadership role where you will:
  • Lead a team that drives execution: Build and develop a team of project managers responsible for delivering high-quality fundraising programs for political and nonprofit organizations across the country.
  • Improve systems that matter: Evaluate and optimize workflows, vendor relationships, quality-control processes, and operational systems to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and improve results.
  • Drive testing and innovation: Own the pursuit of what's next. Identify opportunities to test new mail formats, AI integrations, workflow improvements, and vendor partnerships that enhance performance, create competitive advantages, and drive stronger fundraising outcomes.
  • Operate alongside top-tier talent: Collaborate with leaders across account management, creative, audience-building, data, and accounting to execute programs that directly impact fundraising performance.
  • Solve complex challenges across the agency: No two days are the same. You'll be expected to think critically, make decisions, remove obstacles, and help the organization scale.
