Oversee the gift acknowledgment process, ensuring minimal turnaround time. Work closely with the Operations team to ensure accurate recording and timely reconciliation of all gifts, especially during the financial audit process. Independently seek opportunities to build and improve on Protect Democracy’s development operations by closely examining needs, assessing possible solutions, and making concise recommendations.

The ideal candidate will bring:

Passion for protecting and improving our democracy. Facility with data management and a drive to innovate technical systems.
