• Coordinate grant workflows to ensure timely approvals, accurate coding, and compliance with donor intent;
• Act as a central connector between Foundation and Hospital teams, ensuring alignment on deadlines, data, and processes;
• Maintain data integrity across systems supporting grant tracking, external grants, pledge payment schedules, coding adjustments, and reporting;
• Support the review of grant requests and related documentation for accuracy and completeness, especially during peak periods and vacations;
• Submit recurring grants for approval and process external grant payment requests, or support team members with this function;
• Coordinate meetings and training sessions with the Granting & Hospital Relations team and Hospital personnel, including scheduling, agendas, minutes, attendance, and technology requirements;
• Maintain team resources, including the team’s intranet page, process documentation, and related tools;
• Identify opportunities to streamline routine work, improve processes, and leverage tools, including AI-enabled solutions where appropriate; and
• Serve as backup to the Fund Analyst for creating fund designations in the Foundation’s CRM;
• Provide additional office and project support as required.

• Proficient with MS365, Word, and Outlook with a willingness to learn new computer programs;
• Intermediate Excel skills, including VLOOKUP, with comfort working with structured data and identifying inconsistencies or gaps;
• Knowledgeable of Blackbaud Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or other equivalent fundraising platforms and CRM database systems;
• Experience supporting multiple stakeholders with competing priorities, ideally in a complex or regulated environment;
• Proactive in identifying issues and following through independently in a deadline-driven environment;

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal;
• Strong sense of confidentiality and experience working with highly sensitive information;
