Job description

Overview

At MissionWired, we help our partners create revolutionary fundraising strategies that advance their mission, change our country, and have a positive impact on the world.

MissionWired is the only wholly integrated direct marketing agency for nonprofits and Democratic organizations. We help our partners tell big, ambitious stories that invite their supporters into communities to raise mission-changing revenue. Our results are unrivaled, having converted more than $4.5 billion in donations to the world’s most trusted philanthropies and groundbreaking campaigns. We do it over email and SMS, in the mail, across social media, everywhere. We don’t think in terms of channels; we’re single-minded in pursuit of your success.

We’re innovative, progress-obsessed, do-gooders who care deeply about social change and continuing to push the limits on what we can accomplish together. We’ve brought strategies to life for nonprofit organizations working around the world, including Sandy Hook Promise, Human Rights Watch, The Humane Society of the U.S., Save the Children, and Friends of the Earth. Over the years, we have worked with various progressive political organizations and believe that each election cycle is an opportunity for us to support organizations across the country and elect Democrats to legislative bodies up and down the ballot.

We’re an equal-opportunity employer and take seriously our commitment to equality and equity. Our efforts to be inclusive and create opportunity don’t end when someone joins us – they begin.

We’ve set our sights on changing the world through our work and with our clients, and representation is at the foundation of what we do. We know that diversity of thought and background makes us stronger. That’s why we’re committed to building and maintaining a diverse community.

Every new team member broadens our perspective and allows us to think bigger. We’ll be at our best when people from underrepresented communities and people with a range of perspectives and lived experiences want to come, stay, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

• Building and maintaining relationships with data services companies and list and data vendors to generate donor lists;
• Assisting internal teams with statistical analysis to determine the performance of direct mail campaigns;
• Collaborating on the development of creative donor list strategies;
• Ability to contribute to strategic thinking and develop understanding of how merge intelligence can impact the records kept; and
• Assisting in the development of overall client fundraising plans and goals.

Must-have qualifications

• 2-3 years experience with direct mail statistics and/or nonprofit fundraising strategies;
• Comfort owning client correspondence and providing precise written instructions to multiple stakeholders, including data services companies and vendors;
• Experience analyzing multiple sets of data;

• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills;
• Experience with Excel, including pivot tables and lookups;
