Job description

The YMCA of Greater Birmingham is looking for a sharp, self-directed professional to join our Financial Development team. You'll be the operational backbone of the department, managing grant reporting, tracking revenue, maintaining data integrity in our CRM, and ensuring everything behind the scenes runs smoothly. This is primarily a desk-based role that requires deep focus and strong organizational instincts, but you'll also occasionally interface with our board and donors, so professional communication matters too.

Responsibilities

• Reporting & Revenue Tracking
• CRM & Data Integrity
• Administrative & Stewardship Support

You might be a great fit if you...

• Take initiative when given a task, you figure out what you need, find the information, ask the right questions, and get it done without constant direction.
• Thrive in a systems-driven environment; clean data, organized files, and reliable processes are genuinely satisfying to you.
• Are comfortable working with spreadsheets, dashboards, and fundraising databases for most of your day.
• Can manage multiple competing deadlines without losing track or letting things fall through the cracks.
• Communicate clearly and professionally whether you're emailing a program director, presenting data to a committee, or interacting with a donor.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion and understand why confidentiality matters in a fundraising environment.
• Believe in the mission of the Y and want your work to support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
