Job description

Work for America is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to solve the government staffing crisis by helping state and local governments recruit, hire, and inspire the people they need to deliver for their communities. We believe that public service should be a desirable, accessible, and stable career path for Americans from all walks of life.

From launching Civic Match , a national platform connecting mission-driven talent with government jobs, to helping cities modernize hiring systems and tell a more compelling story about public sector work, Work for America is making it easier for great people to serve, and for communities to thrive. Our work has been recognized by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and TIME for its innovative approach to rebuilding the public workforce. Read more here .

Work for America operates with a small, lean team. We are adopting HubSpot as our relationship source-of-truth to reduce manual work and fragmented tools, and to improve data quality, reporting, and communications.

Work for America is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to serve as our HubSpot Implementation Specialist. We are looking for a partner who has led and executed HubSpot implementation at a growing organization: someone who can design and implement a system simple enough for our team to run and maintain without ongoing technical support. We're looking for someone who can bring non-profit CRM best-practice expertise and strong experience with technical implementation to answer "how" when we supply the "what," "why," and "for whom."

The selected consultant will play a key role in ensuring HubSpot is set up as a clean, sustainable relationship management system, setting up Work for America's team to use it confidently once the engagement ends.

This is a fractional role where someone will be expected to collaborate closely with teammates across the organization. As such, we are seeking an individual contributor for this role. Solo practitioners, individuals operating through an LLC, and firms may all apply, but proposals should identify the specific person who will perform the work.
