The Coalition pledges to help every school in the nation fulfill its historic and vital civic mission, and to ensure that every young person acquires the civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for informed and authentic civic participation.

About the role - Development Coordinator

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the position works with all members of the development department to make sure iCivics has the funds to conduct its efforts to expand civics education to even more students nationwide. 

You are detail-oriented and driven by curiosity, often finding flow when you’re faced with challenges that require you to creatively bring organization to disorder. Your attention to detail also gives way to high emotional EQ as you pick up on the small things, knowing that it goes a long way to be personable and communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
Your responsibilities will include:

  • Database and Gift Management:
    • Updating donor records, logging donations, and maintaining data integrity in our CRM; 
    • Serving as organization-wide support for our CRM, including handling questions from key users across teams and liaising with vendor customer service as needed; 
    • Managing our donor acknowledgment processes, including the timely acknowledgment of all gifts;
    • Liaising with the finance team to ensure efficient and accurate income processing; and
    • Liaising with IT and other teams as needed to solve problems and improve efficiencies. 
  • Fundraising Communications and Research:
    • Maintain and update a fundraising library of marketing and communications materials, such as brochures, one-pagers, and presentations;
    • Ensure all online fundraising messaging is updated regularly; 
    • Research prospective funders and prepare donor profiles for senior staff as required;
    • Support ad hoc research and content development for fundraising proposals and other collateral as needed; and 
    • Edit and proofread materials.
  • Administrative:
    • Provide logistical and administrative support for stewardship activities, including small events, mailings, and meetings
    • Supporting our grant writing and donor outreach efforts through deadline tracking and relevant document management;
    • Assisting with logistical planning for small, periodic events; 
    • Notetaking during regular team meetings; and
    • Handling office and mailing needs (e.g. mailing donor thank you packages, managing office inventory). 

Who you are:

  • Meticulous. You’re highly organized, with an eye for details, and excellent proofreading skills.
  • An Effective Writer. You write well and take pride in your ability to do so, especially when given the opportunity to communicate an idea, topic, or vision that you are passionate about.
  • Resourceful and Adaptable. You’re at ease with ambiguity and rapid change. You possess a positive attitude and identify creative solutions to obstacles. You can juggle many important responsibilities at once and you’re rigorous about prioritizing.
  • Self-motivated. You proactively take the initiative, identifying problems and opportunities across your portfolio, developing recommendations, and taking action on those recommendations.
  • A Humble Teammate. Nothing is beneath or above you. You are quick to always lend a hand or two! You are able to earn influence without authority and naturally seek to support both small projects or large strategic goals.

What You'll Need 

  • 1-3 years of professional experience (we are background agnostic and are excited by candidates with unique and different work histories; with that, someone with an interest in marketing and/or communications would probably perform well in this role).
  • Ability to handle multiple deadlines and complete assignments with minimal supervision in a fast-paced workplace
  • Impeccable organization; you are highly detail-oriented, and someone who gets a real sense of satisfaction from producing polished work and managing smooth and orderly processes.
  • A commitment to diversity and inclusion. You're always asking: "whose voice is not at the table?" You deeply value creating a workplace that is supportive of difference.

Why this role is compelling
A successful candidate will develop and grow a broad set of professional skills, honing them to the level of excellence in a demanding and fast-paced environment. You will work with, learn from, and grow alongside a high-performing and diverse team in which everyone is committed to the development of themselves and others.

This role is intended to serve as a professional development path for you. There is potential for the role to evolve within two to three years based on the particular strengths that you bring to the team, making this an invaluable opportunity to expand your career.

Compensation and Location
iCivics provides a comprehensive benefits package, including generous health insurance for individuals and competitive rates for families/dependents, generous time off, IRA match, family leave, and a collegial environment that supports professional development and wellness. 

Compensation for this role is $55K. iCivics’ headquarters is located in Cambridge, MA, although the organization is primarily remote. Ideally, the candidate will reside in the greater Boston area, however, it is not required.
