2 weeks ago


Vancouver, Canada YWCA Metro Vancouver Full time

Job DescriptionThe Database Specialist trains, coaches and assists the Fund Development team with one-to-one support on their technical skills use of the database (Raiser’s Edge NXT) and the maintenance of their donor records (clean data) as well as researching and implementing technology that will enhance the team’s productivity. The position supports the Manager, Fund Development Systems and Digital Philanthropy with the management of the database and mining donor data for the Fund Development team. The position is also responsible for expanding our digital fundraising by developing our peer-to-peer fundraising portfolio and as a member of the Fund Development Operations team also processes donations.

**You**:
You are a Raiser’s Edge specialist who takes responsibility for the integrity of the donor database. Your attention to detail and intrigue with data sparks your curiosity in mining data that will assist your colleagues to steward strong donor relationships. You enjoy technology and are continuously looking for opportunities that could improve the team’s tools and technology to support and improve: fund raising, gift processing, donor stewardship and prospecting.

Your close relationship with our donor data gives you a unique position to lead the Peer-to-Peer Giving portfolio. Working collaboratively with the Manager Marketing Communications and Manager Fund Development Systems and Digital Philanthropy, you will develop strategically crafted and engaging campaigns.

You have experience working with the Raiser’s Edge NXT database and are comfortable teaching and supporting others. You enjoy working in a collaborative environment where you can contribute towards the strategy for the use of Raiser’s Edge NXT architecture and the acquisition of additional technology.

**Us**:
We are a large and closely connected fund development team of 20 people. We each work independently on our responsibilities while working collaboratively as a team to meet our annual revenue targets. Most of the team has been with the YWCA for 5+ years, we share a love of both travel and food and we can often be heard laughing.

We are a cooperative team that pulls together whenever and however is needed. You will be asked both for your opinion and to lend a hand on strategy and tasks that are outside of your responsibilities. We are in the early stages of unpacking our individual and team power and privilege and exploring how IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity and ability) as well as Reconciliation can be more integrated into how we operate each day.
