Fundraising Development Specialist

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the Fundraising Development Specialist provides essential administrative and strategic assistance to TechBridge's fundraising and development team. Key responsibilities encompass research, data analysis, and administrative support aimed at helping the team meet its annual and quarterly revenue targets and strategic objectives. This role includes managing sponsorship relations, communications, sponsor database oversight, and grants administration for the Fundraising & Development team. The focus is on sustaining and enhancing existing revenue streams and nurturing relationships.

This position requires handling confidential information and, at times, engaging with executives and high-net-worth individuals. A high degree of discretion and professionalism is necessary. The Fundraising Development Specialist must possess the interpersonal skills needed to effectively engage, collaborate, and communicate with donors, sponsors, and colleagues across all organizational levels and external partners while maintaining composure, diplomacy, and tact.

Equally important are skills in data management, technology, marketing, and communication. As a technology-driven nonprofit, TechBridge utilizes digital transformations to combat poverty. Therefore, the ideal candidate will have a strong grasp of data management and analytics, alongside the ability to quickly leverage technology for enhanced efficiency. Candidates should excel in managing administrative tasks, coordinating projects, and ensuring effective communication channels. Familiarity with tools such as Trello, AI, and possibly Salesforce is highly valued.

The ideal candidate is enthusiastic about contributing to a high-tech, fast-paced nonprofit organization that directly impacts vulnerable communities. We seek an energetic, friendly, and detail-oriented individual who is organized, efficient, and capable of managing multiple projects and deadlines. The Specialist should thrive in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment and possess the ability to rapidly learn new concepts.
