Nonprofit Fundraising Software Partnership Success Specialist (Entry Level)
In this role you’ll be in daily contact with leading nonprofit technology and consulting companies from across the nation to help thousands of nonprofits use our fundraising software.
The Position:
This is the perfect role for someone who has recently graduated or is early in their career. We’re looking to hire candidates who have 0-3 years experience, an interest in the nonprofit sector, and a desire to build and maintain relationships with a wide variety of people and companies.
You’ll be in daily contact with leading nonprofit technology and consulting companies from across the nation and the world. On any given day, you could speak with the CEO of a fast-paced philanthropic startup, a senior developer from the largest social good technology firm in the world, and the marketing content coordinator from a social fundraising platform processing billions of dollars in donations every year — all before lunch!
As a Partnership Success Specialist, your responsibility is to assist in the building and maintenance of the most important relationships our nonprofit clients rely on to keep their technology solutions up and running.
The ideal candidate is excited to represent themselves and Double the Donation to external parties, whether that means presenting a product demo to a team of engineers or coordinating a webinar with an invitee list in the tens of thousands. The best candidates are fantastic written and verbal communicators, quick learners, and skilled researchers.
In this role, you will:
- Spend large portions of your day talking to people in a wide range of positions at nonprofit technology companies
- Coordinate technical, marketing, and commercial conversations and produce supporting materials
- Prioritize a large amount of possible daily tasks down to a list of essential tasks
- Represent yourself and the company over the phone, in emails, and sometimes in person
- Negotiate contracts and close deals
As a small growing business, there are a few traits unique to our business that individuals should consider before applying.
- You must love the idea of giving back to the community and nonprofits. There are thousands of jobs. If being involved in the success of nonprofits is something you’re truly passionate about, this could be a great role.
- You must be extremely comfortable with change. As a small growing company, decisions can be made over a weekend and fully implemented by early the next week. Whether that’s new systems, new processes, or new approaches, we look for individuals who can adapt and thrive.
- You must believe that the best contributors should get better rewards. As a company, we believe in paying people based on the value they generate at the business. We have situations where two people doing the same work can have 10x times difference in their impact, and in their rewards. For example, there have been situations where one person received a compensation increase of $1,000, and another working in the same area received $10,000. This isn’t the norm, but the range of rewards at almost any level can easily vary by 100% to 300%, and even then there is plenty of room for outliers. It’s a natural result of having greater impact, and a compensation system that recognizes that impact.
- You must be willing to disagree and commit. As a growing business, there will be lots of decisions that get made and changes that occur during your time at the company. Some of which you’ll agree with and some you won’t, we strongly believe that the best team members have the ability to disagree and commit (i.e., going with a decision after it has been made regardless of whether or not you agree).
- You must believe the status quo is unacceptable. As a growing company and as individuals, we believe the status quo is unacceptable. Everyone should be relentless in striving to be the best version of themselves and figure out ways to create more value at the company and grow professionally. The question should always be “How can I be better” rather than “How can expectations be adjusted”.
