We are looking for a Development Co-ordinator to join our Individual Giving team in our Washington D.C. office.
About Global Witness
Global Witness is ambitious. Our campaigns aim to create a real step change in addressing some of the underlying causes of climate breakdown. We want governments and business to put the interests of people and planet above the pursuit of profit.
We bring our experience of establishing groundbreaking and impactful campaigns on issues that people told us again and again would not be possible to change. Along with our investigative, advocacy and communications skills, we also bring determination, persistence and resolve.
About the role
As the Development Co-ordinator, you’ll work closely with the Head of Individual Giving to identify, engage and steward donors, primarily from the US and Canada. You’ll work across all Global Witness’ campaigning areas, collaborating with colleagues to create tailored and persuasive digital appeals to get new and existing donors excited about funding our work. You’ll also develop excellent internal and external relationships, manage your own donor portfolio, implement a moves management system, and support a donor events program.
About you
You’ll bring experience in managing donor cultivation and stewarding systems and managing a prospect pipeline. You’re a skilled communicator with a proven ability to identify and cultivate donor relationships and meet your own income targets. Finally, you’ll enjoy collaborating with others to achieve shared goals.
