Role purpose:
ShelterBox is striving to provide outstanding information systems and technology that will maximize our fundraising and operational capability in this digital age. Within the next 18 months, ShelterBox will be implementing a new industry leading CRM in order to strengthen our global fundraising capability, enable advanced analytics and improve relationship management for the entire organisation. Until then, the current CRM must be maintained and developed to ensure continuity of business.
This exciting role will enable the CRM benefits to be realised by all supporters, stakeholders and ShelterBox beneficiaries. The CRM Officer is responsible for making sure the CRM meets the needs of the department/users, that data is onboarded successfully from source and the CRM health is maintained through the effective management of dupes and data cleansing activities.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with excellent data management and data import skills and the ability to work with technical and end user stakeholders. You will develop a thorough understanding of CRM data structures quickly and support the CRM Manager in introducing new taxonomies, categorisations and moving historical data into new agreed structures.
You will support the CRM Manager, as the day-to-day CRM owner, in the continual development of the system with focus on inbound data received from source. Part of this role will be testing new data imports, developing mapping templates and acting as data integration sign off on fundraising projects.
At times you will need to document new business processes working with colleagues in the wider Fundraising Operations (FROps) team to understand the full end to end data journey. You will quickly become a CRM superuser for Blackbaud CRM and, in due course, Microsoft Dynamics and with your analytical skills you will identify and manage data quality issues.
