Job Description

Senior Fundraising Systems Manager – Director, Major Donor

Movement Labs

• Understand our donor landscape to own the roadmap for what’s most needed in our donor data and CRM systems, including evaluating and building new tools that extend or could eventually replace parts of our current setup. • Design and manage the taxonomy of tags, custom data points, etc. that will allow us to effectively and relationally engage the donors that matter most to our impact • Design the underlying automations, agents, forms, views, and workflows that let the team self-serve. • Understand and preserve compliance requirements built into our current CRM setup when evaluating or building alternatives. • Build and maintain Claude-powered automations supporting day-to-day fundraising work (briefing generation, prospecting support, and similar). • Identify the next manual process worth automating, in partnership with the people doing that work today. • Do the actual building - data wrangling, tool configuration, workflow fixes. • Translate evolving, sometimes-ambiguous needs from fundraising leadership into working systems. • Partner directly with front-line fundraisers (e.g., staff leading call time with internal principals and sending targeted emails) to understand how they actually work before building tools for them. • Document systems and train the team on use. • Partner with the team on data hygiene and reporting. • Focus on improving how the team works, rather than running its day-to-day fundraising operations.

Job Requirements

  • A track record of building your own data/CRM systems from scratch rather than only administering an existing CRM.
  • Genuine depth with AI tools (e.g., Claude or similar) and connectors (e.g., Zapier, API integrations) as a builder, not just a user: you’ve designed workflows or automations with them, not only used them for one-off tasks. 1+ year for Senior Manager; 2+ years for Director
  • A generalist, hands-on orientation: equally comfortable digging into messy data as designing the system that fixes it.
  • Major donor fundraising experience that enables you to understand fundraising language and translate it into tools and processes (e.g., Donor Advisor, cultivation pipeline). 3-5 years for Senior Manager, 5+ years for Director
  • Demonstrated ability to quickly learn a complex, non-standard internal process and identify how to systematize it.
  • Direct experience with EveryAction or a comparable political/nonprofit CRM (not required - we care more about systems-building instinct than tool-specific history).
  • Experience in progressive advocacy, electoral, or aligned mission spaces.
  • Experience mentoring, or eventually managing, junior teammates as the systems function grows.

Benefits

  • Excellent health, dental, and vision benefits
  • 401(k) matching
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (vacation time is limited during Election Sprint, August 24-November 3)
  • Remote‑first culture with teammates across the country
  • Possible on-call requirements

Director21 hours ago
Full TimeRemoteTeam 201-500Since 2024H1B No Sponsor

Role Description We're looking for a Director, Vendor Management to own Nscale's entire post-RFS operational vendor ecosystem — every operational service vendor and platform vendor (Jira, ServiceNow, Sunbird DCIM, Linear/Procore, Salesforce) that keeps the business running. - You'll own the full commercial relationship for every vendor in scope: strategy, contracts, negotiations, SLA governance, and QBRs. - You'll partner closely with our Director, Finance & Business Intelligence to make sure platform performance and reporting needs stay aligned. - Construction supply chain is managed cross-functionally with the construction organization — this role does not own that process, but does coordinate on post-handover vendor needs. What You'll be Doing: - Own end-to-end vendor strategy for all post-RFS operational service vendors, platform vendors, and facilities management/preventative maintenance contracts that power Nscale's business operations. - Develop and maintain a tiered vendor classification system aligned to criticality, spend, and vendor type. - Establish SLAs, KPIs, and escalation protocols across all operational service and platform vendors. - Own monthly and quarterly vendor performance reviews, holding every service and platform partner accountable to commitments. - Resolve vendor performance failures and escalate contractual breaches with recommended remedies. - Own the strategic relationship with Salute, including contract oversight, performance reviews, and escalation management. - Own all commercial relationships, contract negotiations, renewals, and QBRs for platform vendors (Jira, ServiceNow, Sunbird DCIM, Linear/Procore, Salesforce) and Facilities Management/Preventative Maintenance vendors — you're the primary commercial point of contact for every platform and service agreement. - Partner with Director, Finance & Business Intelligence to ensure contracts and SLAs reflect the data access, integration, and configuration needs Finance BI depends on. - Work cross-functionally with the construction supply chain organization on post-handover construction vendor needs, providing operational expertise without owning procurement. - Manage and develop two Senior Managers — Vendor Operations and Vendor Contracts. Qualifications - You have 10+ years in vendor management, procurement, or operations, ideally in infrastructure, datacenter, or tech. - You've managed diverse vendor portfolios spanning both operational services and software/platform vendors. - You bring strong contract negotiation skills and legal-commercial fluency, and work effectively with Legal and Finance. - You have a track record of managing and developing a team across multiple vendor categories. - You're familiar with procurement and vendor management systems, and comfortable with SaaS and platform vendor commercial structures. - Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field. Requirements - Salute is engaged and active, and SLA governance needs a dedicated owner before performance issues accumulate. - Our platform vendor agreements (Jira, ServiceNow, Sunbird DCIM, Linear/Procore, Salesforce) require active commercial governance that our Sr. Director can no longer absorb alongside process leadership. - Contract renewals, renegotiations, and compliance tracking across a multi-vendor portfolio need full-time, Director-level ownership — and the two Senior Manager roles that will sit under this position can't be effectively led without a Director in seat first. Benefits - Highly competitive package (base + equity) with reviews every 12 months. - Join the fastest-growing tech startup — your chance to push boundaries, collaborate with brilliant minds, and make your mark on cutting-edge AI. - Expect a dynamic progression plan tailored to your ambitions. Grow by trying new things, leading, challenging the status quo, and owning your impact, always with our full support. - Human-First Flexibility: we treat you as humans first.
