At BBYO, we're motivated by our mission, inspiring us to reimagine work to make it fun, flexible, and fulfilling. We are looking for a passionate Philanthropic Operations Associate to join our team and make a difference.
The Philanthropic Operations Associate will help ensure the effective operation of our donor development efforts. Working closely with colleagues across the Philanthropic Engagement team, BBYO's fundraising team, this early-career role calls for strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. By supporting both operational and donor-facing activities, the Philanthropic Operations Associate plays an important role in helping the team reach its fundraising goals and build lasting relationships with BBYO's supporters.
In this role, you'll help maintain the systems, data, and operational processes that support BBYO's fundraising program. Day to day, that means helping keep Salesforce and related fundraising systems running smoothly, maintaining accurate donor and fundraising data, supporting efficient gift and grant processing, and helping produce the reports that inform the team's work.
We're looking for someone with some experience with donor and database operations who enjoys working with data and keeping it clean, usable, and in line with organizational and legal standards.

- Track donor engagement and ensure data integrity for reporting, segmentation, and communications.
- Create and send Acknowledgement letters, donation tax receipts, invoices, pledge reminders, collection follow-ups, and other donor deliverables.
- Track campaign progress, sponsorships, pledges, and outstanding payments and assist with preparing and submitting required reports for grants, donations, and fundraising activities.
- Work closely with the Finance team to ensure proper reconciliation of all revenue and cash flow, and support financial audits.
- Support the Direct Marketing campaign and other fundraising campaigns, helping set up outreach and online donation pages, pulling audiences for marketing segmentation, and providing reporting on campaign results.
- Coordinate with our external screening vendor to submit donor lists for bulk wealth screening, and load the results back into Salesforce.
- Monitor the donation and gift-processing inboxes and ensure emails are responded to in a timely manner, troubleshooting donor concerns and donor support inquiries and following up on internal and external requests as needed.
- Provide training and ongoing support to fundraising staff on Salesforce functions as needed.
- Maintain and update documentation of all fundraising operational procedures and processes.
- Provide general administrative support to the Philanthropic Engagement team.
- Supervise the Philanthropic Engagement operations intern, when one is on the team.
- Other duties as assigned.
ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR MAKING A LASTING IMPACT:
- 1–2 years of experience with CRM systems such as Salesforce, prospecting platforms including iWave, and computer software, particularly Excel. Donor database experience preferred.
- Bachelor's degree preferred.
- Some experience in development and fundraising preferred
