About the role: 

You will collaborate with partner organizations (we work with approx. 500 workplaces in the Edmonton region that run United Way campaigns) to develop online fundraising campaigns and implement fundraising strategies for online giving.  This work includes customizing some digital content (using HTML), providing advice on online campaign best practices and ensuring a technically ready launch.  You will develop and maintain campaign tracking tools, recommend strategies to mitigate risk and monitor and report on results.  Other exciting areas of this role include; updating digital content provided by our marketing team, implement and support digital engagement software, setting up and supporting peer to peer fund raising sites, managing an online store, implementing and supporting new digital fundraising apps, delivering digital fundraising software training (due to Covid-19, this will be mostly in a digital environment) and providing help desk support for digital fundraising tools (to organizations, donors and United Way staff). 

About you: 

You equally enjoy working with people and managing the technical side of things.  It’s important to us that you understand the power of relationships especially as it relates to communicating technical issues to non-technical stakeholders. You have a keen ability to use your critical thinking skills to analyze and interpret information to make decisions, make recommendations and to solve problems. You know how to keep yourself well-organized, create action plans to get things done, and have an eye for details. You take responsibility and hold yourself accountable whatever the action or task may be.  You also strongly understand the value of providing an exceptional customer experience and you keep up with the on-going changes to technology.  This position may include supervising two seasonal temporary staff in the future.

We currently offer the option to work our professional office environment (with COVID-19 procedures) or remotely, therefore a remote workspace and secure Wi-Fi connection is required.     

A valid driver’s license and vehicle are required as travel may be involved within Edmonton and surrounding area.
