Non-Profit and Social Services

Position: Senior Development Operations Specialist

Status:    Full time, exempt

Reports to: Philanthropy Manager

Salary Range: $60,000 - $73,000 

 

The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy is seeking an individual with meticulous attention to detail and a passion for data management for the full-time position of Senior Development Operations Specialist. This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, young organization and help grow the community of supporters for a premier public space. 

 

The Conservancy’s seven-member Development team currently raises ~$2.5M a year for the park’s operating and capital budgets. Through research and data management, the Development Operations Specialist will play a key role in our fundraising success, which will enable the organization to expand programs, deepen community partnerships, and undertake major capital improvements. 

 

Reporting to and collaborating with the Philanthropy Manager who manages the annual fund, the Senior Development Operations Specialist will ensure donor data integrity and organization; lead efforts to identify prospective donors, as well as current donors who might deepen their support; and ensure consistency of financial records with colleagues in Finance and Administration. This is an excellent opportunity for a data specialist interested in ownership over the operations of a CRM, and offers an opportunity to make fundraising strategy recommendations based on data analysis.

The Greenway Conservancy is committed to providing a park environment that is welcoming to racially, culturally, and economically diverse residents and visitors. You can read more about our mission, vision, and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion on our website.

Donor Acquisition and Retention

  • Lead the creation of donor acquisition lists using both Greenway event participant data and external resources. 

  • Track and analyze the results of acquisition campaigns and make strategy recommendations. 

  • Conduct research on new donors and analyze donor data to identify prospects for cultivation. Make strategic recommendations to the Philanthropy Manager and Senior Development Officer.

 

Development Operations

  • Prepare weekly and monthly reports on revenues and receivables, reconciling monthly, quarterly, and annually with the Finance and Administration Department.

  • Generate gift acknowledgements (text will be drafted by others on the Development team).

  • Contribute to the smooth execution of our major fundraising events, the Gala on The Greenway and the Glow in the Park young professionals event, by maintaining sponsor and guest information.

  • Support and attend additional donor cultivation and stewardship events as needed, typically 2-4 events a year. Roles may include tech management, guest check-in, or event set up/break down.

  • Manage all donation platform technologies, including Give Butter, Zapier, and others.

  • Coordinate with the printer and mailhouse to produce printed mailings including appeals, event invitations, and stewardship communications.

  • Monitor and coordinate responses to the development@rosekennedygreenway.org department email account. 

 

Qualifications: 

  • Associate’s degree or equivalent.

  • 3+ years of experience in data management, development operations, donor acquisition, or related fields

  • Proficiency with at least one CRM; Salesforce experience preferred.

  • Advanced skills in Google Sheets / Microsoft Excel.

  • Experience interpreting data and making data-informed recommendations.

  • Meticulous attention to detail and a donor-centered customer service mindset.

  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills. 

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

 

Logistics

  • This is a full time (40 hours a week) position with full benefits.

  • This is a hybrid position with the option to work remotely two-three days a week if the work allows.

  • Work hours are Monday through Friday. Flexibility is required to accommodate occasional evening or weekend events, typically 2-4 events a year.

  • Work will generally take place indoors, but the position will require some time on The Greenway.

The Greenway Conservancy offers competitive benefits including: 

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance: 80% of medical and dental premiums and 100% of the medical deductible are covered by the Conservancy. 

  • Short- and long-term disability, life, and AD&D insurance: 100% of premiums covered by the Conservancy.

  • Paid time off: 16 vacation days, 13.5 holidays, and 7 sick days annually.

  • Retirement Savings: Simple IRA with 4% employer match after 2 years of employment.

  • Commuter Benefits: Pre-tax commuter program for public transit and rail parking, plus free onsite office parking.

  • Professional development: Role-specific training and growth opportunities encouraged and supported.

  • Additional Perks: 

    • Free/discounted admission to 50+ cultural organizations in New England

    • Eligibility as a qualified employer for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.

 

Application process

  • Please email one-page cover letter, resume, and 3 references to: careers@rosekennedygreenway.org with job title in the subject line. Each file name should begin with the applicant's last name.
