Wildsight is seeking a part-time Communications & Fundraising Technology Specialist to join our team, helping to maintain and improve our CiviCRM database and WordPress websites to help deliver effective communications, engagement and fundraising efforts. We’re looking not just for someone who can manage the technical aspects of keeping systems running smoothly, but can see the bigger picture to make sure we’re collecting the right data and doing the right analysis to make our work effective.
Your areas of responsibility:
- Administer our CiviCRM database, including improving and developing systems to meet evolving needs, setting up reports, and providing support when staff need help or things go wrong. This system is hosted externally, so you won’t be responsible for backups or system administration.
- Administer our WordPress multisite websites, including editing page templates, custom fields, styles, and general maintenance and support. These sites are hosted on AWS Lightsail.
- Analyze data from CiviCRM to provide support for fundraising and communications strategy and process.
- Generate donor lists for fundraising appeals.
- Ensure mass email deliverability.
- Help set up complex event registrations in CiviCRM with price sets and set up Drupal webforms.
- Administer connections between our WordPress websites and CiviCRM.
- Maintain data quality in CiviCRM and work with our team to improve processes to bring new contacts into CiviCRM and build our newsletter subscriber and donor lists.
Skills and experience: We’re looking for someone with some technical skills and experience and ideally experience in fundraising, communications engagement at a non-profit organisation. Ideally you’d have:
- Experience with CiviCRM or another CRM.
- Experience with WordPress configuration and themes, including ACF, or Drupal.
- Some knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP and Javascript.
- Basic knowledge of Linux administration and MySQL.
- Experience analyzing data.
This role is a part-time continuing contract position requiring approximately 10 hours per week at a rate of $46.29 – $53.71 per hour. You can schedule your work in whatever way works best for you, but you will need to occasionally meet with our team virtually during regular Mountain Time working hours and address time-sensitive issues. The role is open to anyone located in Canada. We will work with the successful candidate to determine a start date, but are hoping to fill this position by September.
