Broad function and scope of the position:

In the midst of JDRF’s continual progress came the unexpected: a global pandemic. COVID-19 has upended our fundraising model and forced to look at our world differently. We are moving to fast-track existing strategies to drive mission-momentum in a challenging fundraising environment.

This requires a digital-first approach to broaden our reach. The Marketing Automation National Manager will be on the front-lines of this strategic focus.

We need a technically-sound marketing leader with meaningful experience in the areas of email and mobile marketing, as well as a penchant for eye-catching creative and effective copy.

In addition to being well-versed in marketing technology, this team player will be able to look holistically at the entire JDRF supporter experience and help us make it more consistent to promote online giving and convert audiences to donors.

This leader will help establish governance, business processes, and key metrics as we move our marketing organization into a post-pandemic world. Our ideal candidate is a strategic thinker, but also has the business acumen to translate data into actionable marketing activities which drive growth in revenue, advocacy, and volunteerism.

Finally, we need this leader to guide and teach our internal and external partners how to use modern marketing technologies for the betterment of our organization. This will include partnerships with Marketing, Communications, Development Operations, IT, Advocacy, digital agencies and other teams to generate excitement around JDRF’s digital-first approach to mission and fundraising programs.
