coefficientgiving - Partnerships Associate

• This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build skills in donor engagement and philanthropic communications while contributing to high-impact work. You will have a wide portfolio that provides an inside view of the front lines of sophisticated donor cultivation and stewardship. The role reports to Liz Givens https://coefficientgiving.org/team/liz-givens/, Director of Partnerships. • THE PARTNERSHIPS ASSOCIATE WILL: • Support relationship building. Help cultivate new donor relationships by supporting outreach, preparing briefing materials, and ensuring timely follow-up. Research prospective donors and run regular portfolio reviews to assess the status of donor relationships and identify next steps. • Deliver donor events. Coordinate with the Operations team to plan and execute events that bring together donors and Coefficient Giving team members. Articulate event goals, design outreach strategy, maintain invitation lists, ensure internal stakeholders are well-prepared, and coordinate timely follow-up. Create a Partnerships event playbook to document best practices. • Create donor-facing materials. Work with the Communications team to produce content that helps donors understand our work and funding opportunities — impact reports, proposals, presentations, and other collateral tailored to donor audiences. • Support senior leaders. Support senior team members in their donor engagement. Help them prepare for meetings, coordinate follow-up, and stay on top of their donor portfolios. • Triage central communications. Manage the Partnerships inboxes to ensure all messages are routed and actioned appropriately. • Pitch in where needed. Contribute to team priorities as they emerge. In a small, growing team, flexibility is essential. • We’re looking for people with 1–3 years of professional experience who are excited to grow in a donor engagement or partnerships role. • Strong communication. You write clearly and professionally. You can adapt your style for different audiences, from busy executives to external partners. • Organization and follow-through. You manage multiple workstreams quickly and efficiently without dropping details. You keep systems clean and follow through on commitments. • Attention to detail. You enjoy planning and executing events that bring our community together and creating communications that our donors will appreciate. • Relationship-oriented. You have good instincts for stakeholder management. You stay organized across multiple workstreams, keep the right people in the loop, and bring structure to projects that might otherwise drift. • Collaborative mindset. You work well within and across teams — partnering with Communications, Operations, and other functions to get things done. • Ownership and initiative. You take responsibility for your work and proactively look for ways to improve. You're comfortable making judgment calls with incomplete information and don't need to escalate every decision. You know when to act and when to check in. • Comfort with AI tools. You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be interested in using LLMs and automation to reduce manual work. • Mission alignment. You’re excited about Coefficient Giving’s mission and approach. You want to help direct more resources toward high-impact causes. • We’re particularly interested in candidates with the following backgrounds, though many other backgrounds may be a good fit: • Development, fundraising, or donor relations in nonprofit organizations • Policy, research, or program roles, especially within Coefficient Giving cause areas • Event planning, coordination, or production in nonprofit, corporate, or political contexts • Communications, marketing, or content creation, especially for external audiences • Executive assistant, chief of staff, or operations roles supporting senior leaders
