The position will enable robust CRM integrations and stabilize and mature our new technology ecosystem – keeping data healthy, well-governed, and useful for our 100+ CRM users.  

Our CRM sits at the center of a connected ecosystem -- linked to our data warehouse and analytics layer, marketing automation, and donor-services tools. This interconnected technology stack will require this position to partner closely with a range of stakeholders, including staff from Development, Communications, the Project Management Office, IT, and consultants.
