At MissionWired, we help nonprofit organizations and Democratic campaigns advance their revenue and cause. By unifying direct response programs - from email, direct mail, and advertising to analytics, creative, and acquisition - we've helped raise over $5 billion for our partners.

Our team brings tech intelligence, empathetic storytelling, and an unrivaled agility to every partnership. We proudly work alongside world-changing nonprofit clients including Human Rights Watch, Innocence Project, and the American Red Cross - as well as major Democratic committees and competitive Senate and gubernatorial races.

As an equal-opportunity employer dedicated to building and sustaining an inclusive community, we are deeply committed to equality, equity, and inclusion. Representation and diversity of thought strengthen our work with clients to change the world.

If you are passionate about powering progressive change and helping organizations amplify their impact, we'd love to hear from you!

In this role, you'd be on the front lines of the client relationship and responsible for designing and implementing integrated marketing campaigns that deliver stellar results. You will work with many clients with very different types of engagements, but you won't be alone: You'll be managing a team of associates, strategists, writers, artists, and production staff.

Successful candidates will be responsible for:

• Working with political partners to develop strategies that maximize direct response fundraising by bringing together breakthrough creative and tech resources, including custom and proprietary solutions;

• Generating relationships with new nonprofit partners
• Assessing client KPIs and ensuring maximum ROI of client campaigns;
• Advising clients on industry best practices and emerging strategies;
• Providing clients with strategic marketing planning, including revenue forecasting and budgeting;
• Working with client teams, including technology and creative, to assist in managing resources and timelines on projects;
• Identifying prospective clients in need of our services and driving opportunities for us to design and pitch engagements; and
• Providing top-quality customer service to clients, including regular reporting and invoicing.

Must-have qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in direct response communications, direct mail fundraising, or marketing for organizations at an agency or a political organization;
• Extensive background in political fundraising with strong understanding of how leading campaigns and committees drive grassroots revenue;
• Client management experience;
• Experience managing cross-functional project teams;
• Ability to juggle multiple projects in a deadline-driven environment; and
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills.
