Mid Level Rpm Logistics Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the systems of democracy and justice in the United States. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Brennan Center’s work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from ending mass incarceration to preserving constitutional protections in national security policies. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion.  
The Development team is responsible for raising revenues needed for the Brennan Center to operate and remain sustainable into the future. It is comprised of three portfolios: Major Donor Relations, Institutional Relations, and Direct Response & Donor Services. The Brennan Center entirely relies on donations; it receives no funding from NYU or the government.
Position Overview: 
We seek a Development Associate to join the Direct Response and Donor Services team, a vital part of our 20-person Development department. This industrious, organized, and collaborative individual will support a portfolio that raises $9-$12M annually from donors who give under $15K.
The Associate will play a central, supportive role for a team overseeing fundraising strategies that include direct mail, planned giving, sustained giving, employee match giving, and gift processing. The Direct Response and Donor Services team of six is also responsible for overall fundraising administration for the full Development team.   
In this highly collaborative role, the Associate will primarily support mid-level donor ($1K to <$15K) projects, as well as fundraising operations. Responsibilities include ensuring accurate donor and gift records; coordinating cultivation activities such as in-person meetings and webinars; handling donor inquiries; researching new and current donors within the portfolio; supporting donor pipeline activities between the small donor, mid-level, and major donor programs; coordinating donor outreach; editing donor correspondence and other written materials; and working with the other Development Associates to manage an array of supportive, coordinating duties as needed that contribute to the success of the entire department. 
The Associate will report to the Senior Director, Direct and Donor Services, but will regularly work under the Donor Relations Officer (Mid-Level).
