You describe yourself as having these skills and traits:
- Exceptional project management skills to juggle multiple deadlines and requests from senior staff and clients across multiple projects.
- Strong research, writing, editing, and formatting skills, and the ability to put the final “polish” on documents, presentations, and other deliverables for our clients.

- Critical thinking skills to track, manage, and analyze data relating to charitable giving and global development.
- A desire to be a team contributor to meet the needs of clients in a fast-paced environment.

- Enthusiasm for learning and career growth in the fields of philanthropy, fundraising, or communications.
You have a Bachelor’s degree and 1-2 years of professional experience, experience working as an intern, or similar. You’re skilled using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and may also have used Publisher, InDesign, Salesforce, and project management platforms like Asana.
