We’re looking for an Associate to join our Digital Fundraising and Advocacy Area.
When you come work for us, here’s what you’ll find:
- Work that is meaningful. We are a fast-paced, deadline-driven consulting firm that only works with nonprofit clients who are essential to advancing the cause of justice, alleviating suffering, and solving the greatest challenges we face.
- Commitment to Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion (AEI). We envision an anti-oppressive workplace that ensures an inclusive employee experience, promotes equitable outcomes for staff, and supports clients to center accessibility and anti-racism in their programs.
- Colleagues you can count on. Kind, dedicated, passionate people who work collaboratively to get things done and help you do your best.
- An organization that embraces change. We strive to improve and adapt and always seek new ways that we can contribute to a just, inclusive, and sustainable world. We are also continually working on making M+R a better place for our staff.
So that’s us. Now about the work:
- We run digital fundraising, membership, and advocacy programs for our clients, which include lots of politically progressive groups like Planned Parenthood, League of Conservation Voters, and PETA, as well as cultural organizations we love, like the American Museum of Natural History. And our clients also include organizations that are working in the most dire situations in the world such as the International Rescue Committee.
- Day-to-day, we’re figuring out how to find, recruit, and retain supporters in order to raise revenue, win campaigns, and build brand recognition and loyalty for our clients.
Here’s what you’ll be doing in this role:
- Work in a team to create and implement effective digital campaigns for clients.
- Use eCRM technology such as EveryAction and Luminate to manage quality assurance on email communications produced by M+R’s Production Team, make minor edits using HTML, and run queries to launch emails.
- Execute A/B testing plans to optimize emails and webforms.
- Pull and analyze data on email messaging, fundraising performance, advocacy engagement, and more.
- Help draft email, social media, and landing page copy, as well as other creative materials.
- Project management: Keep task lists, meetings agendas, and communications calendars across your clients.
- Wrangle colleagues at all levels to keep your teams working effectively.
- Do your part to help us run smoothly, including carefully tracking all of your hours.
Skills and experiences required for this role:
- 1-2 years of full-time digital marketing experience, or at least 6 months of exclusive, full-time email marketing experience.
- Demonstrated ability to use and learn digital marketing tools and technologies (e.g. coding basic HTML by hand, peer-to-peer texting programs like GetThru, eCRMs like EveryAction and Luminate, database management).
- Capability to crunch numbers in Excel and draw insights from the results.

- Able to work within equitable and inclusive decision making models in moving decisions and initiatives forward.
