Salesforce Data Manager
GiveDirectly
Location: This role is fully remote. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas in the U.S. or U.K. at this time.
About GiveDirectly
GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.
GD has raised over $700M since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1 million people, and launched offices in 10 countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.
We’re looking for exceptional talent to grow our collaborative, diverse team. Joining GiveDirectly provides the opportunity to work alongside individuals who come from 21 different countries and speak 69 different languages. We’re actively working toward an equitable and inclusive environment for all team members, and seek candidates who will bring diverse perspectives and experiences to our organization. We recruit from organizations across all industries: our team has hailed from sectors including start-ups, government, consultancies, investment banks, and nonprofits.
Across our global offices, our culture is candid, analytical, non-hierarchical, and fast-paced. We value ability, adaptability, and willingness to learn. We offer competitive salary and benefits, as well as performance-based bonuses.
About this role
We believe technology will play a critical role in enabling the next generation of charitable giving: from tracking dollars from donation to recipients to supporting new data models like group fundraisers and crypto. We are seeking a Salesforce Data Manager to maintain and develop the org’s fundraising CRMs (currently in SalesForce and Hubspot).
This role is an opportunity to become the technical owner of a large data set and improve the org’s fundraising efficiency by streamlining existing processes and improving usability of our data so the org can make data-driven decisions to ultimately drive more dollars to recipients. You will collaborate with leads across the org to build solutions to a variety of business needs ranging from tracking crypto donations and modeling recurring donations. You are a systems thinker who is comfortable assessing tradeoffs and deriving and communicating data-driven insights. You enjoy learning about technology in a variety of business contexts and naturally take ownership, can navigate unfamiliar settings, and enjoy both building and managing data systems.
This role is fully remote but must overlap with a New York timezone by at least 4 hours.
