Digital Fundraising Specialist

 

Description:

The Wikimedia Foundation seeks a detail-oriented and self-starting Digital Fundraising Specialist to join our Online Fundraising team, reporting to the Senior Manager of Fundraising Growth. In this role, you will support the production and administration of dozens of international fundraising initiatives, particularly fundraising banner campaigns on Wikipedia.org, which are responsible for a significant portion of the Wikimedia Foundation’s annual revenue.

This role is heavily web content production focused. The Digital Fundraising Specialist will work within banner code (mostly HTML and CSS; some basic JS) that is written by our team of designers and developers. You will implement translations in banners and coordinate with linguist review for international campaigns. You will provide production support to our team of content writers and linguists; and ensure that key campaigns and other web projects are tracked in our project management systems and executed with a high degree of quality.

In a typical day, you will:

  • Prepare banners and other fundraising content for testing. This involves content production; moving bits of code and blocks of copy from documents to spreadsheets and into CentralNotice, our fundraising banner ads extension.
  • Reference and contribute to an Asana board that tracks all our live fundraising campaigns; you’ll be particularly focused on the messages we show on Wikipedia.org, as well as the fundraising we do on social media and in the Wikipedia App.
  • Contribute rigorous QA and production support through all the steps of banner production: design, translation, quality assurance and testing.
  • Use and contribute to our communications systems, such as our Asana calendar, campaign test queue, and experiment results sheets. We depend on these systems to actively monitor our live campaigns and plan for upcoming initiatives.

Desired Skills and Qualifications:

  • Basic proficiency with HTML/CSS and front-end web content management; you won’t be writing code from scratch, but you will need to be able to find divs and classes, and make straight-forward changes to HTML content.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and quality assurance skills - you are great at catching things that others miss.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent project management and organizational skills.
  • An analytical mindset, and experience reading graphs and spreadsheets to extract actionable takeaways for your work.
  • A willingness to learn on the job in a fast-moving, technical environment.
  • Experience with multilingual marketing or programs, and comfort working within distributed, international environments.
  • December is a critical fundraising month and team members are generally needed to work in this month.
