Associate Vice President, Direct Mail

🇺🇸 United States - Remote
📢 Marketing Executive

Job description

At MissionWired, we help our partners create revolutionary fundraising strategies that advance their mission, change our country, and have a positive impact on the world.

MissionWired is the only wholly integrated direct marketing agency for nonprofits and Democratic organizations. We help our partners tell big, ambitious stories that invite their supporters into communities to raise mission-changing revenue. Our results are unrivaled, having converted more than $4.5 billion in donations to the world’s most trusted philanthropies and groundbreaking campaigns. We do it over email and SMS, in the mail, across social media, everywhere. We don’t think in terms of channels; we’re single-minded in pursuit of your success.

We’re innovative, progress-obsessed, do-gooders who care deeply about social change and continuing to push the limits on what we can accomplish together. We’ve brought strategies to life for nonprofit organizations working around the world, including Sandy Hook Promise, Human Rights Watch, The Humane Society of the U.S., Save the Children, and Friends of the Earth. Over the years, we have worked with various progressive political organizations and believe that each election cycle is an opportunity for us to support organizations across the country and elect Democrats to legislative bodies up and down the ballot.

We’re an equal-opportunity employer and take seriously our commitment to equality and equity. Our efforts to be inclusive and create opportunity don’t end when someone joins us – they begin.

We’ve set our sights on changing the world through our work and with our clients, and representation is at the foundation of what we do. We know that diversity of thought and background makes us stronger. That’s why we’re committed to building and maintaining a diverse community.

Every new team member broadens our perspective and allows us to think bigger. We’ll be at our best when people from underrepresented communities and people with a range of perspectives and lived experiences want to come, stay, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Overview: We are currently looking for an Associate Vice President to join our Direct Mail Team! In this role, you’ll provide strategic leadership to Democratic campaigns and organizations fighting for a better future. You will be responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive direct marketing fundraising strategies that propel our partners’ missions. You’ll be an agile leader, enjoying a dynamic experience, working with everyone from household names to upstart organizations with new angles on old problems. You’ll oversee a book of relationships, ensuring our service is worthy of the trust they place in us.

There’s nowhere else you can work on the most competitive races in the country and several of the core Democratic committees while breaking fundraising records every single cycle. We’re a little biased, sure, but you also won’t find another team like ours: We’re wired to bring together cutting-edge direct response strategy and execution for the most pressing issues of our time.

You will be responsible for:

  • Identifying donor segments for direct mail campaigns, finding new opportunities to segment and engage donors for maximum impact;
  • Bringing a creative, data-driven approach to existing and new fundraising direct mail strategies, with a focus on revenue results;
  • Leading the strategic planning and execution of offline fundraising initiatives for political partners; including primarily direct mail but may also include telemarketing;
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to create compelling and targeted direct mail fundraising campaigns;
  • Developing and managing fundraising budgets, ensuring optimal allocation of resources;
  • Analyzing fundraising performance metrics and implement strategies for continuous improvement;
  • Staying updated with industry trends and best practices, incorporating innovative approaches into fundraising efforts;
  • Fostering relationships with key stakeholders (internal/external);
  • Providing leadership, mentorship, and guidance to the fundraising team, fostering professional growth and development.
  • Working closely with fast-paced client partners, ready to shift priorities in a high-demanding, high-volume environment with tight deadlines.

Must-have qualifications:

  • Desire to be part of a company committed to delivering groundbreaking results for mission-driven organizations and campaigns;
  • 10+ years of in-house political or agency experience in direct response fundraising;
  • Tenured experience with client management and resilience to seamlessly work with clients whose needs and priorities shift quickly;
  • Proficiency in communication and writing, demonstrating excellence in both areas;
  • Substantial background in devising long-term strategies, seamlessly transitioning from high-level strategic planning to hands-on execution, and effectively steering account management;
  • Proven self-starter with the ability to efficiently manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and adapt to dynamic requirements and deadlines;
  • Adaptable to excelling in a dynamic environment with tight deadlines;
  • Dedicated to achieving results while maintaining a collaborative team-oriented approach;
  • Eager inclination to learn and continuously develop professionally;
  • Strong Excel experience;
  • Previous people management experience;
  • Dedication to delivering exceptional customer service and consistently providing it to your client each day.

The salary floor for this role is $110,000+ per year, depending on experience.

The official title upon hire will be Associate Vice President.
