Development Operations Associate

Tech is ubiquitous. Tech solutions for social problems are not. An emerging class of startups is building tech to solve these social problems. They are tech nonprofits. Fast Forward bridges the tech and nonprofit sectors to build capacity for tech nonprofits, so they can scale solutions to our world's most urgent problems.

To date, Fast Forward's portfolio of tech nonprofits have impacted 262M lives and raised $1 billion in follow-on funding. 85% of the portfolio have a founder who has personal experience with the problem, 62% have a founder who is a woman, and 75% have a founder who is a person of color.

The Development Operations Associate will play a key role in powering Fast Forward's revenue engine. This role will report directly to the Director of Strategic Philanthropy and will support the entire Partnerships team by keeping fundraising systems organized and ensuring a seamless flow of data and information across teams.

You will maintain accurate donor records, prepare reports and dashboards, support grant and proposal workflows, and keep outreach efforts organized. This role sits at the intersection of philanthropy and partnerships and gives you hands-on experience in how foundation and corporate fundraising come together to drive impact.

This is a full-time, in-office role based in the Presidio in San Francisco, CA.
