Growth Manager

Growth Manager

Recidiviz is thrilled to be hiring a Growth Manager to join our team! You'll be part of our small and mighty fundraising team that secures continued, sustainable funding for our work.

We're looking for a detail-oriented, analytical self-starter who gets a thrill out of wrangling lots of information and building systems to keep a high-performing team running smoothly. If you geek out over well-run systems and are very detail-oriented, we'd love to hear from you. If you're excited to become an indispensable engine for a mission-driven organization and grow into donor relationship management, we want to hear from you. Fundraising experience is not required.

The Growth Manager is the engine that keeps our philanthropic machine running, ensuring every Recidiviz supporter receives white-glove service. That every dollar raised is tracked and reported on. That all supporters receive tailored updates about what their support made possible. You are the team's dedicated information hub, diving into our data, products, and state partners to build the knowledge base that makes our pitches and reports shine. Ultimately, your meticulous organization and information synthesizing capacity will allow our team to pursue more philanthropic gifts and expand our overall funding success, leading to the long-term success of the organization.

Core Responsibilities

• Own End-to-End Gift Management : Serve as the critical operational hub for fundraising and finance. Own the complete gift-tracking process, coordinating with Finance, ensuring all reporting deadlines are met, and maintaining an accurate, real-time donor pipeline.
• Build the Knowledge Base : Create and manage a centralized, accessible resource for all Growth materials by proactively diving into data and product updates from across the team to record wins, collect the latest on product launches, and capture impact numbers.
• Support Strategic Pitch Preparation : Act as the primary support for senior Growth team members, compiling context on funders, gathering necessary materials, and preparing materials for high-stakes donor meetings and events.
• Expand the Donor Pool : Conduct ongoing, proactive research on new prospect funders and foundations to continuously expand our philanthropic opportunity set.
• Cultivate Donor Relationships : Over time, and with dedicated mentorship, manage all aspects of donor stewardship, including direct relationship cultivation and pipeline movement.

More About Recidiviz

Recidiviz was an all-volunteer effort until early 2019, when Clementine, Andrew, and Joshua founded the organization. Since then, we've built an A-team of software engineers, designers, product managers and domain experts, from companies like Google, Apple, Dropbox, Opower, and Sidewalk Labs. Recidiviz was part of Y-Combinator's 2019 class and has received support from some of the most respected philanthropists and foundations, including Ford Foundation, Mackenzie Scott, Schmidt Futures, Arnold Ventures, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Mozilla Foundation.

Today, Recidiviz works with (and earns revenue from) over 19 state partners big and small, red and blue and covers more than 45% of the US incarcerated population. We have helped to get hundreds of thousands of people out of the criminal justice system, safely and equitably, and saved states nearly $1 billion. In addition to partnering with state Departments of Corrections, Recidiviz collaborates with and learns from partners from organizations like the Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) to community based organizations and justice-impacted individuals, whose perspectives guide our work.
