The Opportunity :

As the Call Time Manager, you are the engine of our major donor fundraising program. You will be responsible for transforming our principals' time into the financial resources we need to win critical elections. This role is a unique blend of planning, rigorous process management, and hands-on coaching. You will partner with the state's top Democratic leaders—including the Party Chair, Governor, and key surrogates—to prepare them, manage their fundraising calls, and ensure every hour of call time is productive, professional, and successful. This is a critical role for a meticulously organized and performance-driven individual who understands that a flawless fundraising operation is foundational to everything we do.

The Team :

You will report to the Finance Director and work in close collaboration with the finance assistants and the entire fundraising team. You will serve as a trusted partner to the Party's principals during their fundraising time. You will also directly manage and mentor our finance interns, developing the next generation of fundraising talent.

You're our person if :

• You are obsessed with process and performance. You view call time as a system to be constantly improved, and you are driven to increase the "revenue-per-hour" by making every element of the process better.
• You believe that follow-up is everything. Your system for tracking pledges and communication is airtight. No detail is too small, and you ensure no donor commitment ever falls through the cracks.
• You know how to 'manage up' with grace. You can tactfully coach a principal, keep them motivated and on track, and create an environment where they can be focused and successful.
• You're a strategic thinker. You don't just prepare call sheets; you analyze donor research and give history to prioritize the right lists and help craft the right 'asks'.
• You are calm under pressure. You thrive in a high-stakes environment, understand the immense pressure principals are under, and remain focused, prepared, and positive at all times.
