• Partner with Data & Technology to document integration requirements and troubleshoot data discrepancies, sync failures, and process gaps that affect fundraising data quality.
• Lead requirements gathering and project management for new and enhanced integrations that support Global Development operations, translating Development's needs into technical specifications for implementation teams.

Reporting, Adoption & Innovation

• Develop and maintain CRM reporting and dashboards to track staff performance, pipeline health, and historical and projected fundraising trends for senior leadership.
• Champion CRM adoption and data quality — designing training programs, Standard Operating Procedures, and change management resources that empower Development staff to use systems effectively.
• Evaluate and recommend CRM-adjacent technology updates and vendor solutions relevant to Global Development's evolving needs.
• Stay current on trends in CRM technology, data strategy, and nonprofit business intelligence; communicate insights to leadership.
• Identify and champion the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and capabilities within Salesforce and connected systems — evaluating AI-powered features for prospect scoring, data enrichment, workflow automation, and fundraising insights — and partner with Data & Technology to pilot, implement, and scale solutions that increase Development team productivity and effectiveness.

Qualifications
