YOUR SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES

You will be a strong communicator, have good ideas and talent building strong relationships both within your team and with supporters. You’ll be motivated to discover new potential supporters and nurture mutually beneficial relationships. You are a gifted multitasker, willing to balance your own priorities with those in the team around you. You can navigate your way around a CRM and keep it up-to-date.
