The Development Coordinator will focus predominantly on writing, generating a range of multi-channel (print and digital materials) to further the Faculty's fundraising and alumni engagement strategies. The successful candidate will be able to motivate, galvanize and celebrate alumni and donors through the production of impact and alumni stories, online and newsletter articles, proposals, mass e-communications, speaking notes for senior leadership, slide-decks, social media posts, and other materials.
The ideal candidate will possess an understanding of existing fundraising templates (proposals, stewardship reports), and an ability to adapt and shift comfortably across a range of communications collateral. Working independently, the Development Coordinator will ideally generate visually appealing communication materials and digital assets (including intermediate skills in InDesign and Photoshop and social media).
The position requires not only a minimum of three years of related experience but also excellent verbal and written communication skills. The candidate will possess strong organizational, analytical and interpersonal skills, and a proven ability to interact effectively and positively with staff, managers and donors. This position is instrumental in the development and delivery of donor-focused communications and events designed to enhance lifelong relationships with UBC donors.
