at World Without Exploitation

🏢 About World Without Exploitation

World Without Exploitation is a unique nonprofit at the forefront of combating human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation through survivor-centered approaches and policy advocacy. The organization is transitioning from a fiscally sponsored project to an independent 501(c)(3), offering a rare opportunity to be part of a foundational growth phase and make a tangible impact on a critical social issue.

About This Role

This role is central to ensuring a smooth organizational transition and building operational infrastructure for long-term success. You will lead CRM implementation, develop SOPs, and support donor communications—directly enabling WorldWE to scale its impact in fighting exploitation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve a morning check-in with the executive director to update on transition milestones, followed by a data cleanup session in the CRM. Afternoon could include drafting donor acknowledgment letters and a virtual meeting with a vendor to finalize SOP templates. You’ll also carve out time to train a colleague on the new CRM features.
