🏢 About Sanky Communications, Inc.

Sanky Communications is a mission-driven agency dedicated exclusively to nonprofits, blending direct mail, digital, analytics, and strategic consulting to help organizations maximize their fundraising impact. Working here means supporting causes you care about while collaborating with a team that values creativity and data-driven results.

About This Role

As a Project Manager, you'll orchestrate fundraising campaigns from start to finish, ensuring every piece—from mail drops to email blasts—is perfectly timed and executed. Your role is critical because you're the bridge between client goals and internal teams, directly influencing campaign success and donor engagement.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by checking Basecamp for updates on active campaigns, then join a kickoff call for a new direct mail appeal. After lunch, you'll review creative proofs with the design team, update timelines, and send a status report to the client. The day ends with reconciling campaign expenses and planning next week's tasks.
