🏢 About Good360

Good360 is the global leader in product philanthropy, bridging the gap between companies with surplus goods and nonprofits serving communities in need. With a mission to 'Close the Need Gap to Open Opportunity for All,' they've distributed over $18 billion in goods since 1983 and have been recognized as a top workplace and top charity. Working here means contributing to a high-impact mission with a strong culture and a fast-growing, purpose-driven team.

About This Role

As the Senior Manager, Nonprofit Member Experience, you'll be the architect of the nonprofit member journey, from onboarding to ongoing engagement and advocacy. You'll translate member needs into strategic communication plans and consistent touchpoints, directly impacting the satisfaction and success of over 100,000 nonprofits. This role is pivotal in ensuring that the nonprofits Good360 serves feel valued, supported, and empowered to fulfill their missions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve analyzing member engagement data to identify pain points in the journey, then drafting a new onboarding email series or a quarterly newsletter. You might collaborate with the programs team to gather member feedback, or meet with the technology team to improve the member portal. You'll also be reviewing communication metrics to refine future touchpoints, all while working remotely and connecting with colleagues via Slack and video calls.

🎯 Who Good360 Is Looking For

  • Experienced marketer with a proven track record in customer/member journey mapping and lifecycle marketing, ideally in a nonprofit or membership organization.
  • Strategic thinker who can translate member insights into actionable communication plans and measure their impact on engagement and retention.
  • Excellent written and verbal communicator, with the ability to craft compelling, empathetic messaging for a diverse nonprofit audience.
  • Data-driven and analytical, comfortable using metrics to optimize touchpoints and demonstrate ROI.
  • Self-motivated and organized, able to work independently in a remote environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
