Founded in 1936, the National Wildlife Federation has grown into America's largest and most trusted grassroots conservation organization with 52 state/territorial affiliates and more than six million members and supporters, including hunters, anglers, gardeners, birders, hikers, campers, paddlers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and stripes. The mission of the National Wildlife Federation is to unite all Americans to ensure wildlife thrive in a rapidly changing world. We advance this mission through programming focused on conserving wildlife, restoring habitats and waterways, expanding outdoor opportunities, connecting children with nature, advancing environmental justice, and addressing the causes and consequences of climate change.

The Senior Coordinator will work in conjunction and through the direction of the Director for Donor Relations & Special Giving to create engaging programming for a rapidly growing segment of our donors. This role will provide support and management around donor mailings, donor events, and collateral production essential to the solicitation, engagement, and stewardship of important donor segments. They will work with team leads to build and manage annual stewardship calendars and facilitate critical planning meetings to ensure coordinated efforts as needed.
The primary focus area for this position will be the production management for the mid-level program's marketing and communication efforts, providing support with content generation, internal review, production, and delivery while managing deadlines. These efforts directly influence revenue and will require strong attention for detail. This person will be tasked with tailoring and adopting stewardship efforts and campaigns to offer engagement to major giving supporters as well.
