Development Coordinator

The Wily Network partners with college students in the Greater Boston area who are working towards their degrees without emotional or financial support from family. Wily provides a critical safety net for Scholars as they navigate college independently.

Wily Scholars bring unique experiences, challenges, strengths and goals to the college journey. Some have experienced homelessness or foster care, some have been denied family support due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, some have lost their parents, and some have family members dealing with addiction, mental illness or incarceration. All are talented and motivated, and all are braving college on their own.

Our program offers weekly clinical coaching, financial assistance, community-building support, and networking opportunities to help Scholars move from surviving to thriving. For more information, please visit thewilynetwork.org.

Wily and You

Are you someone who thrives on being involved in every part of the development and communications process, someone who is truly a generalist? Do you pride yourself on being a creative thinker and a strong and versatile writer? Are you a team player who feels joyous when you lift up those around you?

If your answer is yes, then let’s meet and learn more about each other.

As a member of the Wily Pack, you will report to the Director of Development and Communications, and work collaboratively with all members of the administrative team, especially the Communications and Grants Manager (CGM). Success doesn’t mean you’re the expert in everything—it means you can make meaningful contributions across a variety of areas and collaborate with colleagues in others. You will coordinate an array of donor relations activities, including data entry, donor communications and project management, social media, and print and digital marketing, among others.

Desired Qualifications

• 1-3+ years of non profit development, communications or relevant experience
• Demonstrated success in donor relations and communications project management
• Expertise with Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and calendar management
• Experience creating videos and digital assets using Canva or similar platforms
• Excellent and clear communication skills (written and oral)
• Proven track record of excellent discretion and ability to handle confidential information
• Valid drivers license and/or reliable transportation for travel as required by the position

The Wily Network is especially committed to recruiting candidates from historically marginalized backgrounds and identities as well as those whose leadership style fosters diversity, equity and inclusion. We strive to create a workplace that reflects our commitment to racial, gender, and social equity. All identities will be welcomed, valued, and protected as a member of our Pack.
