Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is the leading science-based nonprofit working for a healthy environment and a safer world. UCS combines independent scientific research and citizen action to develop innovative, practical solutions and to secure responsible changes in government policy, corporate practices, and consumer choices. UCS strives for a future that is free from the threats of global warming and nuclear war and a planet that supports a rich diversity of life. Its specific focus areas include global warming, renewable energy, advanced vehicle technology, nuclear power safety, nuclear weapons and related security issues, preserving the integrity of science, and sustainable agriculture. The staff experts at UCS are highly respected in both Washington, DC, and state capitals, and are frequently called to testify before government committees. UCS collaborates with respected researchers across the world and together with concerned citizens, actively engages policymakers, the media, and other organizations to extend the reach of its work and drive positive change. UCS seeks a mission-driven, creative Membership Director to manage its robust, top-performing membership program. UCS constituents include more than 300,000 members, online activists, scientists and concerned citizens. Members contribute approximately $5.5M annually to the organization and provide a pipeline of major donor prospects for the leadership giving program. The Director serves as a member of the senior development team, reports to the Chief Development Officer and manages two full time membership staff. Successful candidates will have a minimum of 5-7 years of development experience, superior editorial skills, a track record of effective management of direct marketing vendors and a demonstrated interest in environmental activism. The Position: In addition to working with his/her colleagues in the Development department, the Director will collaborate with Kevin Knobloch, President of UCS, as well as program staff in each of the core mission areas, to develop content for creative, timely, membership marketing materials. S/he will develop and execute a donor marketing plan that includes direct mail, online giving, and telemarketing with expense and revenue projections for each program. The Director will drive revenue enhancement through member acquisition, segmentation, and upgrade strategies for current donors as well as targeted appeals to lapsed members. The Director also works closely with the Major Gifts and Stewardship staff to coordinate communication with major gift donors, while continually identifying segments of the membership who are major gift prospects and need further cultivation. The Director will serve as the primary liaison to direct marketing vendors (direct mail, online and telemarketing) and be responsible for approving all content, overseeing the schedule of solicitations, and ensuring the timely and cost effective implementation of all donor appeals. The Director will also supervise two full time staff members: the Membership Manager and Membership Coordinator. In addition to his/her development duties, the Director will oversee the UCS public interest inquiry system, whereby members have the privilege of directly communicating with UCS experts (via the membership office) regarding UCS findings, publications and policy information. The membership office receives thousands of inquiries per month, and with the support of the the Membership staff, manage a triage system that ensure that each member receives a timely response, while identifying and prioritizing requests and inquiries that may require special attention or handling.
