02 THE JOB At World Vision USA we invite people to positively impact the lives of the world's most vulnerable children through charitable giving. Our recipe includes love of all people, thriftiness, and targeting the root causes of poverty to bring about human transformation and fullness of life. With us, every 60 seconds a family gets water, a hungry child is fed, and a family gets the tools to overcome poverty. As an on-call and part-time TEAM WORLD VISION LOCAL COACH your gifts and talents will be brought to bear on work that is close to the heart of God (in the spirit of Matthew 25:34-40). If you have a passion to connect your talent to life-changing work with impact, look no further.
Join us and let's go farther together for vulnerable children worldwide. Here at Team World Vision we've been experiencing incredible growth over the past several years and we're excited for the continual investment in the existing markets that we fundraise in. To help us maximize this growth opportunity for Team World Vision and to provide an incredible experience to our participants, we're adding a 20-hour a week local coach to our strategy. In this role you'll help us not only expand into new areas and partnerships, but also deepen our commitment to team captains and runners’ experiences to ensure increased fundraising, year over year retention and long-term donor value. Primary functions include?
CONVERSION - Increasing conversion rate from INTEREST/YES to what we call “Real Registered Runners”.
TEAM CAPTAIN CARE - Training support and cultivation of volunteer leaders.
TRAINING IN SEASON - Group run management and leadership.
FUNDRAISING IN-SEASON - In person and virtual fundraising support and coaching of individuals and team captains.
RETENTION- Post season invention of retention tools and procedures.
RECRUITMENT - Adding new partners and runners to the team.
You’ll be joining the larger team that flipped the script on child sponsorship with the introduction of Chosen®, recognized by AdWeek, MediaPost, Upworthy, Christianity Today and winner of two 2020 ANA REGGIE Awards. And fundamental to your life: you’re inspired by your faith in Jesus to love God and love your neighbors. At World Vision our ultimate God-sized dream is to see more children, families, and communities affected by poverty experience the fullness of life that God intends for them all for his glory. Do you share in this dream with us and so many others? Does this sound like you? Want to be a part of creating the future of this incredible organization? We’d love to hear from you.
03 WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (1) You increase Team World Vision's real runner number. (2) You increase funds raised per person (phone calls to participants, hosting an Impact Night, and intentionally keeping fundraising a primary focus in all we do). (3) You increase value of the participant experience at group training sites, group social events, and on race weekend. (4) You increase our overall impact, that is, increase year over year retention and long-term donor value (LTDV).
04 WHERE THIS JOB COULD TAKE YOUR CAREER World Vision USA is a part of the larger World Vision International partnership. Globally, we have nearly 35,000 staff working in nearly 100 countries. Just over 900 of us call World Vision USA home. You'll have opportunities to advance within our robust and talented group of fundraisers as you continue to stretch and grow your career for the future.
05 ABOUT WORLD VISION USA When you work at World Vision, your passions and talents come together to meet the greatest needs in the world today. We go to ends of the earth and into the margins. Where few go and the road is less traveled. Because Jesus is alive in the hardest places to be a child. We are dangerously soft-hearted. But just the right kind of dangerous. That's because we're a global Christian humanitarian organization. We partner with children, families, and their communities to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice. We empower people out of poverty. For real. For good. For nearly the last 70 years. Jesus' love at the center. Always. We're Christian and follow Jesus' example to show unconditional love to the poor and oppressed. Serving every child we can regardless of faith. Are you feeling called to explore joining us? We hope so.
