- Strong planning, multi-tasking and time management skills to balance inbound support with fundraising administration and outbound stewardship
- Excellent administration and organisational skills, including strong attention to detail (especially with CRM data)
- A demonstrated ability to work collaboratively as part of a high-performing team
- Experience using Salesforce is desirable
- Knowledge of climate impacts and solutions is desirable
