About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

The Philanthropy Administrative Coordinator provides high-trust administrative, scheduling, and workflow support for the Philanthropy Team.
This role helps the team operate with consistency, speed, and donor-centered discipline by coordinating calendars, routing leads, maintaining clean follow-through, and supporting the systems that move donors from interest to meaningful relationships.
Reporting to the Development Operations Manager, this position serves as an internal coordinator for the team and is especially responsible for helping manage the Vice President of Philanthropy's calendar, including scheduling donor meetings, discovery visits, internal strategy sessions, and follow-up touchpoints.
The role also supports lead flow generated through MarketSmart and related tools so that no qualified opportunity sits idle and every prospect receives timely, thoughtful next steps.
As Unbound grows major gifts, planned giving, and campaign activity, the Philanthropy Team needs stronger day-to-day coordination around donor movement, calendar discipline, lead management, and internal accountability. This role helps create the operational backbone for that work.
