[Hiring] Fundraising Client Manager @Blue Wave Political Partners

Role Description

Blue Wave Political Partners, a political fundraising, compliance, and digital consulting firm based in Washington state, is seeking a Client Manager to join our company based in the Portland, Oregon metro area.

• Communicating with candidates and staff.
• Managing the finance plan, event program, email program, and call time program.

We believe that political campaigns have traditionally excluded many of those that are the most marginalized in society, including BIPOC, women, LGBTQ people, and people who have faced historical and structural barriers.
