Date posted: January 23, 2018
Closing date: February 11, 2018
Salary: $43,000-$48,000/year, plus benefits

Dogwood is a people-powered organization driven by a shared love of B.C. We believe in a more just, equitable and sustainable province. But to get there, we know First Nations and British Columbians have to organize to take back power from political insiders and global corporations.
We’re probably best known for the No Tankers campaign. Since 2007, Dogwood and our allies have prevented a massive expansion of carbon pollution and oil tanker traffic on the West Coast. Our supporters are definitely concerned about climate change and oil spills. But we don’t just work to protect the environment.
What we’re really looking for are tipping points: moments when enough citizen pressure can rewrite a law, reverse a bad decision or convince a politician to take a stronger position. That’s when we channel large-scale citizen action — both offline and online — to lock in change for the long term.
We currently have an opportunity for a tech savvy innovator to join our Digital Team for a six month (with possible extension) maternity leave position.
The successful candidate will support our fundraising, field, and communications teams in using digital tools and lead the management and analysis of data. This role will also implement aspects of Dogwood’s digital and data infrastructure, and inform digital and data strategy.
As part of our team, you’ll get to:
- Support our fundraising, field and communications teams to maximize the use of digital tools in executing our campaigns
- Perform data clean-up and analysis to support strategic priorities
- Help mobilize British Columbians to take action on the democratic and environmental issues they care about
To be considered for this position, you need to:
- Be enthusiastic about doing data driven work
- Enjoy connecting the digital dots for non-technical staff
- Be comfortable working on a team to solve complex digital challenges in ways that meet a variety of needs and aptitudes
Any of the following would be considered strong assets:
- Very strong technical skills and aptitudes are essential, including but not limited to experience:
- Configuring, developing or administering Customer Relationship Management (CRM) databases, Salesforce or Nationbuilder experience an asset.
- Using, administering and/or developing Content Management Systems (CMS). Wordpress and JavaScript exp an asset.
- Processing and analysis of data: Comfortable in Excel, ideally with experience with Python or similar (Django, etc). Familiarity with R or other statistical analysis an asset.
- Strong ability to convey technical information to non-technical staff and volunteers using good listening skills and a demonstrated ability to translate in the other direction.
- Ability to conduct high-quality work independently, establish priorities strategically, and proceed with objectives without supervision, yet participate effectively as part of a team.
- Experience in creative thinking/problem solving.
Dogwood offers a flexible and rewarding work environment, including four weeks paid vacation in your first year, and health, dental and paramedical benefits.
