The posting

At World Central Kitchen (WCK), we believe every donor interaction should reflect the same urgency, care, and excellence that define our mission on the frontlines. The Fundraising Operations Manager plays a pivotal role in upholding that standard by overseeing the systems and processes that power WCK’s gift processing, donor acknowledgments, and financial reconciliation. This leader ensures that every contribution - whether large, small, recurring, or made in honor of someone, is processed swiftly, accurately, and with unwavering respect for donor intent.

The Manager supervises and mentors a high-performing team that handles gift entry, acknowledgments, donor support, matching gifts, and pledge follow-up. They set clear priorities, manage daily workflows, and foster a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement. This role is responsible for timely gift posting across Salesforce and Sage Intacct; maintaining and refining acknowledgment and tribute processes; managing the relationship with WCK’s lockbox/caging vendor; and ensuring WCK’s fundraising operations remain compliant, efficient, and donor-centered.

This position also drives operational excellence through regular quality assurance checks, updated SOPs, and targeted process improvements. The Manager identifies opportunities to streamline and automate workflows, enabling the team to scale effectively as WCK grows. Working collaboratively across Development, Finance, and Donor Relations, this leader helps ensure WCK’s fundraising infrastructure remains strong, adaptable, and aligned with best practices.

Ideal candidates thrive at the intersection of people leadership, operational precision, and mission-driven service—building processes that strengthen donor trust and fuel WCK’s ability to meet the needs of communities around the world.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
