For more than 100 years, we’ve brought New Yorkers together to solve some of the most pressing problems facing our community. Thanks to our network of hundreds of non-profits, we can leverage our expertise across any number of areas — including health and human services, arts and culture, and education — to care for Jews everywhere and New Yorkers of all backgrounds, respond to crises close to home and far away, and shape our Jewish future. Our reach extends from New York to Israel to nearly 70 other countries around the world, touching 4.5 million people each year.
We believe in the power of insights to shape strategy, optimize fundraising efforts, and improve customer engagement. As part of our growing team, we are seeking a Data Analyst to partner with our fundraising team to unearth insights and build dynamic, interactive dashboards that translate fundraising data into actionable learnings. This is an exciting opportunity for a data-savvy professional to play a key role in driving fundraising performance and decision-making across the organization.
We’re hiring a Data Analyst to help our Fundraising team see and understand its data. You will build dashboards and reports that show what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next. You’ll also improve how we collect, structure, and share performance data.
You will work with people across fundraising and analytics. In this role, you’ll need to think ahead, stay organized, and explain things clearly. You’ll often make sense of needs that aren't fully defined, so you should be comfortable taking the lead and asking good questions.

- Build dashboards: Create and manage Power BI dashboards that show fundraising results—like engagement, conversion, and customer growth.
- Analyze data: Find trends, spot issues, and explain what the data means in simple terms.

- Improve systems: Set up tools and workflows that reduce manual work and keep our reports up to date.
- Tell clear stories: Use charts and visuals to help others understand what the numbers show.
Qualifications
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in data analysis, data visualization, or business intelligence, with a focus on financial or fundraising data.
- Bonus if you have experience working on Salesforce or with Salesforce data
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in data visualization tools, in particular PowerBI.
- Data Analysis: Strong understanding of fundraising KPIs and analytics (e.g., donor acquisition, donor retention, conversion rates, ROI, etc.), with experience in analyzing large datasets to extract insights.
- SQL & Data Manipulation: Expert proficiency with SQL and experience working with fundraising and financial data to gather and manipulate data.
- Attention to Detail: Strong attention to detail and a passion for presenting data accurately and clearly.
- Collaboration: Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including marketers, analysts, and leadership.
