[NYC] Lambda Legal Looking for a New Membership Manager

Responsibilities
Member Services is responsible for ensuring that Lambda Legal donors at all levels are acknowledged promptly and receive the information and service they need. Utilizing email, phone, snail-mail and the website, the Member Services Manager works with the entire development team to expose members and potential donors to a wide range of Lambda Legal materials, events and volunteer opportunities. This work is aimed at assisting engaged donors to become more involved with the organization, both as financial supporters and as issue activists.
This position is responsible for developing and expanding existing member services programs to provide access to desired information, keeping members engaged in Lambda Legal's work, and guaranteeing that members' concerns/questions are handled correctly and professionally.

In addition, the Member Services Manager participates in a variety of membership events, from brainstorming and development to execution.

This work will ideally assist in strengthening existing loyalty to Lambda Legal as well as cement new loyalty (and increased giving) with new donors.
