OUR MISSION: THE CAMPAIGN TO CREATE TOMORROW
The Ottawa Hospital Foundation has launched the historic $500 million Campaign to Create Tomorrow, a multi-year campaign to support the construction of a new state-of-the-art hospital on Carling Avenue, as well as world-leading medical research. It’s the largest ever fundraising campaign in our region’s history, representing an ambitious vision for the future of healthcare.
The Campaign to Create Tomorrow already has overwhelming community support. Our team of fundraisers have raised $318m since launching the campaign 4 years ago, which includes some of the largest-ever donations in our city’s history.
“I came from the private sector and was lacking fulfillment. My job was focused on the bottom-line – to make money for a corporation. The Foundation was a welcome change. I connect with the cause, and my work actually matters.”
In this position, you will:
- Perform general calendar management for your team. This includes identifying/resolving calendar conflicts, booking meetings, communicating meeting information to attendees (agenda, location, parking, and other relevant attachments), booking rooms/venues, and coordinating food/catering where applicable.
- Provide administrative support to a high-level fundraiser, such as processing invoices, coordinating signatures, submitting timesheets, etc.
- Ensure accurately and timely updates to Raiser’s Edge (CRM database).
- Track actions items and work with your senior fundraiser to ensure the timely completion of tasks
- Prepare, coordinate and send (if applicable) routine correspondence, such as pledge reminders, thank you letters, etc.
- Help team members prepare for meetings, by creating and compiling documents
- Provide superior customer service to all TOHF stakeholders (donors, prospects, volunteers, hospital partners, etc.) through email, telephone, and in-person.
- Rotate in person reception coverage of our front-facing offices at the Civic Campus (1053 Carling Avenue), General Campus (501 Smyth Road), and/or Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre (3045 Baseline Road) offices. (Each new hire will be assigned a primary campus to work from.)
Knowledge, skills, abilities:
- Ability to thrive in a dynamic work environment with shifting priorities and time-sensitive deliverables.
- Superior attention to detail.
- Ability to communicate clearly and concisely.
- Strong project management skills and the ability to adapt to changes in projects and timelines.
- Ability to streamline processes by identifying inefficiencies and implementing solutions, particularly through the innovative use of technology.
- Exceptional problem-solving skills.
- Advanced computer skills in Microsoft Office Suite are required. A strong understanding of Raiser’s Edge and Wrike is considered an asset.
Operational requirements:
- Willingness and ability to work outside of regular business hours when needed.
