Manager
National Kidney Foundation
New York, NY
Job Title: Development Operations & Analytics Manager
Location: Remote WHO WE ARE Fueled by passion and urgency, the National Kidney Foundation is a lifeline for all people affected by kidney disease. As pioneers of scientific research and innovation, NKF focuses on the whole patient through the lens of kidney health. Relentless in our work, we enhance lives through action, education, and accelerating change.
WHAT WE BELIEVE IN NKF's Mission is what we do, our Values are how we do it.

This is more than a support role. It is responsible for translating NKF's growth priorities-particularly in major giving, peer-to-peer fundraising, and digital donor engagement-into scalable systems, reliable data, and actionable insights. The right candidate will be equally comfortable troubleshooting a Salesforce integration and presenting a dashboard analysis to senior leadership. NKF's Field Strategy & Operations team is in a period of intentional transformation, concentrating expertise to drive measurable impact across five priorities: growing major and planned giving, aligning operations with industry performance standards, enhancing donor stewardship, transforming Kidney Walk into an industry-leading event, and advancing data-driven decision-making. This role sits at the intersection of all five.
