Sr. Salesforce Administrator (Volunteer)

*Note: The following is an opportunity for flexible, part-time, volunteer work. Please DO NOT APPLY if you are only looking for paid employment.* This is a remote-from-home position

 

WhoWhatWhy is seeking a part-time, entry level Salesforce administrator to assist in operations which include, but are not limited to, data management, creating documentation, and configuration/administration with related donor management systems.  

 

WhoWhatWhy offers an opportunity to do exciting, meaningful work in concert with other smart and talented professionals committed to producing, publicizing, and funding great content in the public interest.

 

Check out WhoWhatWhy.org. You’ll quickly see that we’re a credible solution to the raging debate over whether the news is “fake” or not,” with agenda-free research and bracingly fresh analysis. Not left-wing, not right-wing, not consensus-seeking. We just want the truth — whatever it is. 

 

And because we’re straight to the point, we make clear that we’re a nonprofit that wasn’t funded by a zillionaire and that we decline to accept corporate ads. Our revenue is entirely based on public support, and our budget is modest, so we currently rely primarily on motivated, skilled individuals who work as volunteers. However, anyone who can help us significantly improve our fundraising can expect to move toward compensation over time. 

 

If you are ready to plunge into an exciting “disruption” of the news space — and can commit to 6-8 hours a week on an ongoing, weekly basis, working remotely on your own schedule, with occasional meetings during traditional business hours (Eastern time) — we’d love to hear from you.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
