This is an opportunity to build a rigorous, data-driven practice that directly impacts Neon One's growth and our mission to help nonprofits grow. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports, you will work closely with our marketing website developer and content manager, collaborating on implementation where needed while owning strategy and reporting across all three functions.
