Senior Member Engagement Specialist in SACRAMENTO, California at CapRadio

As a 100% community-supported organization, CapRadio’s Member Engagement team plays a critical role in sustaining our public service mission by interacting with our members, maintaining donation records, creating personalized touchpoints and communications, and strengthening the connection we have with our community. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, collaborative team that is building a strong and sustainable future for public media in the region.

Who We’re Looking For

CapRadio is seeking a relationship-oriented and detail-focused Senior Member Engagement Specialist to support our membership operations and provide exceptional service to the community members who sustain public media.
