North Carolina State University (NC State) was founded in 1887 with the purpose of creating economic, societal, and intellectual prosperity for the people of North Carolina. Today it is the largest university in North Carolina with more than 34,000 high-performing students, 8,000 pre-eminent faculty and staff and 205,000 alumni. NC State is known for its leadership in research, education, and service and, as a research extensive university, is recognized for its strengths in science, engineering, and technology. The University consistently ranks among the top public national universities and one of the best values in higher education.
The mission of University Advancement is to secure support for NC State University in terms of dollars, service, and engagement by delivering an integrated program of development, alumni relations, communications and marketing, and advancement services. Our objective is to build deep and long-term relationships with alumni and other stakeholders, and partners that will ensure increased support to NC State in the future.
Advancement Services provides timely, accurate and actionable resources to enhance fundraising and engagement activities at NC State University. We achieve this through effective business intelligence and reporting, compelling donor research and analysis, innovative technology, quality donor and alumni information, and superior customer service, all while applying ethical gift and data management practices. Advancement Services supports the operations of Alumni Relations, University Development & University Communications. The unit oversees the University’s alumni & donor database, AdvanceTM, Advance BI systems, processes gifts and conducts research about potential contribution opportunities. Advancement Services also maintains financial records, conducts donor research, receipts corporate & individual private gifts following the NC State Standard Operating Procedures for Acceptance of Gifts, administers the corporate matching gifts program, updates & verifies alumni records, manages donor prospect tracking systems, plans and manages gift agreements & endowment reports.
Essential Job Duties
We’re looking for our next Business Intelligence analyst to join a collaborative team of five experienced analysts in a fast-paced and innovative environment where we are responsible for proactively providing data visualizations and reports that support NC State’s philanthropic and alumni engagement efforts.
Now is the right time to join our Analytics & Data Services team; as NC State celebrates the end of our successful $2 billion Think and Do the Extraordinary campaign, our team is focusing on enhancing our analytics and data strategies with a Tableau implementation, a complete revamp of our analytics and reporting strategy and an enhanced focus on customer consultation and outreach. This new strategy will help us evolve from strictly delivering data to more proactively providing key performance indicators (KPIs) and helpful metrics with which fundraisers can track their progress and performance. Dashboards and other self-service solutions are becoming a key part of our entire fundraising operation as they set a common place by which all staff can access important information.
In addition to our analytics overhaul, NC State anticipates the implementation of a new Advancement CRM over the next two years, which will provide more opportunities for our team to help set the future direction of how data is used in University Advancement. Reporting to the Director of Analytics & Data Services, this position will be eligible for flexible/hybrid (not 100% remote) work arrangements.
