Membership Coordinator

AORTA is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) that has advocated for improved passenger rail and public transit in Oregon since 1976. We are seeking a part-time Membership Coordinator to manage our membership program and social media presence. This role will mostly be a asynchronous work that can be accomplished at the coordinator's own pace, and requires a self motivated and well organized person to be successful.

While this role is remote and mostly asynchronous, we are seeking someone located in the Willamette Valley with easy, reliable access to Portland and/or an Amtrak Station.

received online and by mail.

member events.
■ Dues reconciliation. Reconcile membership revenue with the Treasurer monthly.
■ Reporting. Provide a regular membership report to the board covering new, renewed, and lapsed members, totals by tier, and dues revenue.
■ Social media. Plan, write, and schedule content across Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, and LinkedIn; support
advocacy campaigns and membership recruitment; monitor engagement and report on reach and growth.
■ Member communications. Support member email and the monthly newsletter, and maintain accurate email
segments.
■ Events. Support member recruitment and sign-ups at AORTA events, including the annual membership meeting.

NEED TO HAVE

■ Experience managing a membership, donor, or customer database (CiviCRM, Salesforce, Little Green Light, or
comparable).
■ Experience managing organizational social media accounts, including writing and scheduling content.
■ Strong written communication and attention to detail in data entry and recordkeeping.
■ Discretion in handling member personal and payment information.
■ Ability to work independently, manage a schedule, and meet recurring deadlines without daily supervision.
■ Availability for occasional evening or weekend meetings and events.

NICE TO HAVE

■ Nonprofit membership, fundraising, or volunteer coordination experience.
■ Familiarity with MailChimp, Canva, and social media scheduling and analytics tools.
■ Interest in or knowledge of passenger rail, public transit, or sustainable transportation policy

BASIC DETAILS

■ 6-month contract term with strong possibility for contract renewal at the end of the term.
■ We expect the work load to average out below 10 hours a week.
■ This role is open to anyone in the Willamette Valley with reliable access to public transit.
■ This is a largely asynchronous role with low management. However, there will be a few regular meetings.
■ Target start date is early/mid-December.
