HR Business Partner

MissionWired and BWF Zuri are sister companies with a shared purpose: helping nonprofits and progressive organizations raise the money that moves their missions forward. Together, we walk alongside our partners through the whole donor journey, from building communities of supporters at scale to landing the transformational gifts that change what’s possible.

We know fundraising is getting harder. Fewer people are giving, everyone is competing for attention, goals keep growing, and technology and AI are changing how supporters connect with the causes they care about. Our partners need people who will dream big with them, then roll up their sleeves and make it happen.

At MissionWired, we help nonprofit organizations and Democratic campaigns advance their revenue and cause. By unifying direct response programs – from email, direct mail, and advertising to analytics, creative, and acquisition – we’ve helped raise over $5 billion for our partners. Our team brings tech intelligence, empathetic storytelling, and an unrivaled agility to every partnership. We proudly work alongside world-changing nonprofit clients including Human Rights Watch, Innocence Project, and the American Red Cross – as well as major Democratic committees and competitive Senate and gubernatorial races.

At BWF Zuri, the nonprofit sector’s most comprehensive fundraising consulting firm, we support every step of the donor journey. That means the systems and programs that keep supporters engaged, the strategies that inspire generosity, and the expertise it takes to secure major gifts and make every donor feel valued.

At heart, we’re progress-obsessed do-gooders who care deeply about social change. We bring deep expertise, fresh thinking, and talented people to every partnership, all in service of stronger fundraising, closer donor relationships, and lasting impact.

As an equal-opportunity employer dedicated to building and sustaining an inclusive community, we are deeply committed to equality, equity, and inclusion. Representation and diversity of thought strengthen our work with clients to change the world.

Every new team member broadens our perspective and allows us to think bigger. We’ll be at our best when people from underrepresented communities and people with a range of perspectives and lived experiences want to come, stay, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
