Development Database & Donor Relations Coordinator
About Mercado Global
Mercado Global is a nonprofit organization that connects sustainable and ethical fashion with the financial independence of rural women artisan entrepreneurs. Through partnerships with brands including Levi Strauss, Stitch Fix, Stuart Weitzman, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's, we help Indigenous women artisans in Latin America earn critical income, keep their children in school, and take on leadership roles in their communities. Since our founding, we have generated nearly $10 million in sales for artisan partners and supported more than 2,000 women entrepreneurs.
Why We Are Hiring
Our donor community is growing — and so is the complexity and importance of the relationships we steward.
This role exists to make sure no relationship slips through the cracks. You will work closely with our Senior Development Manager to track engagements, manage our CRM, and ensure that every donor interaction — from an initial outreach to a multi-year giving relationship — is handled with care and precision. As you grow into the role, you will begin building your own relationships within our donor network, developing a deep understanding of what motivates our supporters and how we can best serve them.
This is a role for someone who thrives in a high-context environment, takes ownership without being asked, and finds genuine satisfaction in making a complex operation run seamlessly behind the scenes.
Position Overview
The Development Database & Donor Relations Coordinator is a critical right-hand position to our Senior Development Manager. You will own our Salesforce database, support donor communications and outreach, and help ensure our fundraising operations are efficient, accurate, and mission-aligned.
Location: Remote — open to candidates based anywhere in Latin America, with a preference for Mexico, Guatemala, or Costa Rica.
Type: Full-Time

You care deeply about the mission and understand that behind every data entry, every acknowledgement letter, and every pipeline report is a real relationship — and ultimately, a real impact on the lives of women artisans across Latin America.
