Role Title: Donor Relations Automation and Data Intern
Organisation: UWA Development and Alumni Relations
Internship Period: Semester 2 (July – October)
Location: UWA Crawley
The Development and Alumni Relations (DAR) team oversees The University of Western Australia’s alumni, philanthropic and community strategies.
This exciting internship opportunity in the Donor Relations team within DAR focuses on enhancing donor engagement through automation, process design and refinement, data analysis and content development. This internship offers hands-on experience in philanthropic data management, donor stewardship planning, and process automation.
The primary project for this role is to create an automated process for the collection of data and refine a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution using Power Automate – which contribute to the automated creation of personalised stewardship reports for donors.
This automation will amplify the impact of donor communications by streamlining repetitive, rule-based tasks and revitalising current processes. The reports will include qualitative and quantitative impact data, containing information around award recipients and thank you messages.
Working closely with the Donor Relations team, the intern may embark on a secondary project if time permits, supporting data analysis, database management, and stewardship coordination activities that enhance overall donor engagement strategies.
A unique opportunity to apply skills in process automation, coding, data analysis and strategic communications within a real-world philanthropic context. The ideal candidate should have Power Automate experience.
