- Jan 2012 - PresentFreelance Consultant in Web Project Management and Online Marketing / Matt Koltermann Consulting
I'm also a freelance consultant specializing in web project management and front-end development for nonprofit organizations and socially-responsible businesses, with a particular focus on open-source technology and content management systems such as Drupal and WordPress.
I do everything from facilitating collaborative discovery sessions on information architecture, configuring new hosting hosting environments, building websites, and training end-users on large projects to providing ongoing technical, strategic, and project management support as a web development and online marketing specialist-on-call.
- Sept 2010 - Jun 2012Online Marketing & Development Manager / Action Against Hunger | ACF-USA
At the U.S. headquarters office of Action Against Hunger, an international nonprofit organization with humanitarian operations in over 40 countries, I led online marketing, online fundraising, and marketing technology strategy which covered websites, peer-to-peer fundraising, social media, SEO/SEM, email marketing, mobile marketing, ecommerce, hosting and domain administration, and conversion optimization.
Highlights of my accomplishments include a record-breaking year for online fundraising in 2011 due to the successful relaunch of actionagainsthunger.org and our social fundraising platform, dramatically improved conversion rates resulting from rigorous A/B testing, a 300% increase in traffic from improved pay-per-click marketing strategy, a 600% increase in email capture rate using conversion optimization techniques, and an increase in organic search traffic by 110% from deliberate search engine optimization.
Additionally, I launched a hosted applicant tracking platform responsible for managing hiring workflows for over 1,000 job applicants each month, greatly improving HR scalability and efficiency, and provided legacy system migration and training to over a dozen internal users.
- Feb 2010 - Aug 2010Senior Manager of Community Engagement / Cross-Cultural Solutions
After being promoted at Cross-Cultural Solutions, my responsibilities shifted to focus on interdepartmental project management and marketing technology strategy.
I led projects to improve organizational knowledge management, including data capture, validation, and normalization initiatives; automate workflows; integrate systems; and integrate online social engagement strategy into support and outreach activities. I also became an administrator and trainer of web applications for website content management (Sitecore 6), constituent relationship management (Salesforce), email marketing (ExactTarget), chat (Activa Live Chat), and surveying (QuestionPro) systems.
Highlights of my achievements included developing online surveys utilizing complex logic and advanced CRM integration, which increased the response rate over 200%; and migrating an extensive image library to a hosted digital asset management platform. I also authored the organization’s first social media policy for staff, and ensured brand consistency across multichannel online marketing initiatives.
- Mar 2008 - Feb 2010Communications Manager / Cross-Cultural Solutions
At Cross-Cultural Solutions, a nonprofit organization that provides volunteer abroad experiences to thousands of people every year, I researched and selected the organization’s first website content management system (Sitecore 6), developed the information architecture, successfully facilitated the migration of thousands of content items, administered security roles, provisioned users, collaborated with developers, and created testing scenarios as project manager for organization’s website relaunch, which was successfully delivered on-time and within a tight deadline.
Other highlights include developing a comprehensive brand monitoring and industry-leading social media strategy while internally evangelizing social media as critical to constituent engagement and creating brand awareness. I also improved email marketing strategy by creating well-designed and cross-client compatible HTML email templates leveraging reusable and dynamic content (using ExactTarget), which dramatically improved subscriber engagement and enabled non-technical staff to efficiently create content and automate marketing processes.
- Nov 2005 - Oct 2007Community Outreach Manager / Idealist.org
At Idealist.org, a nonprofit organization that connects people, organizations, and resources to help build a world where all people can live free and dignified lives, I managed an interdepartmental project team responsible for the successful launch and support of an international initiative that encouraged Idealist members to hold face-to-face community meetings, resulting in over 400 events taking place in 80 countries over three months; conceived and spearheaded the editorial development of Idealist's Community Action Center, a comprehensive online resource for people who are inspired to improve their communities; created and maintained review standards for several types of online user-generated content; and cultivated relationships with Idealist members to provide one-on-one support for their community meetings, solicited feedback on our programs, and developed interest stories for user inspiration.
I managed a full-time associate and occasional interns, and had been highly involved in the recruitment and training processes for many other full-time staff members, interns, and volunteers.
- Sept 2005 - Oct 2005Applicant Services Specialist/Crisis Corps Volunteer / FEMA/Peace Corps
Within 48 hours of being notified that former Peace Corps Volunteers were being recruited to support disaster relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I arrived in Orlando, Florida to receive FEMA training before being sent to rural Louisiana to advise and provide ongoing case management to hundreds of Hurricane Katrina victims at a Disaster Recovery Center on FEMA aid processes and connect them to relevant local services for food, clothing, shelter, and health care. I also trained five new Specialists on FEMA’s proprietary web-based case management application, FEMA’s service processes, and appropriate communication skills for assisting distressed evacuees.
- Dec 2004 - Sept 2005Administrative Assistant/Junior Consultant / J. Ottman Consulting, Inc.
At J. Ottman Consulting, a marketing firm specializing in environmentally-responsible products, I managed workshop logistics, wrote proposals, researched presentation content, and co-developed an improved brand and communications strategy for Design:Green, an emerging workshop series in sustainable design for consumer products. I also researched and developed a draft of the agency’s proprietary consulting tool intended to reduce environmental impact through design innovation, co-authored a topical article for an industry business magazine, relaunched the agency’s website, and supervised interns.
- Mar 2005 - Aug 2005Intern / GreenOrder
As an intern at GreenOrder, an environmental sustainability consulting agency, I researched and produced quantitative environmental claims and advanced calculators for marketing executives at General Electric involved in launching the global “Ecomagination” campaign, including those for hybrid locomotives, agricultural surfactants, and aircraft engines.
- Sept 2002 - Sept 2004Small Enterprise Development/Information & Communication Technology (SED/ICT) Volunteer / Peace Corps
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with several community-based organizations to improve their business practices and increase their computer literacy. At a micro-enterprise support organization and ecotourism project, I developed computerized financial management tools and standardized business processes that resulted in a 30% reduction of administrative expenses and accounts receivable.
Additionally, I created a comprehensive business plan to leverage underutilized resources and reduce donor dependency for a regional training center in organic farming, presented basic business skills workshops to informal sector artisans in English and Kiswahili, and provided one-on-one consulting services to micro-entrepreneurs.
I was also elected by my SED/ICT peers to serve as the chairperson of national sector advancement committee, and spearheaded the design and management of a two-week technical training curriculum for new SED volunteers.
