Responsibilities

• Connect program pilots to potential funders. We’ve got lots of ideas, both outlandish and great. You know exactly who would want to fund them and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and make it happen
• Up-level CEO fundraising efforts. The current fundraising team provides basic support that facilitated tens of millions of dollars raised in 2024. You’ll attempt to improve on this
• Hold key relationships with donors. You’ll personally hold relationships with folks that can give between $50,000-$500,000
• Coach VPs to be fundraisers. Our VPs have some fundraising experience but they need your help getting into top form
• Management & Leadership. You’ll coach, mentor, and support Development Team members, helping to develop their skills and providing opportunities to grow. You will participate in meetings and projects to advance the organizational vision collaboratively with other senior directors while representing the needs of your team
• Develop new donation streams. While we have 13,000 volunteers on our Slack, we haven’t invested in any fundraising outside of our largest donors. This open space is your opportunity

Preferred Qualifications

• A strong track record in managing people. You can motivate a high-performing team to knock it out of the park according to the metrics you helped set. As a manager, you know how to delegate skillfully and give meaningful feedback. You have experience holding a team accountable and providing support and direction for growing edges. You are well organized and have excellent time management skills. You have experience managing staff who work remotely.
