This senior-level position requires a seasoned professional with a minimum of 10 years' experience in complex development and fundraising, a proven track record of meeting and exceeding ambitious goals, and the ability to autonomously develop and execute long-term strategies for donor acquisition, cultivation, and retention. The role involves direct management of a donor portfolio, working closely with Executive Directors and regional advisory board members, and may include mentoring or managing other development staff.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree, with a preference for a Master's degree or fundraising certification, and a strong understanding of current trends in philanthropy. Responsibilities also include maintaining donor information in the CRM system, and the role may require occasional weekend or evening work, as well as travel to engage with local donors.
