Key Responsibilities

Strategic Fundraising & Revenue Growth

• Lead $15M+ portfolios across annual giving, year-end appeals, impact-based campaigns, and recurring giving programs
• Drive sustainable growth by designing cohesive lifecycle strategies that balance immediate cash needs with the creation of innovation products, including the migration of child sponsorship into the "Her Defenders" unrestricted monthly giving program

Influence and Donor Experience

• Utilize donor behavior data and segmentation to create tailored, persuasive communications across digital and traditional channels
• Translate programmatic work into compelling narratives that effectively communicate the organization's impact to drive donor retention

People Leadership and Collaboration

• Lead and inspire a high-performing team, implementing scalable systems that support continuous improvement and a shared growth mindset
• Foster a healthy, inclusive workplace culture that values diversity, equity, and belonging alongside rigorous performance goals and accountability

• You will frequently collaborate with the Director of Principal Gifts, Senior Director of Communications, Director of Development Operations and Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships to align communications, brand, and fundraising.
