- Oversee Grants & Events: Manage grants lifecycle and lead signature events like Harc’s Gala and Walk N Roll.
- Shape Our Story: Oversee Marketing and Communication Manager to deliver compelling campaigns, donor communications, and brand-aligned messaging.
- Inspire & Lead: Supervise a talented team (Events Manager, Marketing and Communications Manager, and Grant Writer) and engage board committees to amplify impact.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven Fundraiser: 5–7+ years in development with success in individual giving, events, and grants.
- Relationship Builder: Skilled in cultivating major donors and corporate sponsors with integrity and discretion.
- Strategic Communicator: Exceptional writer and storyteller who can inspire donors and partners.
- Team Leader: Experience managing staff and collaborating across departments.
- Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with CRM systems, digital campaigns, and data-driven strategies
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Mission That Matters: Every dollar raised transforms lives.
- Collaborative Culture: A small, passionate team with a big impact.
- Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive salary, 94% employer-paid medical premiums, generous PTO, 401(k) with a generous employer contribution, and more.
