The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that all philanthropic revenue, including gifts, pledges, endowments, and complex giving vehicles, is handled with the utmost integrity, transparency, and in full compliance with regulatory standards. This role involves direct supervision of the gift processing function, close partnership with development finance, and the establishment of enterprise-wide standards for gift administration, financial reporting, and risk management. The Executive Director will also serve as a senior executive advisor, partnering with the Chief Development Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other leaders to inform institutional decision-making related to philanthropic revenue and transformational giving strategies. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should have a strong background in financial strategy, executive advisory roles, and managerial oversight. The role requires the ability to lead through influence in a highly matrixed environment, balancing long-range strategy with the stewardship of day-to-day operations. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in setting strategic direction, approving financial models, and establishing governance for philanthropic financial operations. A high level of autonomy and authority is expected, as is the ability to operate with delegated authority to set policies and ensure the financial sustainability of the organization's philanthropic efforts.
