About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Advancement Officer to lead a division at a pivotal moment. The successful candidate will be responsible for stabilizing and re-energizing a large, talented team, and for forging strong partnerships with scientists, educators, and Board members to activate them as philanthropic partners. This hands-on role requires a builder with a growth mindset, a proven track record of success, and a deep commitment to the values of the institution. The Chief Advancement Officer will play a key role in shaping a comprehensive campaign and is expected to work closely with the Executive Director and Board, particularly during the early days of the Executive Director's transition. The ideal candidate for the Chief Advancement Officer position at the company is an enthusiastic, activating doer with strong personal follow-through, an enterprise thinker who can partner across various disciplines, and a talented storyteller. They should be a thoughtful and generous leader, deeply rooted in the Bay Area philanthropy, and committed to the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The role is pivotal in the institution's current phase, and the candidate should be prepared to lead the division through a period of real change while maintaining a focus on the future and the internal culture. The position is not just about fundraising; it is about building and nurturing relationships that are essential to the mission of the institution.
