Development Manager

Who Thrives in This Role If you’re someone who needs constant direction or prefers to execute tasks assigned by others, this won't be the right fit.

Someone who sees opportunity where others see obstacles, who can own their work, think strategically, and execute daily without waiting to be told what to do. You’re collaborative and team-oriented, but you also take responsibility for outcomes. You don’t just support fundraising efforts, you drive them forward.
