Senior Director, Campaign- Broward

Senior Director Of Campaign

The Senior Director of Campaign serves as the senior architect of the Federation's mid-level Annual Campaign growth strategy, leading the design and execution of a reimagined donor platform focused on gifts between $1,000 and $9,999.

This leader drives a dual strategy by:

• Evolving traditional affinity-based models into broader, more dynamic philanthropic pathways
• Building micro-communities and neighborhood-based ecosystems across Broward County to deepen connection, strengthen loyalty, and accelerate philanthropic growth

Reporting directly to the Vice President of the Annual Campaign, the Senior Director oversees the full lifecycle of midlevel donors, ensuring that solicitation, stewardship, recognition, and engagement are strategic, data-informed, and community-centered.

This role blends vision with execution: cultivating community while increasing revenue, scaling engagement while improving retention, and building a structured pipeline that meaningfully advances donors toward higher levels of giving and leadership.

The Senior Director also serves as the professional lead for key campaign moments, including Ultimate Nite Out, ensuring these experiences are fully integrated into the broader cultivation strategy and micro-community framework.
