About the Role
The Company is seeking a Chief Development Officer to spearhead its fundraising, partnerships, and advancement strategy. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and executing a comprehensive development plan to support the organization's ambitious goal of expanding its reach. This role requires a seasoned development leader with a proven track record in strategic fundraising, particularly in individual and major giving. The Chief Development Officer will be expected to lead a team, optimize direct response programs, and manage a diversified portfolio of supporters. Key responsibilities include setting and meeting revenue targets, strengthening donor stewardship, and promoting a culture of philanthropy.

Experience in major and legacy giving, as well as a familiarity with the philanthropic landscape in the relevant regions, is highly desirable. The Chief Development Officer will also be responsible for engaging the Board in fundraising efforts and must be prepared to work closely with the executive team, staff, and volunteers to ensure the success of the organization's philanthropic initiatives.
