Warehouse Associate

Director Of Development Operations

Our client, a mission-driven non-profit organization, is seeking a Director of Development Operations to strengthen the systems, strategies, and materials that support sustainable fundraising. This is a behind-the-scenes leadership role focused on data, analytics, grants, and donor-engagement infrastructure—not frontline solicitation. Success in this position requires an individual who works independently, manages deadlines without reminders, and follows through on commitments with consistency. The ideal candidate is highly self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable supporting others to fundraise with confidence.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading development operations, including fundraising plans, donor pipelines, KPI reporting, and performance dashboards.
• Managing the donor CRM, ensuring accurate data, segmentation, reporting, and standardized processes for gift entry and acknowledgment.
• Researching, writing, and submitting grant proposals and reports; maintaining a comprehensive grants calendar and ensuring timely submissions.
• Preparing briefing materials, talking points, and "talk tracks" to assist the Executive Director and Board in engaging current and prospective donors.
• Participating in select meetings with board-referred contacts to help communicate the organization's impact and funding priorities.
• Supporting donor communication efforts in partnership with marketing and program staff.

Qualifications include:

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in development operations, advancement services, or a related strategic role (analytics, sales operations, marketing strategy, or similar).
• Strong analytical ability and proficiency with CRM platforms and reporting tools.
• Excellent writing skills, especially in grant development and donor-focused communication.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects independently and meet deadlines.
• Highly organized, proactive, and committed to accuracy and follow-through.
• Willingness to work in an on-site, in-person role, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with occasional special events hours required.

Ideal candidates take initiative without direction and thrive in an autonomous work environment. They enjoy building systems and improving processes for donor outreach and stewardship. They excel at providing clear, compelling written materials to support leadership and board fundraising efforts. They balance technical skills with strong communication abilities.

This position will likely be a direct hire, meaning that Snelling would work with you through the consideration and interview process and if an offer is extended, employment would begin on the client employer's payroll as their employee. Pay for this position is in the range of $50,000 to $55,000 annually. A monthly health insurance reimbursement and matching retirement savings plan contribution is available. Time off includes 12 days annually for vacation, 12 days of sick leave and 16 holidays. Contact Snelling today with information about your relevant experience to learn more.
