WHO SUCCEEDS AT SHATTERPROOF  

Shatterproof is in a period of transformative and rapid growth. We are building new systems, reimagining how work gets done, and creating more cross-functional alignment to accelerate our mission.  

To thrive here, you should be energized by building, not just maintaining — and excited to bring structure, clarity, and innovation to evolving spaces.  

We’re looking for team members who:  

• Build systems and processes from the ground up and improve them continuously as we scale.  
• Take ownership and act with a builder’s mindset, bringing forward solutions rather than waiting for direction.  
• Influence and collaborate across teams, shaping work through strong communication and relationship-building.  
• Move quickly, learn fast, and adapt with resilience, especially in a high-growth, high-impact environment.  
• Are mission-driven and motivated to leave their mark on an organization working to reverse the addiction crisis.  

THE ROLE 

Shatterproof is seeking a Director, Corporate & Strategic Partnerships to help grow corporate investment in our mission and build strong, long-term relationships with companies committed to addressing addiction and behavioral health. 

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the Director will be a key member of the Development team responsible for building and managing a robust corporate pipeline, cultivating new partners, growing existing relationships, and securing significant corporate revenue. The Director will manage relationships across corporate philanthropy, sponsorship, employee engagement and other strategic partnership opportunities, connecting corporate priorities with Shatterproof’s mission and opportunities for engagement. 

Working closely with the Vice President, Corporate Partnership Strategy & Impact, the Director will bring corporate needs, interests and opportunities into the organization while leveraging Shatterproof’s programs, platforms and engagement strategies to build compelling partnerships. The Director will maintain primary accountability for the development side of the corporate partnership lifecycle — from prospecting and cultivation through solicitation, stewardship, renewal and growth. 

This role is ideal for a relationship-driven fundraiser and business developer who can build a pipeline, open doors, navigate complex corporate relationships and turn shared interests into meaningful, multi-year investment.
