The Vice President of Development role offers a full-time position with competitive salary and comprehensive benefits. This position is designed for professionals who want to make a significant impact while developing their leadership talents and professional skills.
Role Summary and Day-to-Day
The core of this job revolves around leading major fundraising events such as the Heart Walk, Cycle Nation, and Go Red for Women Luncheon. Day-to-day, you’ll collaborate closely with a driven team, nurture donor relationships, and set growth strategies for impactful campaigns. A major part of your work will be coaching direct reports, developing leadership talent, and inspiring others to achieve revenue and mission targets.

The expectations for travel are high and the pace is fast, so be ready for a role that demands agility, motivation, and a strategic mindset. You’ll be held accountable for high growth and major goals, so the pressure can be significant.
Verdict
For driven leaders who are passionate about making an impact and have experience coaching teams to success, this is a compelling opportunity.
