Job Description: 

Net Impact, a global leader in the sustainable business movement, seeks an experienced, entrepreneurial, and ambitious Director of Development to provide leadership to its growing fundraising initiatives. Already raising $800,000 in gifts and grants annually towards an operating budget of $1.7 million, Net Impact's strong growth and growing global reputation require a professionalization and formalization of its already considerable charitable and philanthropic efforts. We seek a strategic thinker as well as accomplished and proven fundraiser who can implement a "best practice" development program in a dynamic and increasingly global membership-based organization.
Key Roles and Responsibilities

* To write and implement a detailed and measurable development plan in support of the organization's mission and strategic plan.
* To meet or exceed specific, agreed, annual metrics across the development program.
* To build a strong pipeline of future gifts while meeting short term goals.
* To put into place the infrastructure - technology, systems, processes, procedures, budget, etc. - which will support that plan, assure professionalism, and encourage "best practice."
* To significantly broaden and deepen Net Impact's current support from corporations and foundations.
* To grow the prospect pool to include individuals, especially high net worth individuals, who share the mission and vision of Net Impact.
* To undertake targeted prospect identification and solicitation internationally in key, strategic countries and regions.
* To support the Executive Director and maximize her considerable talents in the communication of the mission, vision, and case for support; and to support her in the successful cultivation and solicitation of leadership and major gifts.
* To assist the Executive Director in the clarification of the role and relationship of fundraising with membership.
* To supervise (mentor, lead, and monitor) a small team of dedicated fundraisers.
* Other duties as assigned by the Executive Director

Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have at least four years of development experience, and demonstrated success in both the planning and execution of a comprehensive and measurable fundraising plan. Additionally, s/he will demonstrate the following:

* Ability to be a persuasive development writer, including grant proposals, cases for support, appeal letters, etc.
* A ‘self-starter' with a high energy level consistent with the demands of ‘discovery calls' and other efforts to increase significantly the quantity and quality of a diverse prospect pool.
* Capacity to communicate verbally in a compelling, persuasive, and concise manner the exciting mission, vision, and plans of Net Impact with the goal of securing gifts, grants, and corporate investments.
* Comfort with a very hands-on, collaborative, fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and opportunistic fundraising environment typical of "start-up" development operations, while at the same time bringing greater strategic and long-term deliberative discussion to the table.
* Experience in the identification, recruitment, and motivation of volunteers for fundraising.
* Numerical literacy, including accurate budgeting, expenditure and income forecasting, data analysis, reporting, etc.
* Integrity and a commitment to the highest ethical standards.
* A basic understanding of, and appreciation for, the business and corporate world, its workings and culture, and its engagement with sustainability and social responsibility issues.

This is an exciting opportunity for a person committed to a career in development who wishes to tackle the full range of duties expected of a chief development officer and who desires to see both an immediate and a long term impact of his/her work in planning, managing, leading, and executing a development program.
