CadenceLeadershipMentoring

About the role

Own the number - the pipeline, the forecast, and the path to it - steering fundraising and volunteer engagement efforts day to day across our organization.
Build and run the fundraising operating system (KPIs, dashboards, meeting rhythms, pipeline reviews) that gives leadership a clear view of performance and projections.
Manage budget and resourcing, anticipating seasonal shifts in donor activity and adjusting plans accordingly.
Build, coach, and develop a high-performing fundraising team that multiplies our collective velocity rather than carrying it alone.
Build a culture of trust, ownership, and continuous improvement among the people you lead - across both fundraisers and operations team members.
Bring in the CEO and Board strategically to help close 6- and 7-figure gifts on your timeline, deliberately and proactively utilizing leaders to drive your pipeline.
Scale the only organization in the world developing purpose-driven, principled future finance leaders with the character to steward the world's capital for good.

Proven ability to set and execute a fundraising or revenue strategy with clear goals, data-driven decisions, and measurable outcomes.
Proven capacity as a "Multiplier": you know how to multiply the intelligence of your team and get the best from people.

Experience leading major campaigns, capital campaigns, growth campaigns, or transformational gift strategies.
Experience in startups, scaleups, or high-growth environments.
Time in (or experience working with) the finance industry at any type of firm, for any length of time.
That said, we've found that big-picture, long-term systems thinkers who want to make a huge impact in the world also get very excited about what we do.
