  • Responsible for raising $2.5 million in direct support annually.
  • Cultivate and manage an active portfolio of five, six, and seven-figure prospects through identification, research, solicitation and stewardship.
  • Implement a comprehensive annual giving strategy that includes personal solicitation, direct mail, institutional giving, and fundraising events management. This will include individuals, corporations and foundations in early-stage cultivation and/or with whom the council has little to no relationship.
  • Recruit, train, inspire, and staff volunteer committees of fundraising events.

  • Complete other duties as assigned.

EXPERIENCE / SKILLS REQUIRED (AM I RIGHT FOR THIS JOB?)

You have a proven track-record of fundraising leadership and revenue success. And you are rarely satisfied with the idea that doing it the way it has always been done is always the way to keep doing it. You have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college, and eight years of experience in donor development, sales, business development or a similar field. Extensive knowledge of the Silicon Valley and Monterey County philanthropic market and Certified Fund-Raising Executive (CFRE) certification are preferred, but you know lots of people without that certification that are still fundraising rockstars. You meet Scouting’s leadership and membership standards and subscribe to the Scout Oath and Law. Prior experience in Scouting is not required.

You LOVE taking the initiative and creating bigger, better, faster and stronger results, and you thrive in a macro-management environment. You have never met a stranger and you jump at chances to engage in front of small groups and large. You have a tee-shirt that says “I love multitasking.” Or maybe you don’t, but it would describe you well. You can transition from zip-lining at Scout camp with a donor in the morning to donning evening attire for a formal dinner in Pebble Beach all in the same day. You communicate clearly and with confidence, and you understand how listening more than talking can be a powerful fundraising tool. You are bored if everyday is like the last and if you were a fighter jet pilot, your call-sign would be “adaptability.” You bring your A-game everyday and you want to be around other people like you.

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES:

  • Integrity.
  • Excellent communication skills; written, oral, presentation skills. Can speak from the heart.
  • Superb listening skills.
  • Strong organizational skills with ability to drive initiatives to closure.
  • Confidence.
  • Charisma and enthusiasm.
  • Establishes collaborative working relationships.
  • Open to coaching and taking direction.
  • Passionate about the Scouting mission.
  • Able to give focused attention to donors.
  • High energy level, which translates to enthusiasm on the job.
  • Must be a self-starter.

COMPENSATION:

Salary commensurate and negotiable with skill and experience, in a hiring range of $120,000 to $140,000. Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council is an equal opportunity employer – if you have the talent and commitment, we want you to apply. In addition to offering a competitive salary, the position offers benefits to include major medical, prescription coverage, dental, vision, life-insurance, long-term disability, a matching 403(b) retirement plan, plus reimbursement for authorized and approved business expenses. We also offer a generous PTO policy starting at 18 days, maxing out at 30 and 12 paid holidays per year.
