Chief Revenue Officer

Re:wild • ,

2d • $200,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Re:wild protects and restores the wild. Our mission is to use the wild as the most effective solution to the interconnected climate, biodiversity, and human wellbeing crises. Founded by renowned conservation scientists and Leonardo DiCaprio, Re:wild acts as a force multiplier, uniting Indigenous Peoples, local communities, influential leaders, NGOs, governments, companies, and the public to protect and rewild at the necessary scale and speed. Re:wild is at a pivotal growth stage with a successful global partnership model. We are seeking a world-class revenue leader to match our mission's ambition with the required capital. As Chief Revenue Officer, you will architect Re:wild’s next growth phase, partnering directly with the CEO and Executive Team to build, diversify, and scale the revenue engine. You will operate at the intersection of philanthropic innovation, global finance, and environmental action. Uniquely, Re:wild's core donors fund organizational overhead, meaning 100% of other philanthropic contributions directly co-fund programmatic work, a powerful narrative you will share with mission-aligned donors and institutions.

Requirements

• 10+ years of relevant leadership experience, including at least 5 years in a senior revenue, development, or philanthropic leadership role
• A demonstrated track record of designing and executing multi-year fundraising strategies that materially grow revenue, not just managing existing portfolios
• Experience with sophisticated donor engagement, including major gifts, institutional funding, and/or blended finance or innovative funding mechanisms
• A bold, collaborative leadership style with a proven ability to build and inspire high-performing teams
• High tolerance for ambiguity and demonstrated patience navigating slow-moving or unconventional external stakeholders (e.g., family offices, celebrity representatives, corporate intermediaries) without letting it derail relationships
• Exceptional communication skills, the ability to inspire donors, partners, and internal teams with equal fluency
• Strong operational instincts: you can hold the big vision and make sure the pipeline is accurate
• Familiarity with Salesforce CRM for pipeline management and donor analytics, as well as an interest in adopting AI tools to drive impact and efficiency.
• Understanding of charitable giving legal guidelines and nonprofit compliance
• Genuine commitment to Re:wild’s mission

Nice To Haves

• Background in conservation, environment, or related fields
• Fluency or working proficiency in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, or Bahasa
• Advanced degree in a relevant field

Responsibilities

• Lead the organization’s overall revenue growth strategy, from vision to execution.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for inbound partnership and funding opportunities — assessing legitimacy, fit, and resourcing needs before mobilizing internal teams.
• Grow revenue from $100M in 2026 to $250M by 2030.
• Increase direct programmatic co-funding to on-the-ground partners, aligned with the ‘one plan’ approaches of Re:wild and other international co-funders.
• Lead and inspire Re:wild’s philanthropy team while coordinating closely with Programs, Communications/Marketing, and Operations, whose work is integral to donor identification, cultivation, and stewardship — building capacity within Re:wild’s existing structure rather than a standalone fundraising function.
• Translate complex conservation visions into compelling, investor-grade funding narratives for major donors and innovative finance partners.
• Identify, evaluate, and integrate innovative revenue mechanisms, such as blended finance, conservation bonds, debt-for-nature swaps, relevant market-based mechanisms, ESG-aligned investments, and pooled funding vehicles, into Re:wild’s overall revenue strategy.
• Build and curate philanthropic councils and advisory bodies that expand Re:wild’s network.
• Develop Re:wild’s “beyond donor-advised fund” model, a unique offering that positions Re:wild as a trusted conservation investment advisor for high-net-worth individuals, corporations, and foundations.
• Partner with program teams to understand opportunities and needs, and translate complex conservation visions into compelling, funder-ready investment cases.
• Work closely with the Executive Team to drive support for Re:wild’s highest-priority initiatives, including emerging conservation funding alliances, and with partners, to develop and implement multi-year funding strategies.
• Own Salesforce as Re:wild’s revenue backbone, pipeline visibility, donor stewardship, donor analytics, donor strategy, forecasting, and staff activity.

Benefits

• Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision, with Re:wild covering 68–100% of premiums
• Short- and long-term disability and life insurance
• 403(b) retirement plan with up to 3% employer match (after one year)
• 16 paid holidays annually
• Accrued leave: up to 15 vacation days, 12 sick days, and 2 volunteer days per year
• Significant domestic and international travel expected
• Flexibility to work across global time zones as needed
