18d • $155,000 - $165,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

This is a rare opportunity to lead philanthropy at an organization with a strong, established funding base and a proven model of impact. Building on this solid foundation, One Family is seeking a strategic leader with a demonstrated ability to bring in new revenue and drive significant growth. As a key member of the executive team, the Senior Director of Development will help set organization-wide strategy alongside senior leadership, build and execute a bold revenue strategy, expand One Family's funding base, elevate its brand, and deepen donor relationships, at a pivotal moment in the organization's growth. One Family enters this moment from a position of strength: a $2.7 million budget for FY2027, anchored by a solid base of philanthropic support and a $1.7 million philanthropic revenue target. You will have the resources, stability, and leadership support to build on this foundation—pursuing new funding streams, building strategic partnerships, and leading a talented three-person team.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience leading a development function at the Director, Senior Director, or equivalent level—or comparable scope, ownership, and results, even without the formal title
• A quantifiable track record of personally driving significant philanthropic revenue growth over multiple years, with clear ownership of a development function and its results
• Success in securing high five- and six-figure gifts and grants across individual, foundation, and corporate giving

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to represent an organization across diverse stakeholders
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously

• Develop and execute a multi-year philanthropic growth strategy spanning corporate, foundation, and individual giving
• Use fundraising data, pipeline analysis, and historical performance to actively manage revenue: setting realistic targets, prioritizing opportunities, allocating resources, and course-correcting when performance is off track
• Develop strategies to engage and acquire new donors and funders across individual, corporate, and foundation giving
• Cultivate and steward relationships with major donors, board members, foundations, and corporate funders, including high five- and six-figure gifts and grants
