• Lead high-impact grant development: Spearhead the writing and submission of major, strategically aligned proposals that meet high internal quality standards
  
• Build a long-term roadmap: Design a clear "prospect-to-partner" journey that ensures a smooth transition from the first conversation to a signed, long-term agreement.
  

Other Responsibilities:

• Streamline the growth system: Review and improve existing internal processes—from how we use our CRM to how we manage our pipeline—to ensure no lead or relationship falls through the cracks.

• Basic understanding of CRM management and pipeline tracking; you believe that data-driven fundraising is the most effective fundraising.
  
• Experience in coaching or leading teams, with the patience and clarity to transfer your skills to our internal staff.
