As the Development Director, this person will play a critical role in increasing Global Partners in Life’s annual contributions. This position is designed to report directly to the President, yet work independently and remotely.  The Development Director will serve as a key leadership team member and an active participant in making strategic decisions affecting Global Partners in Life. In partnership with the president, this position is responsible for leading all fundraising and development activities. The successful candidate will help forge new relationships to build Global Partners in Life’s visibility, impact, and financial resources. The Development Director will also design and implement a comprehensive plan for developing key external relationships while cultivating individual and philanthropic support.

The Development Director will have primary responsibility for establishing and implementing the infrastructure needed to grow our funding through the solicitation of major gifts, grants, special events, corporate and foundation support.
