About the Organization
Moms First, formerly Marshall Plan for Moms, is a national nonprofit transforming our workplaces, our government, and our culture to enable moms in America to thrive. Our grassroots movement of one million moms and supporters is dedicated to advancing women’s economic freedom, uplifting the vital work of moms in our society and building the power to win the public and private sector investments moms need and deserve, including child care, paid leave, and equal pay.
The organization is housed within the nonprofit Girls Who Code and founded by Reshma Saujani, a long-time advocate for women’s economic empowerment.
Job Description
We are seeking a strategic, results-oriented Director of Development to lead development across foundations, corporate donors, high net worth donors, and grassroots donors. Reporting to the CEO, you will be responsible for identifying, cultivating, and securing new donors and major philanthropic gifts that help meet our ambitious fundraising goals. You have experience securing six and seven figure gifts from large foundations or corporations and/or other philanthropic funding sources by building and working a robust pipeline. You’re a natural salesperson and storyteller with a deep passion for our mission to create a world where moms can thrive. You enjoy diving into the details and setting up processes and systems to help our organization prospect, cultivate, and close major corporate and other philanthropic gifts, and you’re adept at managing a team to deliver results. The successful applicant will build lasting relationships with donors, and keep them informed on how their contributions are making the world a better place.
This role is perfect for someone who prioritizes real world impact above all else, is a builder by nature, loves to make decisions quickly, and relishes the opportunity to wade into blue sky space to grow transformative partnerships. Our team values are to be daring, high impact, relentless, equitable and above all else, put moms (and our team) first. As a senior leader on the team, this role will be responsible for helping to shape how we live out these values in our work day to day.
The Moms First team is remote, with a hybrid work option for New York City based team members. This role may be performed virtually, however we prefer candidates based in the NYC-metro area. If remote, candidates must be willing to travel and be based near a major airport with direct flights to NY, DC, and LA.
