The ideal candidate is someone with a pulse on technology – from products (hardware/software) to social media and telecoms, and the associated trends in the sector. We are looking for a candidate that can bridge the divide between fundraising and working strategically with technology sector partners, using their products and expertise to advance the IRC’s impact. As an Officer with a dedicated portfolio of established technology partners, you will help to advance fundraising strategies and activations, inclusive of revenue and in-kind support. The Officer will also demonstrate a passion for the IRC's mission, nuanced understanding of private sector fundraising, and dedication to the organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion values.

Major Responsibilities:

• Work closely with the Associate Director, Tech and the tech portfolio team to steward a $2M USD portfolio of partners that is already set up for maternity coverage;
• Demonstrate the capacity and professional expertise to coordinate and manage senior level donor meetings;
• With the oversight of the Associate Director and/or a team mentor, exercise and execute creative solutions to meet the needs of the IRC and portfolio;
• In keeping with account strategic plans and goals, maintain a series of high profile, creative, and impactful partnerships across key fundraising and strategic modalities including employee engagement, in-kind support, pro bono expertise, and more;
• Manage outreach, solicitation, and strategies for partners within the portfolio, such as pitches, proposal submissions, and general partnership stewardship to keep all relationships warm through the end of the FY;
• Partner with GPPS as needed to create materials for partners, including proposed partnership overviews and activation ideas, concept notes, proposals, presentations, and reports, from drafts through to final line-editing and formatting;
• Work closely with the External Relations teams (e.g., digital, creative studio, experiential events) to leverage tech-related virtual and in-person events and campaigns to support the overall fundraising efforts of the organization.
• Review already created a robust client servicing plan for each portfolio partner, including key performance indicators, ongoing planning and reporting to optimize quality of service, pipeline for funding, and donor satisfaction;
• Facilitate information flows between prospects and donors, program staff and fellow IPP officers;
• Demonstrate the capacity to adapt, pivot successfully, and handle higher visibility challenges on a regular basis both with donors/prospects and internally;
• Undertake special assignments, as needed.
