What are the responsibilities and job description for the Development Officer position at Phoenix College?
Can you hear the story behind a student’s success, and help a donor see themselves in it?
What if your job was turning generosity into opportunity?
Phoenix College is hiring a Development Officer, and this is a rare chance to shape the future of a college that has been changing lives in central Phoenix since 1920.
Your work changes students’ lives. From a first donor visit to a gift that funds a scholarship, every relationship you build goes directly to student success. You’ll cultivate alumni who are now leaders in the workforce, inviting them to support the college and stay connected to the students following in their footsteps.
Storytelling is part of the job. Donor, alumni, and student impact stories are central to this work. If you love finding the story that makes someone say “I want to be part of this,” you’ll fit right in.
You’ll build community. Plan and implement alumni and donor engagement events and strategies that strengthen the college’s connections across the Valley.
You’ll join a place people want to work. In 2025, NISOD named Phoenix College one of the top 16 community colleges in the nation as a Most Promising Place to Work.
