CEO

SVP Denver seeks an innovative, entrepreneurial, and community-oriented change-maker to lead our nonprofit organization. As CEO, you’ll have real autonomy, Board backing, and a committed network to grow a membership community that connects social mission organizations with what they need to thrive: engaged philanthropists, pro bono experts, and catalytic dollars.

You’ll scale a proven model of capacity building and impact investing with individual partners, companies, and funders who give both time and treasure through hands-on projects, cohort-based education, and pooled grants and investments. You will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of our organizations, including fundraising, programming, strategy, people and project management. Diverse candidates with nontraditional backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

PRIORITY EXPERIENCE

• Fundraising and Development: You should have significant relationship-building experience and an understanding of the funder landscape in Colorado. You will be responsible for building financial partnerships, implementing earned revenue strategies, writing and reporting on grants, and cultivating partners to contribute to the financial sustainability of the organization. 

• Entrepreneurial: Given that the organization has a handful of staff, you will need to both get their hands dirty (e.g., implement services with staff, refine fundraising processes, and troubleshoot challenges), while also helping the organization scale (e.g., delegating effectively, engendering trust in critical conversations, contributing to strategic decisions with the board).  

• Strong People and Project Management Skills: You should have strong project management skills (including but not limited to designing and managing to work plans and budgets), as well as people management skills (e.g., making strategic hiring decisions, building team culture, motivating their team, and holding team members accountable for high performance.
