Austin, United States PowerHouse Texas Full time

PowerHouse Texas is seeking a seasoned Development Manager to lead our fundraising and development efforts. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive fundraising strategy, cultivating relationships with donors and sponsors, and securing financial support from various sources, including private foundations, individual donors, corporate sponsorships, corporate donations, and government grants. The Development Manager will play a pivotal role in driving the organization towards a multi million-dollar operating budget. This year, we are significantly expanding our philanthropic and fundraising program.


About PowerHouse Texas: Founded in 2022 in response to Winterstorm Uri, PowerHouse Texas is dedicated to educating and cultivating energy policy leaders, fostering bipartisan collaboration, and driving evidence-based policy change to address Texas' most pressing energy and environmental challenges. As Texas holds the dual distinction of being both the largest greenhouse gas emitter and the leading producer of clean energy in the U.S., PowerHouse Texas is uniquely positioned to catalyze the state's decarbonization efforts. Alongside our sister organization, the Texas Energy & Climate Caucus, we play a critical role in combating misinformation, bridging the science-policy education gap, and ensuring that Texas continues to lead in the transition to a more resilient and sustainable energy future.


Our work focuses on empowering legislators and policy staffers with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed decisions that promote sustainable energy practices. Through our initiatives such as the Energy Policy Advisory Council, Innovation Forums, the Energy Academy, the Texas Energy Tour, and the Energy Policy Fellowship, PowerHouse Texas not only addresses current policy needs but also cultivates a new generation of energy and environmental policy leaders. Given Texas' influence in the national energy landscape, we believe Texas is ground zero for spurring the growth of a clean energy economy both within the state and across the country. This year, we are significantly expanding our philanthropic and fundraising program.
