Director of Stewardship,

Washington, Washington, D.C., United States Renew Democracy Initiative Full time

RDI is building a movement to renew democracy in the US and
around the world through incisive commentary, thought-provoking
events, direct aid to frontline communities, and cultivating
unlikely alliances. We are looking for a Director of Stewardship to
raise revenue to pursue the organization's strategic goals. As the
lead full-time development professional at RDI, you will be the
person primarily responsible for individual and institutional donor
research, gift processing, donor stewardship, and codifying RDI's
donor processes. You should also be prepared to help manage and
organize fundraising (and friend-raising) events in New York, DC,
and other locations. This role reports to the Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) and will oversee the Development & Operations
Associate, delegating responsibilities and managing their
workload.

This role is process-heavy and will require formidable CRM
management abilities as you will not only be managing this process,
but also creating it in accordance with best practices. This is an
exciting opportunity for a uniquely detail-oriented individual who
can build our donor and stewardship systems from the ground up and
maintain those systems over time. As a startup, RDI has an
all-hands-on-deck mentality. A successful candidate should be able
to work independently in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
You should be comfortable taking initiative and owning your
projects from start to finish.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Spearhead Donor Operations

Define and manage RDI's back-end donor management processes
from solicitation to gift processing to stewardship.
Manage RDI's CRM, currently NGPVan EveryAction, ensuring data
integrity, and consistency.
Develop and codify RDI's backend donor processes.
Develop and track KPIs and quarterly and annual fundraising
goals as well as the development program as a whole.
Develop new opportunities for donor engagement and foundational
grants.
Provide reporting, metrics, and information to RDI's
accountants as needed including monthly revenue reports and
documentation of accounts receivable for auditing
purposes.

Manage Donor Relationships
Qualify new donors and establish schedules for the cultivation
and solicitation of gifts from RDI's major gift prospects.
Ultimately the goal should be to ensure that the CEO and members of
the board can be more efficient and maximize the amount of time
they spend engaging with supporters.
Implement a stewardship program aimed at cultivating deeper
ties with donors.
Create and send donor correspondence, including timely
acknowledgment of all gifts.
Coordinate and conduct in-person and virtual meetings with
donors, prospects, volunteers, and key constituencies.
Support CEO's fundraising outreach including crafting personal
messages for him to send and working with the Chief of Staff to
ensure efficient and regular fundraising outreach.

Strategy & Organizational Growth
Work with other team members to write grant and sponsorship
proposals for individuals, institutions, and corporations.
Identify new, significant institutional or individual donor
prospects.
Come up with ideas for ways to grow the organization, increase
appeal to supporters, and identify new revenue streams.

Event Management
Organize and manage cultivation events and salons to engage
existing RDI supporters as well as attract new donors.
Develop and track fundraising KPIs and revenue goals for all
events, including managing sponsorship and partnership
opportunities.
Manage RDI's flagship fundraising event, the Heroes of
Democracy Gala in New York City, which brings together 300 of RDI's
biggest supporters to honor those that have risked their lives for
freedom.

JOB REQUIREMENTS
Minimum of 7 years' experience in a nonprofit organization in a
development role or with equivalent experience.
Tangible experience of having expanded and cultivated existing
donor networks over time.
Ability to work both independently without close oversight, but
also function as a team player who will take initiative, and manage
multiple tasks and projects concurrently.
Concrete and functional understanding of CRMs.
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral;
demonstrated ability to influence and engage a wide range of donors
and build long-term relationships.
A driven work ethic, insatiable curiosity, and a growth
mindset.
Flexible and adaptable work and interpersonal style.
Highly organized and focused planner with good strategic
vision.
Preference will be given to candidates located in Washington,
DC though candidates in New York City will also be considered.
Applicants should expect to come into RDI's office in their
respective city 1 to 3 days per week; however, this position can be
remote for the right candidate working on Eastern Time.
Ability to travel domestically is preferred.
US work authorization required.

BENEFITS

We offer a competitive salary of $80,000 to $110,000 depending
on experience, generous benefits, flexible hours, paid time off,
and unique opportunities for ongoing professional development.
Benefits include a 401(k) retirement plan and a variety of
nationwide medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
