  2. Foster a culture of philanthropy and ensure that fund development is executed and aligned with the values, vision, mission, and strategic direction of the organization.
  3. Work with EMPath leadership, board, and other stakeholders to coordinate, plan, and execute strategy for new priorities, including those that may form the case for support for a comprehensive campaign.
  4. Develop a multi-year, multi-million-dollar campaign that supports EMPath’s bold vision.
  5. Cultivate and maintain relationships with board members, major donors, and key stakeholders.
  6. Oversee communications for the organization, identifying key themes and talking points for the organization, and driving the organization’s overall communications strategy.
  7. Oversee efforts to revitalize a robust Story Sharing Network of EMPath participants, focused on ethical story-telling.
  8. Plan and oversee fundraising events, like annual galas and house parties.

  6. Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, with the ability to represent the organization externally across a wide range of stakeholders and constituencies.
  7. Strong relationship builder with the ability to find common ground, build consensus, and strengthen collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
  8. Strong organizational and analytical skills that reflect ability to perform and prioritize multiple tasks, and ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously.
  9. Baseline certification in fundraising, the CFRE (Certified Fundraising Executive), or equivalent experience is required.
  10. Ability to take the initiative to identify and act on problems and lead by example.
