The Philanthropy unit, part of the ER department, leads on the organization's work with High-Net-Worth Individuals.

  • Design tactics and creative, long-term engagement strategy to deepen donor dedication and increase giving.
  • Choreograph, prepare strategy, and briefing and debriefing materials for face-to-face meetings and solicitations with Principal donors conducted personally and/or by senior staff and Board leadership.
  • Supervise and coach frontline fundraisers and/or support staff on the Principal Giving East team, mentoring these individuals and guiding their professional growth at IRC and within the fundraising profession.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across the IRC, institutional fundraising colleagues and field staff, to align donor and organizational priorities in a way that increases income for the IRC and builds multifaceted, deep engagement with the organization.
  • Work collaboratively with Account Managers to strategize, actively track, and measure progress toward financial goals and movement of prospects and donors across the donor lifecycle.
  • Undertake special projects as requested.
Requirements:
  • 6-8 years of progressive fundraising experience and demonstrated expertise in private sector, major gifts, or principal gifts fundraising; or sales, including direct solicitation of donors or clients.
  • Demonstrated history of being an empowering, supportive and inclusive manager to front line fundraisers.
Preferred Experience & Skills:
  • Proven track record of closing multiple 7 figure gifts from a dynamic portfolio of donors and prospects, including qualifying prospects and upgrading donors;
  • Consistent record of developing blended and multi-year funding opportunities;
  • Outstanding communication skills, including writing, listening, verbal presentation, and speaking;
  • Ability to develop creative and nuanced donor strategy often carried out in partnership with program staff or senior leadership;
  • Adaptable to change in a fast-paced work environment while keeping donor priorities at the center of strategy and relationship building;
  • Ability to diplomatically and sensitively collaborate across teams internally, regardless of distance, and garner support for and implement initiatives effectively;
  • Ability to identify, build, and implement processes vital to supporting effective donor relationships;
  • Ability to analyze and interpret financial data;
  • Ability to navigate CRM systems;
  • Dedication to fundraising for international development, humanitarian, human rights, gender and racial equality, social justice, and US immigrant communities.
