Work Expectations:

We are a hands-on team and seek employees who are passionate about our work and service to our community. The Director of Major Gifts is a full-time, exempt position. While the Director of Major Gifts is eligible for a hybrid work schedule, they must work on-site at Rosie's Place during part of their work week and engage regularly with staff, guests, and volunteers. They are also expected to be flexible with their in-person days to participate in organization events and other work obligations. This position will require travel between Rosie's Place facilities and community locations.

We continue to adapt to safety protocols related to COVID-19 as we understand them, and all employees must follow our safety protocols. Among these protocols, we require all employees to be up to date with their COVID vaccinations. Requests for medical or religious exemptions from the COVID vaccination are considered.

Compensation and Benefits:

The starting salary range for this position is $95,000-$115,000 commensurate with experience. Rosie's Place offers a robust benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 403(b) retirement plan, pension contributions, paid vacation, and more.

To increase equity, and because we know that salary negotiations tend to have an unfair bias, we do not participate in salary negotiations outside of this stated starting salary range. We present the best offer possible commensurate with experience and relative to internal equity.

Please submit your resume and cover letter through Rosie's Place's online portal to apply.

At Rosie's Place, we believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are core components of justice. We commit to acting daily to dismantle injustice to ensure that opportunities and equitable outcomes are available to all members of our community regardless of individual characteristics including race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, or perceived ability.

We value diversity in our workplace and strongly encourage applications from individuals from all identities and backgrounds. We are an equal opportunity employer, and qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law
