Director of Development
A Call to Men
Remote
Anticipated Start Date: April 1, 2025
Description
As the Development Director, you will provide vital funding cultivation, project management, and donor engagement expertise to our Development department. You’ll come to this role with your love for details, grant/proposal writing, and collaboration. Your ability to foster positive donor experiences, research and write for various funder pools (e.g. philanthropy, foundations, corporate contracts, etc.), track project deliverables, work across multiple departments, and navigate competing priorities will help pave the way for your success in this role.
As a national organization, A Call to Men has staff nationwide, but remains based in New York City. As Development Director, you will thrive in the hybrid nature of this role - working from a home office and traveling for work is required, sometimes daily and on weekends. Given the hybrid nature of this role, we are seeking qualified candidates who love NYC and are familiar with and living within 1 hour of New York City. This position requires a high level of in-person networking, a medium-high amount of travel (NYC and nationwide), and administrative work.
The ability to navigate the city at least 3 times a week is required. A company credit card will be provided to cover all travel expenses both within and outside of NYC. You’ll enjoy working closely with the Chief Development Officer, departmental coordinators, program managers, and multiple director-level staff while reporting directly to the Vice President of Strategy and Education. As our Development Director, you’ll appreciate the relational and collaborative nature of this role.
Who You’ll Work With:
You’ll report directly to Avina Ross (Vice President of Strategy and Education).
You’ll work closely with Ted Bunch (Chief Development Officer) and Tia Stemn (Program Manager).
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
The work of A Call to Men lives at the intersection of gender and racial justice. This role allows you to combine passion with purpose and helps create a safer, more equitable world for all.
