Chief Officer jobs in Germany

Mackenzie Health Foundation has experienced remarkable success with the historic completion of the $250M Ultimate Campaign. Today, Mackenzie Health Foundation continues to ride the momentum of success generated by the campaign while also retooling in response to post-campaign priority shifts. With the arrival of their President & CEO, Nicole McCahon (2023), Mackenzie Health Foundation is set up for continued growth and transformation.

Mackenzie Health Foundation raises vital funds to support Mackenzie Health’s two hospitals – Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital and Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital. Each has a full-service emergency department, core services and specialized services to provide members of the community with the care they need. Woman and Child, Inpatient Mental Health and Inpatient Integrated Stroke programs are available at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital. An extensive range of outpatient clinics, chronic kidney disease care, complex continuing care and rehabilitation are available at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital.

Mackenzie Health has faced unprecedented demands for patient care in recent years. One year after Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital opened its doors to the public, patient volumes surpassed projections – three years ahead of schedule. York Region is one of the fastest growing and most diverse communities in Canada, with more than 550,000 residents. Mackenzie Health is responding to the increasing needs by expanding operations, renovating Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital and partnering with York University on a medical school, while concurrently planning for updates at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital as it reaches the typical 5–7-year lifecycle of its equipment. Mackenzie Health is preparing for significant funding needs over the next decade, and the Foundation will need to increase its financial support separate from, and in addition to, current revenues.

Having recently completed the Strategic Plan for 2025 – 2029, the Foundation will focus on four key areas, which are: Elevate their culture of philanthropy, build capacity, maximize fundraising and boldly tell their story.

Their purpose statement is to be a leader in health care philanthropy to inspire community support of patient care excellence at Mackenzie Health.

This is where you come in.

In this newly created role, reporting to and working closely with the Foundation’s President & CEO, the Chief Development Officer will oversee the major and transformational gifts team. The Chief Development officer will serve as a key member of the Foundation Executive Team.

Mackenzie Health Foundation is undergoing an exciting transformation, rebuilding its philanthropic programs to create a lasting impact on healthcare in their community. As the organization solidifies its strong senior leadership team, the Chief Development Officer will be the final key addition, bringing strategic vision and fundraising expertise to elevate donor engagement and revenue growth.

Reporting to a highly accomplished President & CEO who is a strong major gifts fundraiser, this role will work in close partnership to design and expand high-impact philanthropic initiatives. The Chief Development Officer, in partnership with the President & CEO, is accountable for the full philanthropic revenue portfolio – with the intention to raising $20M+ per year.

While Mackenzie Health is currently between major campaigns, there remains a strong and growing need for philanthropic support. Several critical priorities require immediate attention - from advancing patient care and expanding capacity to investing in innovative medical technologies and funding essential programs that improve health outcomes. One such priority is their $10 million Mental Health Campaign, Together, We Shine Brightest, focused on expanding and strengthening mental health services across their hospitals. The Chief Development Officer will play a key role in ensuring donors remain connected, engaged and inspired to support these vital initiatives.

Leading a high-performing team of six, the Chief Development Officer will champion excellence across all major and transformational giving initiatives. They will play a pivotal role in shaping the team’s future by retaining top talent, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation and building capacity needed to drive sustained philanthropic growth.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of fundraising within a dynamic organization, backed by an engaged and influential fundraising board. The ideal candidate will be an innovative leader with a proven track record in building programs, fostering donor relationships, and developing top tier fundraising talent to drive strategic revenue growth and support Mackenzie Health’s mission.
