Job description

We're Hiring : Chief Development Officer

Location : Remote, or if you prefer an office, Phoenix, AZ

Type : Full-time

Reports to : Executive Director

Help us grow-and help every child find a safe, loving home.

The Center for the Rights of Abused Children is growing rapidly. We've been proudly supported by partners like Shamrock Foods, In-N-Out Burger, and community champions like Starbucks and Radi8 Yoga Studios. Now, we're looking for a bold, entrepreneurial leader to scale our impact-and bring new supporters into the fight for children's rights.

We're hiring a Chief Development Officer to lead our national fundraising. This is a high-level role for a seasoned development professional who can build relationships, drive significant revenue, and advance our mission through strategic, transformative partnerships.

What You'll Do

• Leverage your network, prospect new leads, and build meaningful relationships that result in major gifts.
• Manage a dynamic pipeline of corporate, foundation, and individual prospects-from national brands to emerging innovators.
• Design and execute customized sponsorships, cause-marketing efforts, and collaborative campaigns.

What We're Looking For

• Proven success in securing major gifts from individuals, foundations, and business partners.
• A hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset that thrives in fast-paced environments.
• A deep commitment to child advocacy and a desire to create lasting change.

What You Won't Do

• Manage existing donors-we have a strong base and team in place for that. Your focus is bold, new partnerships.
• Wait for the CEO to open doors-this role is for a self-starter who owns strategy, outreach, and the close.
• Get stuck in red tape-we move fast, test ideas, and prioritize results over process.

What This Means for You

The Center is a $4 million organization with plans to scale to $15 million. That means this is more than a job-it's a chance to grow a nationally recognized, high-impact nonprofit while taking your career to new heights. We believe in compensating great work competitively and are open to building a strong salary + bonus package for the right candidate.

To Apply

Please submit the following :

• A short cover letter (750 words or less) telling us why you're the right person for this role-and for the children we serve.
• Your resume (PDF preferred).

We kindly ask that you do not submit resumes or inquiries via social media or personal contacts. All applications will be reviewed with care.
