Description

Lead fundraising that creates greater opportunity.

Magnify of Central Florida seeks a Director of Development and Marketing to grow philanthropic support and lead

communications that advance opportunity for people with disabilities. This fundraising-first role combines meaningful

donor relationships, personal solicitation, strategy, and team leadership.

Report to the Executive Director and help build a department designed to include a Manager of Marketing and

Communications and a Development Operations Coordinator. Lead the fundraising and the team, with production,

administration, and event coordination delegated to complementary roles.

The opportunity

? Personally cultivate, solicit, renew, and steward donors; partner with the Executive Director and volunteer leaders

on significant relationships and asks.

? Lead annual, recurring, major, corporate, parish, and legacy giving through a clear fundraising plan, budget, and

forecast.

? Develop funder relationships, grants, and cases for support with Finance and program input; advance approved

campaign readiness.

? Coach both direct reports, strengthen stewardship and reporting, and use Salesforce and donor insights to guide

decisions.

? Guide organization-wide messaging and empower the Marketing Manager to deliver campaigns, content, and

communications.

Harvest Ball: lead the fundraising and the results

Own Harvest Ball's financial goals, sponsorship strategy, donor experience, and post-event cultivation. The Coordinator

maintains the operational plan and logistics; the Marketing Manager leads creative and promotion; Finance handles

independent reconciliation. You ensure clear assignments, a qualified day-of lead, and adequate coverage.

Requirements

What you will bring

? Ten or more years of related nonprofit development experience, including fundraising leadership and staff

supervision.

? Personal donor cultivation and solicitation results across major and recurring gifts, sponsorships, and event

fundraising.

? Strong planning, budgeting, forecasting, writing, presentation, collaboration, and delegation skills.

? A bachelor's degree or a relevant combination of education and experience. A master's degree, fundraising

certifications, and Salesforce or comparable donor-system experience are preferred. Disability-services experience is a plus.

Mission and work setting

The role requires appreciation and respect for the Catholic Church and its teachings, and conduct consistent with the

Church's mission and diocesan policies. Work includes the Magnify campus, program sites, donor meetings,

community events, periodic travel, and occasional evenings or weekends.

Required background screening, Safe Environment training, confidentiality practices, and assignment-specific

clearances apply. Magnify/Diocese driving and insurance requirements apply when driving on organizational business.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
