Job description

Director of Development & Strategic Partnerships

HomeAid Orlando | Growing Across Central Florida

Have you built a successful career creating relationships, opening doors, and turning opportunities into results? Are you ready to put those talents to work for something bigger?

HomeAid Orlando is seeking an accomplished, motivated professional to help lead our next chapter of growth across Central Florida.

We bring business leaders, the building industry, and community partners together to strengthen nonprofit organizations serving individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

As we expand, we need someone who can develop meaningful partnerships, attract financial support, and connect people and organizations who want to make a lasting difference.

What You'll Do

• Build strategic relationships with corporate executives, business owners, philanthropic leaders, foundations, and community partners.
• Generate measurable financial support through corporate partnerships, major gifts, sponsorships, and other funding opportunities.
• Expand our network beyond the homebuilding industry into new business and philanthropic sectors.
• Convert opportunities into commitments through thoughtful cultivation, compelling proposals, effective follow-through, and relationship stewardship.
• Help shape our future by working closely with our Executive Director, board, staff, and volunteers to support organizational growth.

What We're Looking For

We welcome accomplished professionals from nonprofit development, business development, consultative sales, corporate partnerships, and related fields.

Successful candidates will demonstrate:

• A proven track record of generating revenue, securing significant commitments, or developing high-value partnerships.
• Experience independently developing prospects, managing relationships, and bringing opportunities to successful conclusions.
• The confidence and credibility to engage business owners, senior executives, and community leaders.
• Strong communication, organizational, negotiation, and follow-through skills.
• The discipline to establish goals, manage a pipeline, measure progress, and take responsibility for results.
• A genuine commitment to community service, collaboration, and the mission of HomeAid.

Nonprofit fundraising experience is valuable, but not required. Demonstrated success in relationship-driven business development is essential.

We value initiative, humility, integrity, curiosity, hard work, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. We are looking for someone who enjoys both opening new doors and doing the work necessary to turn those opportunities into lasting partnerships.

This is an opportunity to grow professionally while helping build an organization with expanding reach and meaningful community impact.

Base salary: $90,000–$105,000, depending on experience and accomplishments, plus an impact award plan offering up $20,000 for achieving established goals.
