Join Our Team!

We remove barriers and open doors to expert capacity-building support through customized coaching, strategic consulting, and leadership development—delivered by our network of 110+ seasoned volunteer consultants.

Director, Development
ESC seeks a senior fundraising leader to serve as Director, Development, with strategic oversight of communications. This role is primarily responsible for leading, scaling, and executing ESC’s comprehensive fund development strategy, with a strong emphasis on institutional and individual giving, including engagement of ESC’s 110+ volunteer consultants who are key champions and supporters of the mission. Fundraising planning, management, and execution is the first and foremost priority for this role.
The Director, Development builds and leads a high‑performing development function, encompassing fundraising strategy, donor cultivation, team leadership, and revenue growth. Oversight of communications is secondary.
The Director provides strategic leadership and oversight of communications and does not perform day‑to‑day execution. The day-to-day aspects of Communications are primarily performed by a fractional Senior Advisor, Communications (contractor) and the Manager, Development & Communications.
ESC is particularly interested in candidates whose primary professional identity is senior‑level fundraising leadership and who have held direct responsibility for revenue growth, portfolio development, and managing development functions or teams.
