Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Own the overall fundraising strategy and execution across foundations, high-net-worth individuals, and corporates. Focus on identifying and creating new opportunities and pathways—not just managing what already exists.
  • Build a fundraising program that can reach $10M+ a year. Set the strategy, build the pipeline, and lead the team to get there from the ground up.
  • Put clear systems in place so the team can consistently develop and close opportunities year after year and create visibility across the organization into pipeline progress.
  • Partner closely with Marketing, Impact Investing, Finance, and Technology teams to identify and pursue opportunities that require cross-functional approaches.
  • Set a high performance bar, hire great talent and build a strong cohesive team culture.
  • Serve as a key external leader for Kiva—building relationships with major funders and partners and representing the organization with credibility on a global stage.

Requirements

  • Are deeply mission-driven, with a strong sense of doing what is right, and willing to stand up for it
  • Lead with authenticity and integrity, and build trust with partners and stakeholders
  • Are a builder who is comfortable starting from ambiguity and turning ideas into programs that perform
  • Work exceptionally well as part of a team, putting shared outcomes ahead of individual credit
  • Can operate at both the strategic and execution level—setting direction while driving follow-through
  • Enjoy storytelling and building genuine, long-term partnerships
  • Have 12+ years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and/or partnerships, including owning a program that reached or approached $10M+ annually
  • Have led senior teams and operated at the executive level, including working effectively with boards
  • Experience in impact investing or blended finance is a plus
Benefits
  • A work-from-home position; final candidate must be authorized to work in the U.S
  • An opportunity to improve real lives, solve hard problems, and change the world
  • Friendly, supportive, and adventurous environment with a team of engaged colleagues
  • A comprehensive, industry-leading benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance, parental leave, professional development, 401k matching, and unlimited PTO. Some of these benefits have eligibility requirements. Many of these benefits are subsidized or fully paid for by Kiva.
  • Opportunities to connect with and learn from colleagues and partners around the world
