DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
JOB DESCRIPTION
The Scholars Strategy Network (SSN) seeks a Director of Development to manage and grow the organization’s funding portfolio, work with SSN leadership to develop and fund new programs, and help ensure the organization’s continued financial wellbeing. This is designed as a senior position for someone who is passionate about better connecting research to policy and is excited to deploy their skill to expand the reach of the organization. Working closely with SSN’s Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer, Board, and program staff, the Director will steer donor relationship management, including the identification of prospects and funding opportunities, individual donor stewardship, and grant management. The Director will also manage donor communications, including regular donor newsletters, annual reports, and annual giving campaigns.
The Director of Development is a full-time position with an annual salary between $70,000 to $90,000, based on qualifications and experience. SSN’s competitive benefits include generous time off, health insurance, professional development opportunities and resources, and a 403B retirement plan with an employer match.

Employees in Massachusetts have the option to work at SSN’s main offices at 501 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02116. Employees located out of state will be expected to participate in-person for semi-annual staff gatherings. The person selected for this position will be part of SSN’s Admin & Development team and report directly to SSN’s Executive Director.

Increase annual support for SSN from both individual and institutional donors
Lead all aspects of foundation grant management
