Acerca del trabajo
You are an exceptional storyteller with a strong passion for ORAM’s work. You are well-connected, highly energetic, emotionally insightful, and an intellectually courageous person. This isn’t your first time—you know how to skillfully grow existing relationships as well as strategically develop new prospects. Relationships are only one piece of the puzzle. You will also build the infrastructure and maintain the systems and activities related to private fundraising and relationship management. As a steward for RAM’s relationships and strategic partnerships, you will be responsible for identifying and cultivating new donors and engaging and growing existing donors. This includes communications, events, and relationship strategies for government, foundation, individual, and corporate groups.
We’ve recently reached a new $1.5M operating budget milestone. The continued growth and development of ORAM’s ability to provide critical services and advocacy to some of the world’s most marginalized communities depend on your ability to raise and grow revenue to support the organization’s mission. You will be supported by an amazing ORAM team as well as the Alight Donor Services team for back-office support.
We strive to represent the diverse communities we serve. Applicants who contribute to this diversity and those who bring lived experience with displacement are strongly encouraged to apply.
