Description

  • Research and profile major donors, foundations, and conference attendees to prepare for CEO engagements.
  • Draft follow-up outreach, thank-you notes, and cultivation messages in the CEO’s voice.
  • Manage the donor cultivation pipeline from first contact through scheduled meeting and funded commitment.
  • Identify, track, and coordinate grant opportunities aligned with Parity’s mission.
  • Write grant proposals, letters of inquiry, donor reports, and major gift case statements.
  • Prepare briefing materials for the CEO’s speaking engagements and conferences that surface funding opportunities.
  • Maintain and update the donor CRM so the pipeline remains current and actionable.

  • Demonstrated success writing grant proposals or major donor communications that led to funding.
  • Familiarity with donor cultivation strategy and the major gifts cycle.
  • Ability to operate as an extension of a CEO or senior leader, including drafting in their voice and owning follow-through.
  • Experience in a startup, early-stage organization, or resource-constrained environment is a strong plus.
  • CRM experience with any platform is helpful but not required.
  • Scrappy and resourceful, with the ability to build systems rather than wait for them.
  • Relationship-oriented and able to build trust with major donors over time.
  • Strategic thinker who can prioritize high-impact moves.
  • Excellent writer whose communication is clear, compelling, and audience-calibrated.
  • Driven by outcomes and impact rather than activity.
  • Mission-aligned with equitable development, community ownership, and Parity’s work.
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote, startup environment with limited hand-holding and high expectations.

Benefits

  • Fully remote, global work environment.
  • $1,500–$1,800 monthly compensation, commensurate with experience.
