Operations and Strategy Manager for a pivotal fund taking on daunting challenges and

making real progress on reproductive and gender equity (Remote)

A Pivotal Movement for Women Everywhere

Women are activating their collective power: from the Women’s Marches and #MeToo to the record number of women running for and holding office. Developments in technology mean healthcare can be centered around women in new ways.

At the same time, we are facing tremendous challenges. Extreme, restrictive policies at the national

and state levels are making it alarmingly difficult for women to access the health care they want, need, and deserve. Over the next few years, further restrictions on abortion and healthcare access and potential cuts to the Affordable Care Act are expected. These cuts are a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and would limit contraceptive access for millions of women.

Founded in 2018, CGRE is a funder collaborative that recognizes that we are at a critical moment in the United States. The current landscape demands new funding to support urgent and significant advances for reproductive and gender equity: to become a nation in which every woman has the knowledge, resources and power to shape her own life.

First and foremost a partnership, CGRE prioritizes listening to the field — and each other. By collaborating and pooling funds, it will be able to place strategic bets and move faster to support partner organizations. CGRE is focused on testing and trying new approaches, responding to shifting needs, and looking farther ahead.

The Opportunity

Reporting directly to the Executive Director, the Operations and Strategy Manager will be expected to develop, facilitate and implement policies and practices to manage the CGRE team, finances, communications, operations and other components related to successful implementation of the strategic plan. CGRE is a virtual workplace and operates as a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA). This position will work remotely.

The Candidate

The Operations and Strategy Manager will be an engaged and passionate individual who will emphasize teamwork and cooperation to solve the most pressing issues facing women today. Working in close conjunction with staff and consultants, the manager will not just help CGRE hold the line, but will help make real progress on reproductive and gender equity. Unafraid of daunting challenges, the individual will mirror CGRE as a stubborn optimist that believes concerted philanthropic action, in partnership with field leaders and organizations, can reshape the country now and for decades to come.

The ideal candidate will possess:

• At least 10 years of related professional experience with strong management responsibilities.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
• Experience managing a Foundation program area or working as a COO or Chief-of-Staff is a plus.
• Experience in philanthropy, grantmaking and board management a plus.
• Demonstrated organizational skills, efficiency, and commitment to accuracy and excellence.
• Experience developing new and integrated processes for multiple aspects of organizational work, including program and operations.

Vice President of Advancement to join a team driving prosperity for future generations (Orange County, CA)

Gen Next is a group of successful leaders who seek to harness competition and entrepreneurship to solve the greatest generational challenges of our time.

The Gen Next network acts through three organizations that orchestrate a comprehensive set of programmatic, philanthropic, and political activities designed to address three areas where short-term thinking threatens the success and prosperity of future generations: education reform, economic opportunity, and global security.

The Gen Next Foundation plays a key role in this work as the network’s innovative philanthropic and entrepreneurial arm.

Adopting a venture philanthropy approach that combines the heart of an NGO with the approach of an entrepreneur, the Foundation incubates and grows ventures that deploy high-risk, forward-looking, and high-impact ideas. The Foundation’s early efforts have shown that the private sector can, and should, lead where government alone cannot. Leveraging these results, it seeks to ramp up its work to develop solutions that can propel society, communities, and families toward a brighter future.

At this exciting time in the Foundation’s trajectory, it seeks a Vice President of Advancement to tap, build, and deploy a dynamic donor community and to be a key asset on the leadership team. The Vice President of Advancement will build the Foundation’s internal development machine with an obsessive eye toward the data, analytics, operations, relationships, and community that achieve a multi-million recurring revenue model. The VP will coordinate closely with team members to develop relationships and steward future donors and will build a donor engagement framework with defined donor circles, KPIs, and stewardship plans.

The ideal candidate will be a savvy and effective operator who can seize the opportunity to bolster the engagement of the membership base while optimizing it for broader giving. Specific qualifications include:

• At least 8 to 10 years of fundraising experience, including experience soliciting and stewarding $100K+ gifts.
• Record of building and expanding a national fundraising network.
• Demonstrated ability to enthusiastically balance responsibilities and priorities in an entrepreneurial environment.
• Experience working successfully across diverse and remote teams.
• Ability to build relationships with high-level leaders and entrepreneurs.

Associate Director of Development to lead relationship building for a dynamic business improvement district (Washington, D.C.)

The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District is an award-winning non-profit that works to enhance the Golden Triangle — the 43-square-block neighborhood that stretches from Dupont Circle to Pennsylvania Avenue. The primary focus of the BID is to provide a clean, safe, and vibrant environment within this remarkable neighborhood, and to retain and attract businesses to the Golden Triangle.

The BID connects its members to numerous resources, events, and information in and around the neighborhood. The staff serve as a first point of contact for member questions and issues and act as a key liaison between businesses and many city agencies. Together with corporate and government partners, the BID develops and implements programs that strengthen the vitality of the Golden Triangle. The BID is dedicated to making the Golden Triangle a great place to live, work, and play.

As Golden Triangle Business Improvement District expands its commitment to building institutional relationships that benefit the District, the Associate Director of Development will play the key role in developing funding for dynamic new programs. Reporting to Senior Director, Finance and Administration Drew Ann Jubert, and working closely with Executive Director Leona Agouridis, other members of the staff, and board members, the Associate Director oversees all aspects of the development program and lays the foundation for long-term relationships.

The Associate Director collaborates on establishing fundable programs, designs sponsorship opportunities and relevant marketing materials, and creates appropriate recognition and stewardship opportunities. The candidate should have a genuine commitment to the mission of the Golden Triangle BID and a passion for activating and improving urban spaces.
