About Civic Builders
Civic Builders creates paths for affordable access to permanent facilities for high performing public charter schools that deliver excellent educations to students in communities where the need is greatest. Since 2002, Civic has supported the growth of 81 schools nationwide, educating more than 41,000 students annually. Civic offers school facility development services, access to low-cost capital, and strategic advisory services to public charter schools. Our portfolio represents $1.45 billion invested into economically distressed communities to ensure access to safe, positive, and student-centered learning environments.
About the Position
The Director of Growth Strategy and Development is a brand new leadership role for our organization. The Director reports to the COO and will work closely with her and the Founder and CEO, David Umansky. The Director will hire and manage one direct report, a Development Coordinator, to support development operations and help build a strong development infrastructure.
The Director will join Civic at a time when demand for our services are at their highest, and as we launch our next multi-million ($10M+) dollar campaign for our Lending and Real Estate Development programs. This leader will oversee and manage this campaign as well as our $2MM annual operating fund. Thanks to a strong earned income revenue stream, and the hard work of Civic’s team and Board of Directors, the operating fund and lending and real estate development campaign have existing support and commitments, so the leader who assumes the role will not have to start at ground zero.
Civic Builders has an atypical nonprofit operating model that spans real estate development, financial and strategic advisory services. Given the technical nature of our work and the innovative way we raise money, we seek a leader able to unravel the technical aspects to communicate our impact, and who has demonstrated experience identifying, cultivating and securing 6 and 7 figure gifts from institutional funders.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, entrepreneurial and results-oriented development leader who is passionate about Civic’s mission and energized by seeking out new institutional partners to support our growth. This is a highly external role, so a leader with strong relationship-building and communication skills who can skillfully represent the organization to donors, prospects, and the broader public is a must.
