Assistant Director of Leadership Giving

Global Arts Live seeks a strategic and relationship-driven Assistant Director of Leadership Giving to help drive campaign and leadership giving efforts during a transformative period of organizational growth.

For over 30 years, Global Arts Live has brought exceptional global music and dance to stages across Greater Boston. We invest in longstanding relationships with artists, support them with commissions, develop audiences for their work, and create connections to under-represented immigrant populations and communities in our region. Since inception, Global Arts Live has presented more than 800 artists from 70+ countries in over 1,500 performances attended by more than 1 million people.

With an artistic vision focused on cultural diversity, many of our artists express and exemplify universal themes of identity, immigration, heritage, and inclusion. We aspire to transcend borders, cultivate community, and enrich lives.

In November 2026, Global Arts Live will launch a new performing arts center, called The Platform, in partnership with the real estate developer Bio Med Realty. The center features a 404-seat state-of-the‑art theater, 125-seat informal amphitheater anchoring a ground floor commons, and a rehearsal studio. Global Arts Live is conducting a $20M campaign, with $13.1M already achieved, to support the launch, programming, and long‑term sustainability of The Platform.

In a shared services model, Global Arts Live will continue to support The Platform with programming, marketing, fundraising, and administrative support.

Philanthropy is an increasingly vital part of the organization’s operations and long‑term success. As Global Arts Live enters an exciting new phase of growth and innovation—centered on the launch of The Platform (TPK)—its fundraising efforts are scaling significantly. With this expansion, the organization is poised to grow its annual philanthropic revenue well beyond $1M, in addition to the campaign above, reflecting both the ambition and opportunity of this next chapter.

The Assistant Director of Leadership Giving (ADLG) will play a key role in advancing Global Arts Live’s fundraising efforts during a transformative period of organizational growth. Reporting to the Director of Advancement (DA) and working closely with the CEO, Director of Artistic Programming, Board, and broader leadership team, the ADLG will help drive the successful completion of the campaign for The Platform while strengthening and expanding the organization’s leadership giving program.

This is a unique opportunity for an energetic, entrepreneurial, and strategic fundraising professional to blend frontline fundraising, campaign management, prospect development, communications, and operational leadership. The ADLG will oversee leadership and campaign giving strategies, manage a portfolio of prospects and donors, supervise a Development Operations & Campaign Coordinator, and support the overall effectiveness of the advancement function. The ideal candidate will be authentic, articulate, and inspiring, with the initiative and persistence to advance ambitious fundraising goals while serving as a compelling ambassador for Global Arts Live.

As the campaign concludes, the position will play a critical role in transitioning campaign donors and prospects into a sustainable major gifts pipeline, helping shape the future of philanthropy at Global Arts Live.

The ADLG will lead and advance leadership and campaign giving efforts, managing donor relationships and campaign strategies that drive philanthropic growth. Working closely with the Director of Advancement and organizational leadership, they will help build fundraising infrastructure, strengthen prospect pipelines, and support the department’s overall success.
