Development Senior Manager​/Director

Anderson Ranch seeks a strategic, relationship-driven development leader to spearhead our National Council membership and Annual Fund programs. This person is a planner and an organizer who understands that success lives in the details — from the follow-up after a renewal call, to the seating chart at the annual Gala, to the thank-you note that goes out on time. They enjoy building one-on-one relationships with donors, and they bring the discipline to manage a small team while staying hands-on with the work.

They are highly organized, growth-driven, present at events and on campus, and energized by the rhythm of the Ranch’s fundraising calendar.
About:

Anderson Ranch Arts Center is a year-round visual-arts not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization with a 55-year history of providing transformative experiences that celebrate artists, art-making, and creative dialogue at the intersection of craft and the global contemporary art world. Anderson Ranch brings together both aspiring and internationally renowned artists who come from across the country and around the world to test new ideas, explore new disciplines and techniques, hone their art-making skills, engage in meaningful dialogue, and connect with thought leaders in the artistic community.
