Associate Director, Principal Gift Development

Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive work environment so that all our colleagues around the globe feel a sense of belonging, and that their unique contributions to our mission are valued. We know we’ll only achieve our Mission by hiring and engaging a diverse workforce that reflects the communities in which we work. In addition to the requirements in our postings, we recognize that people come with talent and experiences outside of a job.

Diversity of experience and skills combined with passion is a key to innovation and a culture of inclusion! To quote myriad TNC staff members, “you’ll join for our mission, and you’ll stay for our people.”

TNC is seeking an experienced, innovative, and driven fundraiser to identify, network with and engage new-to-TNC, ultra-high net worth philanthropists in the Dallas market. This fundraiser will be a key member of both the Texas philanthropy team and TNC’s global wealth markets team – a cross cutting global team spanning eleven key wealth markets across the world. This is a new role supporting TNC’s new Global Wealth Market Initiative.

This global effort is focused on fully realizing our philanthropic market potential in eleven key wealth markets around the world by building our Principal Gift level prospect base in and from these markets. The fundraiser will be fully focused on PG level prospect identification and qualification, engaging ultra-high net worth global citizens in TNC with to goal of building lasting long-term relationships with these prospective donors.

The Associate Director will work closely with our prospect development team, philanthropy operations team, key volunteer leaders, other TNC fundraisers, and senior leaders from across the Conservancy to identify and build relationships with new prospective donors in the Dallas market. The goal is to qualify prospects who are interested in engaging with TNC (while disqualifying those who are not interested) and to develop and execute adapted strategies for each qualified individual, ultimately building a strong relationship between TNC and each prospect.
