Development Manager

The Amyloidosis Research Consortium (ARC) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2015, harnessing the power of collaboration and innovation to advance science and both improve and extend the lives of those with Amyloidosis. We are dedicated to transforming the way research is being done and focus on what will have the most significant impact on improving the lives of amyloidosis patients.

We forge collaborations across industry, research, clinical care, and regulatory to address unmet needs and accelerate the discovery of new treatments. ARC empowers and supports patients by ensuring they have access to the best quality care and information. ARC now has a staff of 14 professionals, and a $4.5M budget.

Amyloidosis is a group of diseases where abnormal proteins build up in organs, causing progressive damage. In the U.S., approximately 3,800 new AL amyloidosis cases are diagnosed annually. However, ATTR amyloidosis affects far more people: over 100,000 Americans have the age‑related form, and 50,000 people worldwide have the inherited form. Studies show that roughly 13% of older heart failure patients actually have undiagnosed ATTR amyloidosis, meaning the true patient population is even larger.

As awareness and diagnosis improve, the community continues to grow.

Development Manager plays a key role in advancing ARC’s annual giving program by building meaningful relationships with individual donors, growing donor engagement, and strengthening the pipeline for future major gifts. Reporting to the Director of Development, this role focuses on cultivating, stewarding, and soliciting annual donors while identifying individuals with major gift potential and partnering with the Director of Development to transition those relationships when appropriate.

This position supports the full fundraising lifecycle, including donor communications, campaign execution, donor stewardship, prospect research, grant tracking, and fundraising operations. The Development Manager also maintains accurate donor data and leverages Salesforce (ARC’s CRM) and other development systems to support effective fundraising strategies, reporting, and workflow management.

The ideal candidate is a relationship‑oriented fundraiser who enjoys engaging with donors while bringing strong organizational and project management skills to a collaborative, mission‑driven environment. Success in this role is measured by the ability to build lasting donor relationships, grow annual giving, and support an efficient and scalable development program.
