Executive Admin Full Time Executive Boston, MA, US

Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

CDP, a Boston-based public benefit corporation, uses the collaborative fundraising model to improve the operational efficiency and revenue generation capacity of the public media system. CDP currently provides more than 230 NPR and PBS public media organizations (PMO’s) with outsourced marketing, data analytics, fundraising, and technology services. These services help PMO’s raise more net income, grow their donor files faster, lower their fundraising costs, and free up development talent allowing stations to better focus on local engagement.

Since its inception, CDP has delivered more than $1 billion in membership revenue for local PMO’s participating in its services and has become the most widely adopted Public Media service in the history of public media.

Just as CDP is committed to supporting public media organizations around the country, we are equally committed to supporting each of our team in their own professional development.

In communities across the country—from major cities to small, rural towns—public media organizations and nonprofits fill gaps no one else will, providing local journalism, education, arts and culture, and a trusted place where people connect. Many public media organizations are among the smallest nonprofits in the country, yet together they form one of the largest membership communities in America, and they depend on the generosity of their donors to keep that work alive.

CDP exists to help them do that—and do it better. We’re looking for a Chief Growth Officer who will help us bring that impact to more organizations, more communities, and more of the people public media serves.

As a member of CDP’s Executive Team, you’ll lead our integrated growth, innovation, marketing, and business development strategy. At CDP, growth isn’t an end in itself. It means helping more public media organizations—regardless of size or resources—strengthen donor relationships, build long-term financial sustainability, and invest more in the content and services their communities count on. You’ll shape where CDP goes next across public media and thoughtfully selected adjacent nonprofit markets, turn unmet client needs into scalable solutions, and sharpen how we tell our story.

You’ll build the systems, tools, and rhythms that help CDP grow with clarity and consistency, and bring an executive voice to our most strategic relationships and opportunities. You’ll lead two senior leaders—the Senior Director, Business Development and the VP, Innovation & Marketing, who leads a sizable team—and through them bring sales, marketing, CDP Labs, and Innovation & Partnerships together around one shared goal: measurable value for our clients and lasting impact for public media.

• Set the direction for growth. Partner with the CEO and Executive Team to translate CDP’s enterprise strategy into a clear go-to-market plan—target markets, priority client segments, ideal client profiles, and which opportunities to pursue, pause, scale, or sunset.
• Build a repeatable growth engine. Establish growth goals, quarterly targets, and the metrics that matter—pipeline health, win rate, forecast accuracy, and mission-aligned revenue mix—so the organization has real visibility into progress and tradeoffs.
• Lead and coach business development. Guide the Senior Director, Business Development on pursuit planning, proposal strategy, pricing inputs, and close strategy, and provide executive engagement on new markets,…
