Director of Development

ABOUT RESET
180

Reset
180 is a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) Christian organization primarily operating in Northern Virginia. Reset
180’s mission is to
prevent
local human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation,
disrupt
the related networks, and
restore
those who are impacted. We walk alongside survivors with trauma-informed care, advocacy, and wrap-around support pursuing justice in our community and within the systems that affect those we serve.

Reset
180 is at a pivotal moment of growth. The Director of Development will partner with the Executive Director in creating the fundraising strategy that makes that growth possible. They execute the strategy by building the infrastructure, relationships, and revenue streams that move the organization from where it is to where it needs to go.

The Director of Development is responsible for building and executing Reset
180's fundraising strategy at a critical moment in the organization’s growth. This role carries significant responsibility: leading Reset
180 from a $1 million to a $3 million organization over the next three to five years, while simultaneously leading a capital campaign for a new restoration home for survivors of trafficking, made possible by a recently secured $1 million federal grant.

This is not a role for someone looking to inherit a mature development operation. Reset
180 is building and this leader will build with us. The right candidate comes with humility, a willingness to understand where the organization is today, and the discipline to lay a solid foundation before scaling. They are resourceful and resilient, able to work within a limited budget while producing consistent results over time. They are a skilled relationship builder who connects people to meaningful work, a systems thinker who can build the infrastructure that sustainable fundraising requires, and an active cultivator of major donors who can open doors and deepen investment at the highest levels.

The Director of Development serves as a member of the Leadership Team and reports directly to the Executive Director. They carry full ownership of all revenue streams: individual giving, major gifts, corporate partnerships, foundation grants, planned giving, and special events. Above all, this person is driven by genuine passion for Reset
180's mission to prevent trafficking, support survivors, and build a community that refuses to look away.
