CDP is a nonprofit, but Advisory Services is CDP's fee-based consulting practice. We work with funders to build their capacity to give better during disasters, and beyond. Our work includes CDP Partner Connect, curriculum and learning, planning, and general advisory.

This position works on the Advisory Services team and leads CDP Partner Connect, our disaster intelligence service for funders. Most of the work is tied to furthering the Partner Connect line: running its production cycle and leading the launch of the updated product. Some work will also support other Advisory Services projects, with room to lead new work. And, like the entire Advisory Services team, some time is reserved to support organizational initiatives and represent CDP externally.

The Manager reports to the Director of Advisory Services and works closely with CDP's program, grants and resource development teams.

As a fully remote workforce, CDP prioritizes employee engagement and relationship building in service of a collaborative culture rooted in equity. To this end, travel is anticipated throughout the year in different regions of the U.S. This role will be expected to attend client meetings on-site periodically, 2-3 conferences per year, and 2-3 staff retreats per year. As a disaster-related position, the Manager of Advisory Services may also have to work remotely in coordination with others on occasional evenings and weekends when a major disaster strikes.

What success looks like in the first year:

Launch the updated Partner Connect and move current clients onto it without a break in service.

Renew current Partner Connect clients through the transition.

Bring new clients onto Partner Connect after launch.

Scope and launch a client-facing Partner Connect portal, shaped by what clients use and need.

Primary responsibilities include:

Partner Connect (~ 70%)

Lead Partner Connect as a product: its roadmap, delivery model, templates and timelines.

Finish the Partner Connect enhancement work and lead the launch.

Lead Partner Connect client relationships. Run regular client briefings on active disasters and recovery. Bring in other CDP teams so clients get the full range of our expertise in one place.

Tell the Partner Connect story. Show clients and prospects what expert judgment adds that a search engine or AI tool cannot.
