DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will:

• Build a net-new donor pipeline: Identify and develop HNW and UHNW prospects through research, wealth screening, referrals, executive and board networks, events, and direct outreach.
• Own the full fundraising cycle: Lead prospects from qualification and discovery through cultivation, solicitation, negotiation, and close, with a focus on transformational and multi-year commitments.
• Deliver revenue outcomes: Own approximately $3M+ in annual fundraising, maintaining pipeline coverage and accurately forecasting progress, risks, and opportunities.
• Develop cultivation strategies: Create tailored approaches for priority prospects that connect their philanthropic interests to CodeAI's mission, programs, and funding priorities.
• Partner with executive leadership: Work with the CEO, executives, and board members to open doors and strategically engage leadership in advancing high-potential opportunities.
• Use events to build and convert pipeline: Design donor experiences that surface new prospects and move existing ones forward.
• Create compelling donor communications: Develop proposals, pitches, and presentations that connect donor interests to CodeAI's vision and impact.
• Build scalable prospecting practices: Create repeatable approaches to identification, outreach, qualification, cultivation, and conversion that strengthen CodeAI's major-giving capability.
• Manage and communicate the pipeline: Maintain accurate prospect and opportunity records in Salesforce, and work across CodeAI to advance opportunities and ensure clean gift processing and stewardship handoffs.

As a secondary focus, you may also identify and cultivate net-new foundation and corporate funding opportunities as they arise.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS

We seek candidates who have:

• 8+ years of frontline fundraising experience, with significant time in major individual giving and engaging HNW and UHNW individuals.

• A demonstrated ability to operate independently, create opportunity, and deliver results in an ambiguous, high-accountability environment.
• A deep passion for CodeAI's mission and willingness to travel up to 20% to engage donors and prospects.

We prefer candidates who also have:

• Experience fundraising in education, technology, AI, or another mission-driven environment.
• Experience using events and high-touch experiences to originate and cultivate major-donor relationships.
