About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President of Development Operations to play a pivotal role in reshaping how development operations contribute to the organization's mission. This senior leadership position is not for the faint of heart; it demands a bold, strategic leader with a proven track record in building and modernizing development infrastructure. The successful candidate will be a transformational strategist, responsible for leading a high-performing team and ensuring that the organization's ambitious fundraising goals are met with the highest standards of operational excellence. Essential functions include monitoring and tracking performance, data analysis, database management, prospect research, and campaign planning. The role also requires a strong commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, as well as the ability to lead through significant structural and cultural evolution. Applicants for the Vice President of Development Operations role at the company should be senior-level development professionals with at least 15 years' experience, including a minimum of 5 years in a management capacity. A Bachelor's degree is required. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in overseeing development operations teams, be a self-starter with strong communication skills, and have experience in capital campaigns. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and experience with fundraising databases, particularly Salesforce, is a plus. The role demands a leader who can modernize development infrastructure, ensure data-informed decision-making, and contribute strategic leadership to comprehensive campaigns. The candidate should be a change agent, capable of leading through complexity, and be deeply committed to the conservation of wildlife and their habitats.
