At LEADS, we believe the future of Massachusetts’ Gateway Ci es rests in the hands of the leaders who live and work in these communities. Our 10-month Fellowship, designed and facilitated by world-renowned leadership and systems change experts, equips those leaders with the skills, networks, and frameworks to drive transformation in their communities.
The results? More than 400 alumni across the state who continue to work together to re-shape economies, spark civic renewal, and demonstrate that bold leadership can change the trajectory of entire communities. And we’re just getting started.
We are on a growth trajectory and fundraising is a strategic priority to fuel our expansion in current and future markets. We’re looking for a Chief Development Officer (CDO) who’s both a strategist and a builder, someone who can design a bold vision then roll up their sleeves and make it happen. The ideal candidate brings the mindset of an architect and the drive of an operator: able to crate strategy, cultivate new relationships, inspire increased levels of multi-year generosity, and close the deals that fuel and sustain growth.
Reporting to the President, you’ll be at the heart of our operations and communications, helping us translate strategic objectives into operational success, overseeing the development and implementation of efficient internal systems, and ensuring that our programs run smoothly. You’ll manage program logistics, vendor relationships, internal systems, and social media strategy, and support our development program. You’ll also be the point person for integrating AI into our various workflows—realizing efficiencies while staying true to our relational and community principles.
