Playworks

• In the role of the Director, Regional Development Strategy, you will have both external and internal-facing responsibilities, primarily focused on leading the creation and execution of a comprehensive, multi-regional development strategy to ensure the required fund development targets are met annually. • This revenue-generating leadership role is critical to advancing Playworks’ 2028 strategic goals. • The Development Director will lead the implementation of a prescriptive fundraising model that provides structure and accountability while allowing for thoughtful regional customization to meet local needs and opportunities. • Advance Playworks’ 2028 strategic priorities by aligning multi-regional fundraising efforts to organizational goals, including significant growth in new corporate and foundation partnerships, expansion of regional funding, diversification of institutional revenue, and long-term financial sustainability. • Support the clear articulation of Playworks’ impact - both nationally and regionally - strengthening organizational value proposition to institutional funding partners. • Build regional annual plans alongside regional leaders designed to attain revenue goals. • Lead the development and execution of a multi-regional fundraising strategy that supports national revenue goals, with direct accountability for achieving new revenue targets of $500,000–$600,000 annually across the assigned regions. • Ensure each region meets or exceeds its fundraising targets — holding full accountability for the dollars raised, maintaining 3X pipeline coverage of the goal, and achieving organization-standard win and conversion rates. • Align, customize, and advance regional fundraising plans, funder engagement strategies, and priorities that complement Playworks’ national development strategy. • Partner with regional Executive Directors and national leaders to identify, pursue, and secure new funding opportunities, including multi-regional or national prospects. • Collaborate with and guide regional program and development teams in adopting fundraising models, providing strategic oversight, coaching, and support to regional development staff to ensure consistent execution and results. • Ensure fundraising practices are cohesive, consistent, coordinated, and data-informed across regions, contributing to organizational-wide visibility and confidence in revenue planning and risk mitigation. • Use data to inform decision-making, identify trends, and recommend strategic shifts to maximize return of effort and achieve efficiencies.

Job Requirements

  • 7-10+ years of experience in nonprofit fundraising, with demonstrated success in securing and managing six-figure gifts, partnerships, or multi-year funding with a strong background in multi-regional, national, or complex organizational development structures.
  • Proven track record of developing and executing fundraising strategies across multiple regions, including aligning local efforts with national priorities
  • Strong experience translating organizational vision or strategy into clear, actionable regional fundraising plans.
  • Experience collaborating across departments and coaching or supporting regional fundraising staff.
  • Strong background in pipeline development, forecasting, and performance monitoring across diverse geographic areas.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create persuasive proposals, strategic plans, and presentations.
  • Highly organized, analytical, and adaptable, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a dynamic environment.
  • Experience working within CRM systems (Salesforce highly preferred) and managing complex fundraising data.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead collaboratively, foster alignment, and contribute to a strengths-based, mission-driven organizational culture.

Benefits

  • A comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, disability, 401(k) plans with employer match, life insurance, employee-funded pre-tax health, and child care spending accounts.
  • Generous Flexible PTO policy with paid sick and holiday leave
