Job Description
Director of Major Gifts
Signal Messenger
• We are seeking a Director of Major Gifts to join our Development team as a high-impact individual contributor. In this role, you will be the primary engine for high-net-worth and charitable institutional engagement, ensuring that Signal has the resources necessary to sustain and scale our technology. • This is not a role for a backend administrator; it is a role for a builder and a closer. You will own the full lifecycle of major giving—from identifying prospects to closing six-and-seven-figure commitments. Reporting into the President, you will work directly with Signal leadership to translate complex technical challenges into compelling philanthropic narratives.
Job Requirements
- Proven Experience:** 8+ years of frontline fundraising experience, with a track record of personally closing 6-figure+ gifts and grants - ideally in the technology sector.
- Independent Mindset:** You are comfortable working autonomously without a large support staff. You enjoy the thrill of unearthing new prospects and picking up the phone.
- Mission Alignment:** You understand the modern landscape of digital privacy, surveillance, and large technology conglomerates. You can articulate why Signal’s non-profit model is essential for a healthy internet.
- Exceptional Communication:** You are a writer and a speaker. You can synthesize complex ideas about encryption and open-source software into emotional, human-centric stories.
- Financial Savviness:** Proficiency with financial basics, modern donor management systems and remote collaboration tools.
Benefits
- We’re **fully distributed**. This means you can work anywhere within the US. And we travel a few times throughout the year so you can get to know your colleagues in person.
- Excellent healthcare**, vision, and dental with all premiums covered.
- Our **401(k) plan **matches your contributions (without any vesting period) up to $20,500.
- We're stable and driven by our privacy mission as a **not for profit**. This means we’re capable of focusing on what is best for users without distractions or compromises.
- Feel good about what you do. Signal is building core infrastructure for truly private digital communications globally. We **don’t participate in the surveillance business model**, and we are proud of the integrity and transparency of our work.
