Job Details

Net Impact is looking for a leader who brings a passion for empowering next generation leaders to address the urgent problems that face us: climate change, racial inequity, and business practices that are unsustainable for people and planet. The Associate Director of Growth generates business value by building and deepening relationships with partners (public and private companies, foundations) across sectors and topical areas. The AD of Growth should be keenly curious about where the future of the ESG ecosystem is headed and ensure that Net Impact is leading the way there by developing offerings that offer transformational value to our next generation network and our funding partners. 

You’ll steward new and existing relationships to identify mutually desirable opportunities that advance our shared SDG and ESG goals. You will lead implementation of Net Impact’s revenue development strategy and will work with senior leadership to evolve that strategy over time. You will collaborate to ensure that our funded opportunities are compelling, market-sensing, and appropriately priced. 

This role is ideal for a rising leader who is comfortable collaborating on strategy and also being a relationship lead and making the ask when the time is right. The AD of Growth will provide organization and direction for the Development Team, and will supervise 1-2 direct reports. 

At this time, Net Impact can only consider applicants with authorization to work in the United States on a permanent, full-time basis. Unfortunately we cannot provide visa sponsorship.

You are excited, not daunted, when a colleague asks you how we might launch a new, paid membership strategy or think through tiered pricing and benefits for a big, new multi-stakeholder funding campaign. You have proven experience selling complex offerings to business partners, ideally with a social impact focus.
●    Cultivate relationships that drive business value and deliver on mission. You are not your typical non-profit fundraiser.

You always ‘know your numbers’ and on a given day, you have a keen sense of the highest-priority relationships to stoke to make progress towards your revenue goal. 
●    Bring a strategic growth mindset. You consistently ask yourself and your colleagues questions like: is this approach meeting the moment and resonating with people? If not, can we tweak the approach, or are we better off taking a new course entirely? What changes might we make to unlock new revenue-generating possibilities? Not only do you ask the questions, you tap into your market-sensing strategic approach and are energized to help the organization translate big ideas into action.
