Featured Nonprofit Job: Director Of Development And Marketing

Active readers of this blog will remember that, back in April, the Pacific Autism Center for Education (PACE) posted a featured nonprofit job with us for a Development Director. PACE is back with yet another job today. This time, they are looking for a Director of Development and Marketing.

PACE, based in Santa Clara, Calif., is an organization that seeks to provide high quality programs for individuals with autism. The Director of Development and Marketing will be primarily responsible for aligning fundraising goals with institutional planning and strategy. This includes agency fundraising as it applies to grants, corporate foundations, personal donations and any source of ancillary income or gifts in kind not attributed to standard operational income.

As the title suggests, this is a hybrid position. PACE's fundraising efforts have a big impact on the organization's public image, so the chosen candidate will have to be involved in all external marketing and public relations activities.

PACE has outlined a detailed list of requirements that applicants must meet to be considered for this position. Here are some of those qualifications:

• Baccalaureate degree required. Advanced degree in relevant field such as Business Administration, Fundraising or Nonprofit Administration preferred.
• Must have a minimum of 6 to 8 years director-level experience in fundraising or a relevant field: marketing/sales, communications, public relations. Previous experience working in nonprofit agencies preferred. 
• Must be proficient in Word, Excel, Power-Point. Experience with fundraising software(Salesforce) and graphic design software highly desirable.
• Possess a valid California driver’s license with a good driving record and proof of insurance.
