Foster productive working relationships through early consultation, open communication and constructive problem-solving.

Communicate the case for support

Work with communications and program colleagues to tell compelling stories about Science North’s impact and the difference philanthropic support makes.
Develop persuasive proposals, cases for support and donor communications that connect supporter interests with organizational priorities.
Guide fundraising events and campaigns with clear objectives for revenue, relationship development and stewardship.

Lead the Development team and its operations

Lead, coach and support a small Development team, setting clear priorities and contributing directly to fundraising activities.

Establish realistic targets and provide timely forecasts and reporting on revenue, fundraising costs, donor retention and pipeline development.
Uphold ethical fundraising practices, donor confidentiality and accountability for donor commitments, working closely with Finance and other colleagues.

A collaborative leadership approach, with demonstrated ability to build trust across teams and connect fundraising efforts to organizational priorities.
Sound business judgment, including the ability to assess funding opportunities in relation to their financial contribution, delivery costs and operational requirements.
Strong relationship-building and communication skills, with the ability to listen carefully, understand donor interests and articulate a compelling case for support.
Confidence contributing ideas and perspectives, openness to feedback, and the ability to work through differences respectfully and support collective decisions.
A practical, hands-on approach, with the ability to balance strategic leadership, direct fundraising and the day-to-day needs of a small team.
Experience coaching staff, setting clear expectations and fostering a respectful, accountable and supportive work environment.
