Job Description
Manager of Advancement
Reports To: Director of Advancement
Supervises: None
Location: Remote Capable
FTE Status: 1FTE, Exempt
Salary Range: $71,600 - $93,100
Posting Date: September 11, 2024

Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) seeks an engaging, innovative, and collaborative fundraiser, strategic communicator, and relationship builder to serve as Manager of Advancement. The Manager of Advancement will work closely with the Director of Advancement and the broader Global Philanthropic Partnerships Team to grow philanthropic support and strengthen partnerships to advance our organizational strategic priorities.

Health Care Without Harm is the leading global non-profit dedicated to transforming the health sector to be environmentally sustainable and support the health and climate resilience of the communities they serve. HCWH and its affiliated organizations provide strategy, technical assistance, policy guidance, resources, and a global network of strategic partners and health systems to achieve our vision for a zero-emissions, climate-resilient, and equitable health sector. HCWH plays a unique role as a systems orchestrator or field catalyst: transforming the health sector not by scaling a single solution, but rather by mobilizing and coordinating unified efforts to solve problems at scale. The Manager of Advancement role will help HCWH expand its overall impact and reach.

HCWH approaches fundraising in a collaborative, team-based manner, where no one individual is responsible for revenue generation for the entire organization. Given this, the Manager will engage closely with technical experts, executive leadership, and other stakeholders to develop compelling funding requests, messaging materials, and tailored funder and prospect relationship management approaches to support our strategies and advance our mission.

Currently, we are raising $77 million to support our three-year HCWH US Strategic Plan, whose north star is a zero-emissions, climate-resilient, and equitable health sector. We are also finalizing a global strategic plan that will launch later this year focused on climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and plastics phase-out.

While the role will engage across all our funder segments, in particular, this position will advance our focus on building and growing funding from high-net wealth individuals and family foundations. This role will complement the work of the Director of Advancement and the Chief Development Officer.

The ideal candidate is a mid-career individual with demonstrated fundraising success and experience, equipping them with familiarity with current trends and actors in the philanthropic landscape. The Manager of Advancement will have strong judgment, discretion, and the personality to deftly navigate the diverse motivations and preferences of individuals and family foundations. Our ideal candidate will have some familiarity with complex global health, environment, development, and/or climate change issues, including scaling pathways for systems change. It is essential that the Manager of Advancement has a strong ability to communicate complex topics verbally and in writing in a concise and compelling manner, and has experience crafting proposals, explanatory program collateral, and other communication materials (i.e. email updates, talking points, and presentations). They will also have demonstrated experience building successful working relationships with program staff, leadership (i.e. C-Suite Staff and Board of Directors), experts, and other high-level individuals in the environment, climate, and health sectors.
