The Company is seeking a Chief Development Officer & Executive Director for its Foundation. The successful candidate will be a seasoned fundraiser with a proven track record in major gift and capital campaign solicitation, including the successful closing of 6- and 7-figure leadership gifts. This role is pivotal in driving the strategic fundraising initiatives of the Foundation, particularly in support of the museum's ambitious $75 million Reimagine the Experience Capital Campaign. The CDO will be responsible for leading donor stewardship efforts, managing a team of fundraising professionals, and maintaining strong relationships with a wide range of funders, partners, and community leaders.
