Chief Development Officer
The Chief Development Officer is primarily responsible for both attaining funding from and maintaining relationships with JYI's sponsors. This may involve contacting new companies or organizations about supporting JYI's mission or keeping past sponsors informed about JYI's current operations. The CDO is also responsible for maintaining financial records, preparing and filing necessary legal forms, and managing expenditures. The CDO also serves on JYI's Board of Directors, which directs the organization as a whole.
Job Requirements: The Chief Development Officer is a Board of Directors position, and, like all BOD positions, requires a commitment of at least 10 hours per week. All communication is via internet or phone, so no geographical constraints exist – the CDO may live anywhere in the world. All JYI staff are expected to check their email daily and respond promptly if necessary.
Preferred Skills or Experience: The Chief Development Officer must be creative, comfortable with writing, and willing to make unsolicited contact with companies and organizations. Leadership and organizational skills are essential, as the CDO coordinates a staff of financial officers in acheiving the financial goals of JYI. Past fund raising and financial experience is also essential.
