Director of Development & Engagement, The Land Trust for Tennessee
The Director of Development & Engagement serves as LTTN’s chief fundraiser in direct partnership with LTTN’s President & CEO. This role designs and implements fundraising strategies to meet a $2.6+ million operating budget (which includes but is not limited to individual, corporate, foundation, and events revenue streams). This role also leads periodic planned, capital, and acquisition campaigns; and maximizes LTTN’s brand awareness through community engagement and external communications. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated, nimble, disciplined leader who embodies and inspires a culture of philanthropy. The Director of Development & Engagement must have the composure and sophistication to make genuine and long-term connections with LTTN leaders (including Board members, high net worth donors, and corporate partners), moving them to deeper levels of commitment to LTTN. This role should naturally adapt to shifting needs and situations and thrive in a culture of collaboration and accountability.
