OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION
 

THIS POSITION IS FULLY REMOTE. RESIDENCY IN CALIFORNIA IS REQUIRED.

POSITION OVERVIEW
The Vice President of Development provides strategic leadership and direction for all fundraising and philanthropic programs at Seneca Family of Agencies. This is a transformative opportunity to lead a growing development function at an organization that is, for the first time in its history, prioritizing philanthropy as a strategic imperative.

Over the past five years, Seneca has raised $28 million in philanthropic funds, averaging $5.6 million annually. An independent philanthropic assessment has identified more than $16 million in major giving potential from within the existing donor pool, with over 450 prospective major gift donors not yet assigned to a portfolio. The Vice President of Development will lead the team and systems needed to activate this potential and build Seneca's philanthropic program toward goals of $7.5 million within three years and $10 million within five years.

SALARY/BENEFITS

  • Salary Range: $165,000-$179,000 commensurate with experience, with annual increases

  • Benefits include:

    • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, chiropractic, and acupuncture coverage

    • 50% of dependent premiums covered by Seneca

    • Long-term disability, family leave, and life insurance

    • 403(b) retirement plan

    • Employer-paid Employee Assistance Program

    • Five weeks of paid time off plus 11 paid holidays

    • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) certified employer

    • Robust professional development, scholarship, and internal promotion opportunities

LOCATION: Fully remote; residency in California required. Regional headquarters in Oakland, CA.

YOU ARE

  • A strategic fundraiser who can align philanthropic goals with organizational mission and inspire others to execute with excellence.

  • Experienced in cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major gift relationships with individuals, foundations, and corporations.

  • Skilled at building systems and infrastructure where they do not yet exist — comfortable being a builder as much as a manager.

  • Experienced in working with boards, executive leadership, and community leaders to advance a culture of philanthropy.

  • An effective leader of diverse, high-performing teams, with a track record of developing staff and fostering collaboration across departments.

  • Deeply committed to equity, inclusion, and the communities that Seneca serves—those who have historically been underserved by traditional systems of care.
