Experience/Personal Qualifications:
Here are some other things to consider when evaluating if this role is right for you:

• Passionate: You should be someone who’s looking to have an impact on our community, but can see how your work inside Causewave helps increase the impact of the whole team. You should have a deep respect for the work of nonprofits of all sizes and mission areas.
• Relationship builder: You enjoy people and value building deep collaborative working relationships, on your own team and in the community. The principles of servant leadership are likely a good description of your philosophy for leading people.
• Communicator: The every day work of Causewave isn’t very everyday - most nonprofits are indirect service work with the community, but we are focused on helping the helpers. You will need to be good at making that case in person, in writing and in print - to nonprofits, funders and supporters.
• Strategist: You know that the best path from point A to point B isn’t always a straight line. That’s a skill that helps you develop approaches that lead to goals being achieved.
• Organized: You will have to balance long-term goals and short-term priorities and so will need to be great at planning, prioritization, process and: Getting. Stuff. Done. 

Preferred experience: 

• Minimum 10 years of professional experience required, including marketing and fund development responsibilities
• Meaningful work in or for the nonprofit sector, preferably as a professional, but as a volunteer would be cool, too
• Strong financial and business acumen
