About the role

San Francisco SPCA in the Bay Area seeks a Senior Director, Emerging Philanthropy to lead major gifts strategy and donor engagement. You will manage a portfolio of 60–80 principal gift prospects and collaborate with senior leaders to advance the Access for All campaign. This role emphasizes sophisticated gift structures, family offices, DAFs, CRTs, and donor-advised funds, with a focus on high‑net‑worth philanthropy and providing thoughtful stewardship.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
