About the role

The Washington School for Girls in Washington, DC seeks a Chief Development Officer to lead fundraising across annual operations, a capital campaign, and special projects. You will build and manage a donor portfolio, supervise a team of 4+ staff and consultants, and partner with the President and Board to advance the school's mission. This role is based on campus with current operations virtual as needed, and will engage families, foundations, and corporate partners to secure sustained support.

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.
