About the role

Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation is launching two Relationship Manager positions to work closely with grantmaking and community impact leaders at the Foundation to prepare them for careers in philanthropy. This experiential learning cohort is designed as an entry-level on-ramp for individuals new to philanthropy. It emphasizes active grants management, portfolio development, and donor-engagement activities within Minnesota communities.

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.
