Chief Development Officer (CDO) Austin, Texas (Hybrid)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Opportunity
The SAFE Alliance is seeking a Chief Development Officer to lead a transformational phase of philanthropic growth and organizational impact.
This is not a maintenance role. This is a build, scale, and lead role.
The SAFE Alliance (SAFE) is one of the largest nonprofit organizations in Central Texas, operating at the intersection of crisis response, prevention, housing stability, and long-term healing. With an annual operating budget of approximately $30M and philanthropy as a critical revenue driver, SAFE is poised for its next phase of growth.
The Chief Development Officer will partner directly with the CEO, Board of Directors, and Executive Leadership Team to build a high-performing, accountable development function that can sustain and expand SAFE's impact across the region.
This leader will be responsible for both delivering near-term revenue results and building the long-term systems and strategy required to scale philanthropy.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why This Role, Why Now
SAFE has strong community credibility, mission urgency, and programmatic scale. The organization is already operating at meaningful size and impact-but the development function has not yet reached the level of discipline, infrastructure, and performance required to sustain the next phase of growth.
This role exists to close that gap.
The next phase of SAFE's trajectory requires more than incremental improvement. It requires building a development function that is both high performing in the near term and structurally sound for long-term scale. That means delivering revenue today while putting in place the systems, processes, and expectations that make growth repeatable.
This role is designed to:
Build a disciplined, data-informed, and scalable fundraising engine from a partially developed foundation
Expand major and principal gift capacity while strengthening donor strategy and execution
Establish the systems, tools, and processes required for consistent performance and accountability
Activate the CEO and Board more fully in fundraising through shared ownership of relationships
Align development, marketing, communications, and external engagement into a cohesive external strategy

This is a defining leadership role at a pivotal moment-requiring a leader who can build, execute, and partner at a high level simultaneously.

Build and manage a major and principal gift portfolio targeting gifts of $25,000 to $250,000+

Expand revenue across individuals, corporations, and foundations
Reactivate and grow a portfolio of dormant and lapsed donors, unlocking existing but under-leveraged relationships

Drive greater engagement and accountability from the CEO and Board in fundraising, resulting in increased participation and giving
Establish clear performance metrics, reporting, and forecasting to enable disciplined revenue management

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
The DLCC’s sole mission is to win Democratic majorities and build Democratic power in state legislatures. To grow governing power, we battle to win and hold majorities, build their capacity to be self-sustaining, and expand the map cycle over cycle to shape the future of this country. As the official party committee dedicated to state legislatures, we also represent and elevate our ballot level on the national stage to bring more attention and resources to this ballot level.
Over the last decade, a reimagined and reinvigorated Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has reversed electoral trends and shifted the competitive state legislative map in this new decade. While fighting from behind due to Republicans’ massive war chest, rigged maps, and focus among Democrats and progressives on the federal level, the DLCC has won back a dozen majorities in the states – including a historic midterm election cycle in 2022 when Democrats flipped four chambers red to blue, and the President’s party did not lose a single chamber for the first time in modern history.
The DLCC is an all-of-the-above committee that operates year-round, providing funds for the full scope of campaign work and running significant independent advertising to win races. The data, targeting, organizing, digital, communications and fundraising support, and strategic expertise we provide to states is invaluable. Winning state legislatures doesn’t happen in a single election — they are multi-cycle plays, and the DLCC’s work with our caucuses to lay the groundwork for future Democratic wins. And when the DLCC secures new majorities, Democrats move quickly on an agenda that protects fundamental freedoms and builds an economy for all.
The DLCC has momentum in our strategy for the decade, and we cannot let up. Extreme MAGA Republicans are showing no signs of slowing down their anti-democratic crusade, and there’s a long fight ahead of us that will require more investment, attention, and resources for state legislative races. Every victory at our level of the ballot is a win for the future of the Democratic Party, and this year, we’re capitalizing on our progress so far to defend our ground and keep expanding the map for Democratic power.
Alongside our mission, we also value our team. We are explicit about our culture and values and how they impact our work and collaboration with others. The DLCC staff, along with our Board of Directors, are committed to holding ourselves to a standard of respect, inclusion, growth, and performance that meets the political and organizational requirements of the future we want to build.
Director of Marketing
The Director of Marketing is responsible for shaping and leading an integrated marketing strategy across online and offline channels that elevates awareness of the power of state legislatures and DLCC, deepens engagement and stakeholder trust in our work and impact, and drives sustainable fundraising growth.

INITIATIVE: We exhibit high levels of creativity in our work and need all team members to proactively contribute ideas to move our work forward.
RESULTS DRIVEN: Our team undertakes projects professionally and executes them fully and to completion.
RISK: We identify opportunities to employ new ideas and tactics, and execute these ideas when we believe the potential reward outweighs the risk. We evaluate, learn, and improve our strategy, both when the risks pay off and when they do not.
TEAMWORK: We work collaboratively, additively, and in sync with our colleagues. Our individual work considers the needs, capacity, and expertise of those we work alongside.
