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
Prepare the organization for ongoing capital needs and future campaign opportunities
This is a defining leadership role at a pivotal moment-requiring a leader who can build, execute, and partner at a high level simultaneously.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Growth Mandate & Revenue Accountability
This role carries clear responsibility for both fundraising performance and long-term revenue growth.
The Chief Development Officer is expected to deliver measurable results in the near term while building the systems, strategy, and relationships required for sustained growth over time.
Key expectations include:
Grow annual philanthropic revenue from approximately $15M to $20M+ over the next 2-3 years
Build and manage a major and principal gift portfolio targeting gifts of $25,000 to $250,000+
Increase donor retention, average gift size, and multi-year commitments
Expand revenue across individuals, corporations, and foundations
Reactivate and grow a portfolio of dormant and lapsed donors, unlocking existing but under-leveraged relationships
Strengthening the major gifts pipeline, including identification, qualification, and movement of high-capacity prospects
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
Build a diversified and resilient philanthropic portfolio that reduces volatility and supports long-term sustainability
Success will be measured by both revenue outcomes and the strength, sustainability, and scalability of the development function.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Role & Core Responsibilities
The Chief Development Officer is a senior executive responsible for building, integrating, and leading SAFE's overall external engagement and philanthropic strategy.
This leader will operate as both a strategic architect and a hands-on fundraiser-personally engaging top donors while building the systems, team, and cross-functional alignment required for long-term growth.
This role requires the ability to deliver near-term revenue results while strengthening infrastructure, performance, and accountability across the development function and related teams.
Revenue Strategy & Execution
Develop and execute a multi-year fundraising strategy aligned with organizational priorities and growth targets
Lead all aspects of philanthropy, including major gifts, annual giving, corporate partnerships, and foundation support

Lead cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of top-tier donors

Development Infrastructure & Operations
Build and strengthen systems, processes, and reporting to support disciplined, scalable growth
Optimize CRM, donor analytics, segmentation, and performance tracking
Establish clear forecasting, goal setting, and accountability structures across the function
Drive a data-informed culture that links activity to outcomes
Team Leadership & Performance
Lead, coach, and develop a development team of approximately 10 staff, including individuals with varied levels of fundraising experience
Oversee communications and marketing staff (approximately 3 team members), ensuring alignment with fundraising strategy and organizational positioning
Assess team structure, capabilities, and performance; make adjustments as needed to strengthen execution and results
Establish clear roles, expectations, and performance metrics across teams
Foster a culture of accountability, ownership, continuous improvement, and professional development
External Strategy, Marketing & Communications
Oversee and align marketing and communications as a core component of fundraising and external engagement strategy
Ensure consistency and strength in messaging, brand positioning, and storytelling
Strengthen how SAFE communicates its impact, value, and role within broader public systems
Integrate donor engagement, communications, and external visibility into a cohesive strategy
Board & CEO Partnership
Strengthen board engagement, accountability, and participation in fundraising
Equip board members with tools, structure, and clear expectations
Partner with the Board Development Committee to increase giving and involvement
Work in close partnership with the CEO to expand external relationships, co-manage key donors, and drive strategic engagement

Full time
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
Prepare the organization for ongoing capital needs and future campaign opportunities
This is a defining leadership role at a pivotal moment-requiring a leader who can build, execute, and partner at a high level simultaneously.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Growth Mandate & Revenue Accountability
This role carries clear responsibility for both fundraising performance and long-term revenue growth.
The Chief Development Officer is expected to deliver measurable results in the near term while building the systems, strategy, and relationships required for sustained growth over time.
Key expectations include:
Grow annual philanthropic revenue from approximately $15M to $20M+ over the next 2-3 years
Build and manage a major and principal gift portfolio targeting gifts of $25,000 to $250,000+
Increase donor retention, average gift size, and multi-year commitments
Expand revenue across individuals, corporations, and foundations
Reactivate and grow a portfolio of dormant and lapsed donors, unlocking existing but under-leveraged relationships
Strengthening the major gifts pipeline, including identification, qualification, and movement of high-capacity prospects
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
Build a diversified and resilient philanthropic portfolio that reduces volatility and supports long-term sustainability
Success will be measured by both revenue outcomes and the strength, sustainability, and scalability of the development function.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Role & Core Responsibilities
The Chief Development Officer is a senior executive responsible for building, integrating, and leading SAFE's overall external engagement and philanthropic strategy.
