Stand Together Ventures Lead (Development & Fundraising)

Job Description

Job Description

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

Stand Together Ventures is building a community of entrepreneurial partners—founders, investors, and builders—who are accelerating Stand Together’s boldest strategies through their time, talent, and resources. These are not passive donors. They are partners in transformation.

We’re looking for a leader to guide and grow this network—someone with firsthand experience in entrepreneurship or building incredible things, and the vision to shape this group into the future of Stand Together. You’ll help early-stage entrepreneurs realize their potential and play catalytic roles in our efforts to Define the American Dream through transforming education, unleashing economic opportunity, strengthening communities, and bridging the divides that are threatening to tear our country apart.

If you’ve built companies, communities, or capital networks—and you’re ready to do the same in social change—let's talk!

What You Will Contribute

• Lead Stand Together Ventures : Own the strategy, growth, and culture of Stand Together’s fastest growing donor community, ensuring every partner is positioned to contribute based on their unique comparative advantage.
• Build the Community : Identify, recruit, and onboard high-potential business leaders early in their philanthropic journey—and support their evolution into high-impact partners.
• Drive Partner Engagement : Match partners with our most transformational “100x” opportunities. Support them in co-creating strategies, launching initiatives, and shaping Stand Together’s future.
• Enable Peer Leadership : Create environments—events, salons, working groups—where Stand Together Ventures members connect, learn, and lead together.
• Scale Through Referrals : Design and execute community-driven growth through the Super Recruiter Program, helping Ventures partners identify and engage new members.
• Collaborate Across Stand Together : Work alongside Development, Strategy, Policy, and Program teams to turn partner engagement into meaningful progress on Stand Together’s priorities.

PBM® empowers our employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.

We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success, and that is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
