IMPLEMENTATION DIRECTOR

Implementation Director

To drive CARE's 2030 Impact Strategy to save lives and defeat poverty across 100+ countries, CARE is pursuing an ambitious and transformative fundraising program. Led by the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), over the last few years CARE has achieved ambitious goals and record revenue growth across the International NGO sector. The Resource Development team is creative, strategic, and laser-focused on diversifying funding channels and accelerating the growth of money to mission. The Implementation Director reports directly to the CRO and plays a critical role in translating strategy into action and driving key implementation of the big priorities and effective running of the team.

The Implementation Director sits alongside the CRO in key meetings and strategic discussions, then drives follow-through by ensuring projects are implemented and actions are completed. This role manages major initiatives and facilitates collaboration across channels and markets to deliver the Resource Development plan.

The Implementation Director serves as a force multiplier for the CRO's office, ensuring efficient scheduling and resource allocation so the CRO can focus on maximum ROI activities. This role acts as a bridge between the CRO, the RD Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and other teams to execute initiatives and troubleshoot operational challenges. The Implementation Director serves as the primary troubleshooter for execution challenges, convening appropriate stakeholders as needed.

A brand new Revenue Plan will see CARE accelerate successful fundraising models as well as launch into new markets and models. The Implementation Director will be a key support partner for the Implementation Director and AVP of Operations, Planning & Analysis to make this happen.

The Implementation Director brings deep project management expertise and experience in revenue development across private channels, funding landscapes, and donor relationships. This exciting position is a critical partner to the CRO for continued revenue success in a tough market and fundraising climate.
