Job description
Chief Development Officer
Reporting to the President and CEO
The role offers a flexible remote/hybrid work arrangement.
For over 120 years, the American Lung Association (ALA) has remained steadfast in their mission of saving lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through education, advocacy, and research. Today, ALA stands as a trusted leader in lung health education, advocacy, and research, with strategic imperatives focused on defeating lung cancer, creating a tobacco-free future, championing clean air, and improving quality of life for those living with lung disease.
Working closely with the CEO, the Chief Development Officer (CDO) will be responsible for driving the planning, development, and management of all revenue programs for ALA including developing strategic objectives for the Development department. Alongside the CEO and Executive Leadership Team members, the CDO will develop a strategic direction to respond to the organization's revenue, management, and external engagement needs, as well as direct and guide the stewardship of ALA's current and potential donors, sponsors, and partners.
The CDO is ALA's chief revenue strategist and fundraiser. The CDO partners closely with other members of the Executive Leadership Team to align revenue plans with the organization's strategic priorities. The CDO serves as a core member of the Executive Leadership Team and is responsible for designing, leading, and executing a unified performance-oriented advancement program that grows diversified revenue, strengthens donor relationships, and uses data and technology to inform strategy.
ALA seeks a development executive with proven management and leadership experience in a similar position in a voluntary health organization, college or university, healthcare environment, or a related nonprofit organization. This is an exceptional opportunity to help lead a strong, nationally recognized organization with a long history and a powerful mission—to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
The role offers a flexible remote/hybrid work arrangement. Candidates based in the Chicago area will work on a hybrid basis from the American Lung Association's Chicago office.
