    About the Employer


    Founded in 1994, as one of the first charter schools in California, TAS was guided then, and the charter cluster still is today, by the founding belief that all students can excel when nurtured in an environment that combines high expectations and active involvement from parents and the community.

    Through an innovative, rigorous curriculum coupled with intentional guidance and instruction, TAS strives to graduate students who are lifelong learners and engaged citizens, well-prepared to succeed in college and beyond.

    The next CEO will inherit a dynamic community of three schools located on the same street, with state-of-the-art, modern campuses, and separate charters - brought to life by 1,770 students and 231 staff, with a positive reputation, top-notch facilities, and an exceptionally strong financial position-poised for continued success.



    Job Summary


    The Director of Development is a dynamic and highly motivated team player who will collaborate closely with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Board of Trustees, and campus leaders on developing and executing strategies that bring philanthropic resources into the organization.

    The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, enjoys autonomy, and is committed to building a robust fundraising program. This individual should be proactive, innovative, and capable of identifying new development opportunities. We seek someone with a genuine interest in cultivating authentic relationships with donors and leading fundraising efforts.
