    Description

    About Rocky Mountain Prep

    Rocky Mountain Prep is a growing network of innovative public charter schools serving students and families in the Greater Denver Area. Rocky Mountain Prep (RMP) opened its first school in 2012 with 130 students and has grown to twelve schools, working with over 5,000 scholars in PreK through 12th grade across two districts. Grounded in our culture of rigor and love, our schools consistently outperform local districts academically while ensuring our scholars develop in our PEAK values of perseverance, excellence, adventure, and kindness.

    Who We Seek:

    We seek teachers and staff who are interested in developing students into outstanding human beings in their academic and personal lives by role-modeling our culture of Rigor and Love. Work collaboratively with their teammates and seek feedback, coaching, and mentorship from their admin team and school community. Implement our data-driven curriculum with the tools they've gained from experience while they adapt to the needs of their students.

    If you are someone who is mission-driven, humble in your reflections about your practice, smart in the ways you approach data and are results-oriented, we'd love to see you apply.

    During the school year, RMP is driving after five big goals:

    1. Going Green on the Colorado School Performance Framework
    2. 90% Student Persistence
    3. 95% Average Daily Attendance
    4. Fully Enrolled by October Count
    5. Academics:
      1. PreK Students demonstrate one year of growth
      2. Kinder through 2nd Grade Students grow 1.25 years in ELA and Math
      3. 40% of 3rd through 5th-grade students meet their Millionaire Goal (one million words read)
      4. 40% of 6th through 8th grade students meet their millionaire goal (two million words read)
      5. High school: 100% College Acceptance
    Each member of the organization plays a part in achieving these goals. School-based staff members will work towards 2 or 3 metrics that are aligned to both their individual roles AND the Big 5. These metrics vary by position and are subject to change for the school year. As a Development Manager, you will be held accountable for some of these goals.

    Role Mission

    In collaboration with the Managing Director of Philanthropy, the Development Manager will implement and execute an aggressive, relationship-based fundraising strategy that includes major gifts, corporation and foundation partnerships, individual giving programs, and special events.

      • Meet monthly with the finance team to review and reconcile funds received and advise how the funds should be booked
      • Ensure schools follow proper protocols and procedures when pursuing fundraising opportunities
    The must haves...
    • Adaptability & persistence - you push work forward through obstacles and adapt quickly as development/support needs change. You are relentless in your pursuit to give our students the opportunities and resources they deserve.
    • Relationship-builder - you are enthusiastic about finding areas of alignment and facilitating purposeful and joyful asks that enable donors to enact their values. You have the ability to influence and inspire others to get involved in philanthropy, internally and externally.
    • Superior organizational skills - you create thoughtful project plans, are extremely proactive and ensure all deadlines are met with 100% follow-through. You are able to prioritize your time wisely and manage projects that overlap, in addition to ongoing responsibilities.
