    Search for the Chief
    Development Officer

    PolicyLink

    Oakland, California (or
    remote)

    "This is equity: Just and fair inclusion into a society in
    which all can participate, prosper, and reach their
    full potential. Unlocking the promise of the nation by unleashing
    the promise in us all."

    – Excerpt from PolicyLink's Equity
    Manifesto

    Envision a nation that cherishes the humanity of all its people,
    where every individual can actively engage, flourish, and shape
    their own destiny. Despite the founding pledge of freedom, liberty,
    and justice for all Americans, this ideal remains unfulfilled, as
    the foundational systems and structures of society do not deliver
    on these core principles. Consequently, 100 million individuals in
    the United States, including 55 million people of color, are living
    in or near poverty. PolicyLink, a national institution dedicated to
    advancing racial and economic equity in the U.S., maintains that a
    nation designed to benefit everyone is still within reach. It is
    the diverse populace of this nation—families, neighbors, and
    communities—that has long embraced a vision beyond the status quo,
    edging us closer to the realization of democracy's promise, and
    PolicyLink contends that this vibrant, multiracial democracy is one
    we must collectively forge.

    Established in Oakland, California, in 1999, PolicyLink works to
    change systems and structures—and accelerates the work of other key
    actors—to transform our democracy, economy, and communities so that
    they truly serve all. Over the last quarter of a century, the
    organization has built a broad-based, national movement for equity,
    securing more than $5 billion in major policy wins and practice
    changes across government entities and corporations, and PolicyLink
    has become recognized as a national treasure.

    Today, PolicyLink is seeking an enterprising, dynamic,
    collaborative, and results-driven revenue-generator and
    institution-builder to join its leadership team as chief
    development officer (CDO).

    Working closely with CEO and President, Dr.
    Michael McAfee, the CDO will devise and implement development
    strategies to advance the organization's compelling mission. In
    recent years, PolicyLink has achieved remarkable success with its
    agile and entrepreneurial approach to development, raising
    approximately $50 million annually and currently spearheading a
    $300 million capital campaign. In a landscape where few policy
    advocacy organizations led by people of color have achieved
    enduring impact, PolicyLink stands out as an exception. This rarity
    is largely attributed to the challenge of insufficient resources
    hindering scalability. However, PolicyLink is privileged to be in
    this advantageous position and is poised to continue to make
    significant strides toward creating a nation that works for
    all.

    PolicyLink's incoming CDO will work to amplify the already
    formidable strengths of the organization's current development
    efforts and will expertly steer a talented team of development
    professionals towards ambitious objectives, establishing a robust
    infrastructure for PolicyLink's future initiatives. PolicyLink's
    fundraising team is committed to propelling development endeavors
    to unprecedented levels under the guidance of the CDO, and the
    fundraising team will work closely with other colleagues throughout
    the organization. Together, the PolicyLink team will ensure that
    the organization is endowed with resources befitting the stature of
    the nation's most influential policy institutions.

    This successful CDO will embody a blend of intellectual
    curiosity, strong social acumen, a profound sense of
    accountability, and a bias toward action. They will demonstrate
    exceptional communication skills and seamlessly navigate
    interpersonal interactions with keen emotional intelligence.
    Additionally, the CDO will have a stellar track record in resource
    mobilization, personally securing significant seven-figure gifts
    while adeptly nurturing and expanding development teams and
    offering strategic counsel to senior leadership. They will also
    broaden and diversify funding sources, introduce new organizational
    systems and frameworks, refine performance metrics, and harness
    data-driven insights to inform strategic decision-making.

    The incoming CDO will serve as a vital ambassador for
    PolicyLink, effectively conveying the organization's message,
    voice, and vision to diverse audiences. Equally crucial, they will
    demonstrate unwavering dedication to PolicyLink's mission and
    possess an understanding and appreciation of the organization's
    history, achievements, and future aspirations.

    PolicyLink is headquartered in Oakland, California, and many of
    its remote staff are located across the country. The successful
    candidate for this position will have the flexibility to work
    remotely, with regular travel to Oakland.

    PolicyLink has retained the national executive search firm
    Isaacson, Miller to assist in conducting this search. Inquiries,
    nominations, and applications (including resume and 2–3-page letter
    of interest responding to the opportunities/challenges outlined
    above) should be sent via the Isaacson, Miller website for the
    search:

    Compensation for this position will be competitive and
    commensurate with experience, with a salary range estimated at
    $400,000. The organization also provides generous and comprehensive
    benefits. PolicyLink is based in Oakland, California; this role can
    be based remotely, with regular travel to Oakland.

    Consultants conducting this recruitment include:

    Rebecca Swartz, Partner; Kennedy Kearney-Fischer, Managing
    Associate; and Karson Freeman, Associate

    PolicyLink strongly values equity and believes in a just and
    fair society where all can participate, prosper, and reach their
    full potential. We work toward a more inclusive world, and as such,
    we are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate
    against any employee or applicant for employment because of race,

    national origin, disability, age, marital status, military status,
    pregnancy, or parenthood. PolicyLink is committed to maintaining a
    diverse and multicultural working environment.
