The Texas Tribune, the state's go-to source for Texas politics and public policy news, is an established leader in digital-first journalism, devoted to informing and engaging Texans through in-depth investigations and explanatory guides, as well as with rigorous enterprise, breaking news and beat reporting informed by data. Our newsroom covers a range of topics, including public and higher education, health and human services, mental health, immigration and the border, politics and threats to democracy, urban affairs, as well as climate, energy and the environment.
We produce robust, nonpartisan journalism in a variety of formats — including data visualizations, easily searchable databases and editorial events — bringing greater transparency and accountability to public policy, politics and government. The Tribune's storytelling goes deep to break down complicated issues that impact everyday Texans. As a result, those Texans have the tools to be more thoughtful and engaged — and not just at election time.
Our goal is to raise the level of civic engagement in communities far and wide and to return civility to public discourse on the issues that matter.
We are seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Chief Development and Growth Officer (CDGO) to lead our fundraising and revenue efforts and to secure the resources needed to fulfill our mission.
The CDGO will work closely with the Tribune's CEO, editor-in-chief, chief product officer, local program leaders and chief finance officer to build effective cross-team collaboration, ensuring that leadership effectively advances program goals aligned with revenue strategy. In concert with the CEO, editor-in-chief and the board of directors, you will develop and execute comprehensive revenue growth, sponsorship and fundraising strategies to achieve ambitious financial goals in support of our $14M organization.

About the Tribune
Here's what you should know about the Tribune. From day one, we've had disruption, innovation and risk-taking in our DNA. We're ambitious and still have the punch-above-your-weight mentality of a scrappy start-up. We want to become the number one media organization in Texas, and we're always looking to expand our boundaries. We're nonprofit because the challenging economic reality for the media these days obligates us to find a different way, reliable and sustainable, to fund serious journalism. We're nonpartisan because we live in the United States of Confirmation Bias — and we don't need to be part of the problem. We don't need to be yet another source of information affirming the voices and perspectives that are already in people's heads. At the same time, nonpartisan is not non-thinking. We call B.S. when B.S. needs to be called.
All of us at the Trib believe the best way to achieve that mission is to resemble the state we cover. We're committed to building an inclusive newsroom for people of all backgrounds and ages, and we're taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply for this role, including women, veterans, people of color, LGBTQ people and people with disabilities.
