Job description

Position Title: Director of Growth and Partnerships
Location: 11821 East Freeway, Suite 500, Houston, TX 77029
Employment Type: Full-Time
Work Mode: In-Person
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer
Salary Range: $85,000 - $100,000 annually, plus performance bonus

ABOUT EHCEC


EHCEC is the regional development anchor for East Harris County.

We build systems.
We move fast.
We measure outcomes, not activity.

There is no playbook for this work.
This region has been underserved for decades.
You are not stepping into a polished system — you are helping to build it.

EHCEC does not run disconnected initiatives or transactional efforts. We build institutional systems that move capital, partnerships, and communities from fragmentation to alignment.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS


Regional transformation fails when growth is person-dependent.

Without a strong growth system:

  • Revenue relies on individual relationships
  • Staff burn out
  • Partnerships remain transactional
  • Growth creates strain instead of capacity
  • The Director of Growth & Partnerships exists to solve this problem by building and running EHCEC's growth engine day to day.

    This role ensures the organization can generate diversified, trackable revenue through disciplined execution, strong partnerships, and systems — not heroics.

    This is not a strategy role.
    The strategy is already defined.

    This is an execution and ownership role responsible for turning strategy into results.

    THE ROLE


    The Director of Growth & Partnerships is responsible for building, running, and improving EHCEC's growth engine.

    This role is not defined by hustle or personal heroics.
    It is defined by pipeline ownership, follow-through, systems discipline, and results.

    You will:

  • Run the revenue engine
  • Build and manage pipelines
  • Own HubSpot as the system of record
  • Activate partners and volunteers to open doors
  • Convert relationships into financial commitments
  • Success in this role is measured by movement, conversion, and reliability — not noise.

    PROGRAM SCALE & FINANCIAL SCOPE


    Through execution and ownership, this role is accountable for:

  • Influencing and securing $750,000–$1,000,000 in diversified revenue annually
  • Reducing reliance on any single funding source
  • Supporting corporate, individual, earned-revenue, and sponsorship pipelines
  • Creating visibility and predictability for leadership through disciplined reporting
  • WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR


    1. Growth Execution & Capital Pipelines


  • Execute EHCEC's defined growth strategy
  • Build and manage diversified revenue pipelines
  • Qualify prospects and move them through defined stages
  • Secure financial commitments from corporate, community, and individual partners
  • Coordinate CEO involvement in high-level asks

    1. Partnerships & Relationship Management


  • Build and steward relationships with business, civic, and philanthropic leaders
  • Represent EHCEC externally with professionalism and credibility
  • Convert relationships into long-term, values-aligned partnerships
  • Maintain consistent stewardship and renewal practices

    1. Volunteer Leadership & Door-Opening


  • Recruit and manage volunteer leaders and committees
  • Equip volunteers with clear roles, talking points, and asks
  • Use committees as a force multiplier to open doors and warm introductions
  • Track volunteer activity and outcomes

    1. HubSpot Sales Hub (System Ownership)


  • Own HubSpot Sales Hub as the system of record
  • Ensure all prospects, partners, and activity are logged
  • Build pipelines, workflows, dashboards, and task queues
  • Enforce data hygiene, follow-up discipline, and standard usage
  • Train users and protect institutional memory

    1. Revenue Reporting & Performance
  • Produce regular pipeline and performance reports
  • Track revenue by source, stage, and probability
  • Identify bottlenecks, risks, and opportunities early
  • Support budgeting and forecasting with accurate data

    1. Internal Collaboration


  • Partner closely with the CEO on priority relationships and asks
  • Coordinate with Communications and Programs to ensure alignment
  • Ensure partnerships align with organizational priorities and capacity
  • WHO THIS JOB IS FOR


    A builder who wants to create something from zero

    Someone comfortable owning results end-to-end

    A relationship-driven executor who can ask for money

    A systems-minded operator who values CRM discipline

    A professional who prefers action over analysis

    WHO THIS JOB IS NOT FOR


    A strategy-only professional

    Someone who avoids direct outreach or asking

    A marketing or communications role

    Anyone who dislikes CRMs or tracking activity

    Candidates seeking remote or low-accountability work

    WHAT YOU BRING


  • 5–10 years of experience in business development, fundraising, or partnerships
  • Track record of securing financial commitments
  • Experience building pipelines or systems from scratch
  • Strong relationship and communication skills
  • CRM experience (HubSpot preferred)
  • Comfort working in person and in the community
  • High follow-through and ownership mindset
  • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (30 / 60 / 90 DAYS)
