About Greenhouse Scholars

Greenhouse Scholars is a diverse community of leaders working together to ensure people of all backgrounds can live a life of their choosing.

Our vision is to create a community of leaders who will evolve the communities of the world. Our values are leadership, community, relentlessness, and accountability. We are a non-profit that operates more like a for-profit. We are change agents who are bold and innovative, optimistic and engaging, gritty and accountable, and builders of relationships and community.  We are seeking a high-performing candidate to fill a critical role on our team.

About this role
We are looking for a dynamic person to manage existing relationships and cultivate new ones with individual donors, corporate partners, foundations, mentors, volunteers, and alumni of our program.  You will be responsible for building trust, customizing interactions, and growing these relationships to become increasingly meaningful, multi-faceted, and valuable to the organization.

This position is in our Boulder, Colorado office (with frequent meetings throughout the Denver metro area) and is not virtual or remote.  

This job might be for you if…
You enjoy seeking and developing outstanding leaders across industries and generations, building economic opportunity, and measuring ROI.  You listen carefully, understand what people value, anticipate their preferences, and deliver.  You are by nature a persuasive person with the ability to envision a solution, get others on board with your vision, and execute to achieve it.  You seek out people from different backgrounds or divergent world-views, and you help them create meaningful connections with one another.  You are a results-oriented relationship builder.

Responsibilities include:

• Manage the organization's most important donor region with an ownership mentality and focus on solutions and results.
