Full Job Description Development Manager Dallas Location:
In-Office | Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM At Recruiterie, we partner with mission-driven nonprofits to identify and place exceptional talent that fuels growth and impact. We are currently working with a dynamic agency that supports a wide portfolio of nonprofit organizations across strategy, communications, and operations. A core need across their clients is strong, strategic fundraising and development support. This is where you come in. We are seeking a Development Manager who is equal parts strategist, executor, and relationship-builder—someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment and is energized by working across multiple missions and causes. The Opportunity In this role, you won't be confined to a single organization or campaign. Instead, you'll gain exposure to a diverse set of nonprofits—each with unique missions, challenges, and opportunities. If you've excelled in nonprofit development but are ready to broaden your impact and sharpen your skills across multiple organizations, this role offers a rare and rewarding path. What You'll Do Manage a portfolio of nonprofit clients, developing a deep understanding of each organization's mission, programs, and fundraising priorities Conduct prospect research and screening across individuals, corporations, and foundations Lead and manage the full grant lifecycle—from research and writing to submission and reporting Develop compelling donor communications, including emails, letters, proposals, and presentations Coordinate and implement donor stewardship strategies, ensuring thoughtful and timely engagement Track fundraising performance and activities using shared systems and documentation Collaborate closely with internal teams to ensure seamless execution of client projects Contribute creative ideas and strategic insights to elevate fundraising outcomes Support and coordinate client meetings, events, and internal initiatives as needed Play a key role in identifying community engagement opportunities and nonprofit events What You Bring A strong foundation in nonprofit fundraising and development strategy ( capital campaign experience is a plus ) Exceptional written and verbal communication skills The ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with precision and attention to detail A proactive, self-starting mindset with a collaborative spirit Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills High professionalism, discretion, and integrity Proficiency in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office Experience with donor databases and grant tracking platforms (e.g., Bonterra, Salesforce, Raiser's Edge) Experience Bachelor's degree required 3-5 years of nonprofit fundraising experience with a demonstrated track record of results Hands-on experience managing grant processes from start to finish Exposure to both annual and capital campaigns preferred What Makes This Role Different This is not your typical development position. You'll work in a highly collaborative, energetic office environment where support is constant and teamwork is the norm. From shared lunches to spontaneous check-ins, the culture is deeply connected and engaging. Because fundraising is often part of broader client engagements—including public affairs, PR, and community outreach—you'll collaborate across disciplines and gain a more holistic view of nonprofit growth. You'll also have the opportunity to: Attend and participate in community events, fundraisers, and nonprofit gatherings Help build training resources for nonprofit clients Expand your network across a wide range of organizations and donors A Day in the Life Regular 1:1s with the Vice President of Development to prioritize work and support your success Daily collaboration with team members to stay aligned on client needs Weekly client meetings (virtual and in-person), ranging from strategy sessions to execution-focused updates A mix of deep, focused work (grant writing, research) and dynamic collaboration (brainstorming, planning, events) In-Office | Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Types of clients you will work with: Healthcare (community campaign focused, raising $2M alongside a community of organization stakeholders) Animal welfare (early stages of a feasibiiltiy study for a capital campaign) Parks, trails and green spaces (annual campaign management, grantwriting, wealth screening) K-12 STEM
