Join Team TPH as Our Head of Partnerships & Fundraising
Build Partnerships. Fuel Opportunity. Change Lives Through Sport.
At TPH, we believe sports are more than a game — they are a platform for developing confident leaders, resilient teammates, and impact players for life. Since 2001, TPH has been leading the way in the holistic development of student-athletes, helping them advance both in and beyond the game.
Now, we’re looking for a relationship-driven, visionary leader to join our National Team as our next Head of Partnerships & Fundraising — someone who can connect purpose with partnership and turn big ideas into meaningful impact. If you thrive on building relationships, creating strategic partnerships, leading fundraising initiatives, and making a difference in the lives of student-athletes, this may be your next great opportunity.
