Full Job Description

The Opportunity

Westmark School—a nationally recognized leader in educating students with language-based learning differences—seeks an entrepreneurial, relationship-driven leader to serve as its Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships. This is a pivotal new role designed to expand Westmark’s philanthropic reach, deepen engagement with mission-aligned external partners, and strengthen the School’s long-term sustainability.

A central responsibility of the Director is to strategically support the Head of School and the Board of Trustees in all aspects of major gifts fundraising. The Director will cultivate and steward relationships with Westmark’s closest constituents—including current parents, grandparents, alumni families, and former trustees—who have the capacity to make leadership gifts of $100,000 and above.

The Director will ensure that the Westmark Fund and Spring Gala meet operating budget goals and that teams of volunteers are actively engaged in the execution of these annual fundraising initiatives.

At the same time, the Director will broaden Westmark’s visibility and impact by identifying and securing new sources of external support, including:

Individual philanthropists beyond the immediate School community
Corporate partnerships
Foundation relationships
Mission-aligned organizations in education, neurodiversity, technology, and workforce development

The Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships reports directly to the Head of School and serves as a key member of the senior leadership team.

What We’re Looking For in a Successful Candidate

Westmark seeks a candidate who is both a strategic thinker and a hands-on relationship builder—someone energized by the opportunity to shape and expand the School’s philanthropic reach.

The ideal candidate will bring a blend of major gifts expertise, partnership development experience, and leadership presence required to work closely with the Head of School, Board of Trustees, and senior administrators.

A successful candidate will demonstrate:

A proven track record of cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding six- and seven-figure gifts.
Sophisticated judgment in donor strategy, including the ability to design individualized cultivation pathways and prepare senior leaders for high-level donor conversations.
Comfort engaging with high-capacity families, alumni parents, former trustees, and community leaders.
The ability to translate institutional priorities—especially the 2026–2029 strategic plan—into a clear, actionable roadmap for philanthropy and partnerships.
A growth mindset and entrepreneurial approach to identifying new funding opportunities, building pipelines, and expanding Westmark’s visibility beyond its immediate community.
A willingness to innovate, test new approaches, and build systems that strengthen long-term sustainability.
Exceptional interpersonal skills and the ability to inspire trust, credibility, and enthusiasm among donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and colleagues.
Experience staffing senior leaders and trustees, including preparing briefings, proposals, and strategy memos.
A collaborative spirit and the ability to work seamlessly across departments: admissions, marketing and communications, programming, and the Head of School office.
Demonstrated success recruiting, training, motivating, and recognizing volunteer leaders.
The ability to staff and manage committees for the Westmark Fund, ensuring volunteers feel supported, informed, and empowered.
Skill in creating clear roles, timelines, and tools that enable effective peer-to-peer outreach.
Experience developing multi-layered corporate relationships that may include philanthropy, sponsorships, employee engagement, or workforce-readiness initiatives.
Strong grant-writing skills, including the ability to craft compelling narratives, manage deadlines, and steward institutional funders.
An understanding of trends in DEI and corporate philanthropy—particularly as they relate to neurodiversity, education, and talent development.
Strong organizational and project-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work on tight timelines.
Comfort with prospect management systems, dashboards, and data analysis to inform strategy and track progress.
A commitment to best practices in donor stewardship, compliance, and ethical fundraising.
A deep appreciation for Westmark School’s mission, vision, and the strengths of neurodiverse learners.
The ability to communicate the School’s impact with authenticity, clarity, and emotional intelligence.
Cultural humility and the ability to engage respectfully with families, students, and partners from diverse backgrounds.
