What We Can Achieve Together:

Alaska represents one of the most important places on Earth for conservation. The state contains half of the nation's stored terrestrial carbon, 95% of its remaining intact lands and waters, and plays a central role in achieving TNC's global 2030 climate and biodiversity goals. Conservation success in Alaska is globally consequential and depends on deep partnerships with Indigenous Peoples, strong public policy engagement, and a philanthropic model that relies heavily on donors based outside the state.

The Director of Development will play a pivotal role in securing the private resources required to advance this work at scale, stewarding and expanding a national donor base and ensuring Alaska's conservation priorities are positioned as a global philanthropic imperative.

The Director of Development, Alaska (DOD) provides strategic and hands-on leadership for all philanthropic activities supporting TNC's Alaska conservation program. Reporting to the Alaska State Director and serving as a core member of the Alaska Leadership Team, the DOD partners closely with senior conservation leaders, the Alaska Board of Trustees, the Alaska Affinity Group, and TNC's regional, divisional, and global development network.

The Alaska Chapter operates with an annual budget of approximately $6 million, largely funded through private philanthropy. The Director of Development is accountable for directing all aspects of the fundraising program that secures these resources, including developing and managing comprehensive fundraising strategies and plans aligned with Alaska's strategic priorities and TNC's global goals. The DOD focuses on long-range priorities, communicates a clear and compelling fundraising vision, and ensures that development efforts are collaborative, well-integrated, and effectively coordinated across the organization.

The DOD leads a development team that is in a defined growth phase. The current team includes two out-the-door fundraisers across the country, alongside access to internal philanthropy consultants, philanthropy operations, donor relations, and communications capacity. The Director of Development is responsible for recruiting, developing, and retaining high-performing development staff, establishing clear performance expectations and measures of success, and nurturing effective collaboration across a geographically dispersed team. This role requires both personal fundraising excellence and the ability to guide complex work, develop and refine processes, anticipate outcomes, and adaptively lead the organization through a period of scale-up and increased ambition.

• Personally manage and solicit a portfolio of high-capacity major and principal gift donors, with demonstrated success closing six- and seven-figure gifts.
• Partner closely with regional, divisional, and global development teams to access and steward donors managed across TNC, recognizing that the majority of Alaska's revenue originates outside the state.
• Align fundraising efforts with campaign priorities, including Alaska's participation in the One Future Campaign and longer-term endowment growth.
