Chief Development Officer

Ulman Foundation is a non-profit organization that changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer. We offer support to adolescent and young adult patients, survivors and their loved ones through our patient navigation programs, our traditional and non-traditional support groups, and through Ulman House (“the House”), our no-cost home away from home for those traveling to Baltimore for treatment.

At Ulman, we believe the community of support that we create for our patients begins with creating a community of support amongst our team. We strive to maintain an environment where we can all bring our best, most authentic, and whole selves to work, where we feel seen, heard, respected and valued, and where we have the tools, resources and support we need to be successful in our work and in our lives.

Cancer affects us all. The Ulman Foundation supports and recognizes each individual as a whole. No matter where you’re from, what you believe, who you love, or how you identify, you are welcomed, respected and supported within the Ulman Community.

As the Ulman Foundation Chief Development Officer (CDO) you will be responsible for working with the CEO, COO, Sr. Director of Development, Sr. Director of Events & Experiences and members of the Ulman Foundation Board of Directors to evolve and lead the execution of the organization’s revenue generation strategies, including corporate engagement, major gifts, foundations and grants, campaigns, events, and peer-to-peer fundraising. In this role you will have both leadership responsibilities, management responsibilities, and individual contribution goals.

As the CDO, you will be a second “face of the organization” alongside the CEO, and will represent the organization at events and in the community. You will also serve as a member of the organization’s leadership team, and be a key partner to our Marketing and Service & Care Delivery teams. You will also be personally responsible for creating and executing strategies that engage corporate partners, both large and small, in our community and in supporting our mission. You will identify and manage a portfolio of prospects, relationships, and partnerships focused on involving business leaders and employees in volunteering, fundraising, event attendance and sponsorship, and philanthropy.
