**Classification: **Exempt

**Position type: **Full-Time Employee

**Anticipated Pay Range at Commencement of Employment **: $79,000 - 109,000 per year

**Blue Star Families**

Blue Star Families is the largest nonprofit dedicated to making military life better for families. Each year, we support over 1.5 million military- and veteran-connected family members through a national network of 300,000+ members and local chapters in communities across the country.

Our mission is simple and bold: We make military life awesome for families.

We listen, share, partner, and act to deliver evidence-based, data-driven solutions that work for real people. We’re a lifestyle organization, a friend and neighbor, and a trusted partner. Our approach is collaborative, human-centered, and designed with the whole family in mind.

A Blue Star Family is one with an immediate family member — a spouse, parent, or child — actively serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Guard and Reserves. These families face unique challenges: frequent relocations, deployments, career disruption, and isolation. We respond with research-informed programs that create connection, build resilience, and foster a true sense of belonging.

We serve with urgency but build trust over time — because change happens at the speed of trust. Whether we’re driving spouse employment, supporting caregivers, or helping communities welcome military families, we strive for upstream solutions.

**Who We’re Looking For**

- Bold thinkers. Fast movers. Smart collaborators. People who want to build, lead, and drive measurable change — and who care deeply about making an impact that matters.

**What You’ll Do Here**

- Solve complex challenges with data, heart, and humility

- Build cross-sector partnerships that get things done

- Help military families feel at home wherever they live

If you're ready to work in a high-performance, mission-driven environment — and to make life better for those who serve — Blue Star Families is where you belong.

**General Description**

The Associate Director, Development for the Tampa Chapter is responsible for assisting in local fundraising efforts, cultivating donor relationships, and supporting the development of strategic partnerships to support the chapter’s financial sustainability and growth.

The Associate Director will steward a portfolio of individual, corporate, and foundation donors and support grant writing and reporting in collaboration with the national team.

- Meet or exceed an annual fundraising goal of at least $100,000.

- Build, qualify, and actively manage a portfolio of at least 30 new major gift prospects (distinct from existing pipelines), with responsibility for identifying, cultivating, and advancing these individuals through the full donor lifecycle toward solicitation and long-term engagement

- Cultivate, solicit, and steward relationships with individual donors, corporate sponsors, and foundations.

- Collaborate with the Executive Director and national Development team to identify and pursue funding opportunities aligned with chapter programs and goals.

- Collaborate with the Executive Director on donor recognition and ensure consistent, high-quality communication with funders and supporters.

- Support the development and execution of donor engagement events and activities.

- Maintain accurate donor records and activity tracking in CRM (e.g., Salesforce).

- Assist with grant proposal writing and reporting.

- Partner with local program staff to align fundraising with community impact.

- Represent Blue Star Families at Chapter sponsored events, community events, and networking opportunities to elevate the chapter’s visibility and mission.

- Perform other duties as assigned

**Required Experience, Skills & Background**

- Minimum 5-7 years of relevant experience in fundraising for a nonprofit organization

- Demonstrated success in individual giving, corporate sponsorships, and/or grant writing.

- Strong relationship-building and communication skills.

- Self-starter with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.

- Local travel requirements required outside of your home office will be up to 40% or less depending on business needs.

- Ability to travel out of town overnight several times per year for staff offsites, planning retreats, and company-wide events. These gatherings are essential for connection, brainstorming, and staying strategically aligned across teams. Participation is required as a core part of the role.

- May be required to work nights, weekends, and holidays as necessary to carry out key job functions.

**Desired Experience, Skills & Background**

- Bachelor’s degree preferred

- A strong collaborator across GTM, People & Culture, Tech/HRIS, Service Line Operations, and Quality teams; adept at role clarity, RACI management, and influencing without direct authority.

- Trusted with highly confidential information; exercises sound judgment, discretion, and executive‑facing professionalism.

**The Ideal Candidate Will Possess:**

- 10+ years of progressive experience in performance management, HR program management, PMO/operations, or organizational effectiveness within a professional services environment; global experience preferred.

-  Partner with the People Experience team to shape and steward the U.S. partner and managing director experience, ensuring the process align with overall expectations of the partner and managing director roles.

-  Communications, Training & Canvas Content

- Translate annual PMD scorecard updates and process changes into clear enablement resources, applying judgment to determine messaging emphasis, sequencing, and level of detail needed for senior audiences.
