ADVANCEMENT MANAGER

ABOUT PACIFIC COUNCIL

As a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization, the Pacific Council engages members and the community through programs that connect local experience to global affairs, including renowned speaker events, conferences, international and national delegations, leadership development, and community volunteer efforts.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Pacific Council on International Policy is seeking a highly organized, strategic, and detail-oriented Advancement Manager (AM) to support the execution of the Council’s fundraising, sustaining membership, and organizational priorities. Working closely with the President & CEO and senior leadership, the successful candidate will serve as a key advancement partner, helping ensure the CEO is prepared, informed, and supported in cultivating donors, members, institutional partners, and other key stakeholders.

The AM will manage critical advancement functions including corporate, foundation, and individual prospect research; donor strategy and stewardship; executive briefing preparation; sustaining member billing; CRM management; and development operations. The role will also help translate executive priorities and conversations into clear next steps, coordinate follow-through across internal and external stakeholders, and ensure high-priority relationships and initiatives continue moving forward.

While primarily a non-frontline fundraising role, the AM should bring a strong understanding of fundraising strategy, donor cultivation, stewardship, and the development cycle, along with the judgment, initiative, and organizational skills necessary to anticipate needs and serve as a trusted partner to the President & CEO and senior leadership.

This is a hybrid position including in-person team meetings and events.

  • Track fundraising activity, commitments, proposals, and next steps to ensure opportunities move effectively through the development pipeline.
  • Coordinate across programs, membership, communications, and leadership to ensure fundraising efforts reflect the Council’s broader strategic priorities.

  • Manage the full grant lifecycle, from identifying and evaluating funding opportunities through proposal development, submission, reporting, renewal, and stewardship.
  • Collaborate with programs, operations, and senior leadership to gather programmatic data, budgets, outcomes, and impact stories that strengthen grant applications and demonstrate organizational impact.
  • Maintain a comprehensive grants calendar and pipeline, tracking deadlines, reporting requirements, awards, renewals, and funder communications to ensure timely and accurate follow-through.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Demonstrated understanding of the fundraising lifecycle, including prospect identification, cultivation, solicitation, stewardship, and moves management.

  • Experience supporting a CEO, Executive Director, development leader, or other senior executive in managing high-level donor, board, funder, or external stakeholder relationships.
  • Ability to serve as a proactive partner to senior leadership, anticipating needs, identifying gaps, and translating conversations and decisions into action.
  • Exceptional research and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize complex information into concise executive briefings, prospect profiles, proposals, and other advancement materials.
