Job Description

Position Title: Regional Director - Buffalo, NY

Position Focus:   Fundraising

Position Details:

There aren’t many places like Pink Ribbon Good (PRG). Here you’ll put more good into the world and get paid for it! Our team has the exciting energy of a start-up doing big things, we’ve grown over 400% in the last five years, along with a true sense of community that stems from hopping in the trenches with one another so that we can walk alongside our clients on their cancer journeys. Being a PRGer isn’t for everyone. Being surrounded by cancer every day changes you. But we’d argue for the better. At PRG we are constantly reminded of just how precious every day is so we love big, appreciate the little things and show up for one another. 

PRG is hiring a driven professional to work as our Regional Director and pursue the fundraising and strategic goals of our Buffalo, New York region. This individual will be responsible for cultivating relationships with existing donors, attracting new donors and securing funding so that PRG can continue to serve even more people with breast and gynecological cancer.

• In conjunction with the programming team, meet with physicians, case workers and other health care professionals who utilize PRG in the Buffalo area to make sure the execution of PRG programming is understood and streamlined.
• Execute the strategic plan for the Buffalo region to ultimately raise the funds necessary to provide services to all breast and gynecological cancer clients and their families.
• Collaborate with leadership, team members and external volunteers and constituents on different fundraising initiatives including Ignite the Fight Gala and other PRG specific fundraising initiatives.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• Proven success record in sales or fundraising to meet or exceed revenue targets.

• Excellent and persuasive communicator (verbal and written) with the ability to effectively engage with donors, volunteers, clients, service partners and colleagues.
• Demonstrated ability to plan, set and realize goals.
• Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to readily multi-task and pivot as needed.
• Proactive and results-driven team player with the ability to thrive in a fast paced, working environment, where collaboration and individual contributions are a key to success—especially for those who have an entrepreneurial spirit.
• Experience with Raiser’s Edge or other development tools is a plus.
