Project 8p Foundation is a nonprofit biotech organization established in late 2018 to research a category of chromosomal disorders affecting the 8th chromosome. 8p disorders are extremely rare, the impact is dramatically negative, and there is no cure or standard course of treatment.
Project 8p is patient-led and takes a collaborative open science approach to research, with a commitment to develop research threads that can be used to develop treatments for 8p disorders and for other complex neurological chromosome diseases.
We seek a creative fundraising Executive Director with at least 10 years of work experience to advance medical and science-based initiatives to target, qualify, engage and, with the Board Chair, directly solicit individual, institutional donors and venture philanthropy solutions. In the process, the Executive Director will collaborate with the CEO to engage new Board members and to develop a range of funding and research partnerships.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this position will have both internal and external facing responsibilities. Success will be primarily measured by the ability to grow the fundraising program.
In addition to the onboarding materials provided you will be expected to take personal initiative to understand chromosome 8p disorders at a layperson’s level, as well as the current strategic and operating plan of the organization. You will be responsible for reaching the Fundraising target of $3.0 M in the first 12 months.
