The Opportunity: Design Your Work, Drive Global Impact

At Gratitude Network, we believe in empowering leaders—and that includes you. As our Corporate Partnerships Director, you’ll enjoy a flexible schedule and the freedom to decide how and when you work. You’ll own the process of building strategic relationships with mission-aligned companies, helping them create lasting change for children and youth worldwide. This is more than a fundraising role, it’s an opportunity to be a catalyst for change. You’ll collaborate with our Executive Director, Board, and partners to increase our corporate revenue and expand our network of mission-aligned companies. This role is ideal for a self-starter who is both professional and personable, confident in engaging with corporate audiences, and passionate about making a global difference. Join us and leave your mark on a growing international network of impact- driven organizations.

What You’ll Do

• Lead strategic outreach to Fortune 500 and mid-size companies to secure corporate funding through cold outreach, LinkedIn, and warm networks
• Cultivate and manage relationships with prospective and current corporate
• partners
• Create and coordinate partnership deliverables and volunteer engagements with
• Gratitude internal team
• Track performance metrics and maintain CRM records (Hubspot)
• Create compelling pitch decks, proposals, and follow-up materials (Canva & PPT)
• Support leadership with research and meeting preparation
• Attend in-person meetings and conferences in the Bay Area as needed

Qualifications

• You’ve Got the Magic Touch: Maybe you’ve sold sand in the desert, rallied the PTA to snag local sponsors, or crushed that philanthropy chair role in college. (Translation: you’ve got 2–3+ years in fundraising, corporate partnerships, business development — OR you’re just naturally great at building relationships and making things happen).
• You Know How to Close a Deal: Sponsorships, partnerships, turning a “maybe” into a “yes” — you make it happen.
• You Get Nonprofits & Love Helping Companies Do Good: Bonus points if you’ve teamed up with CSR folks, nonprofit partners, or know something about B2B sales.
• You Write and Speak Like a Pro: Whether on Zoom, in emails, at a networking event, or over coffee — you connect with people. Tech tools don’t scare you (or you might even have a soft spot for a CRM like HubSpot).
• You Don't Mind the Travel. You work from home 70% of the time but can head to SF for a Rotary presentation or fly to New York for a volunteer event with enough notice.
• You Thrive Working Remotely: A self-starter, organized, resourceful, and ready to juggle multiple projects without breaking a sweat. You know when it’s best to be in-person vs a Zoom will do.

So Why Join Us? Our Untraditional Perks

Be Part of Something Big (and Small): We’re a lean, agile team scaling global impact — your work won’t just matter, it will move the needle.

Leave Your Mark: No red tape. You’ll work closely with the Executive Director to shape how we grow and see your ideas come to life.

Work With World-Changers: Partner with visionary nonprofit leaders in 120+ countries and corporate teams that genuinely want to make the world better.

Flexibility Is Built In: Work where you want, when you work best — we care about results, not Zoom hours. Our ED actually models this: she gets the job done, logs off by 4 to pick up her kids to make soccer practice, and fully shuts down her work brain until the next day.

Culture That Walks the Talk: High-performance, purpose-first, supportive of trying new things and learning as we go. We celebrate the wins, fail forward, and laugh along the way.

Front-Row Seat to Innovation: Get access to cutting-edge nonprofit leadership strategies, global perspectives, and maybe even a few VIP events.

International Travel (If You’re Up for It): With Fellows in 124 countries, opportunities pop up everywhere. Land a partnership in London? You could be on the next plane to see it in action. (Totally optional, but always an adventure!)

The Practical Perks (a.k.a. The “Boring” Benefits): While we don’t offer healthcare, we do provide a 401k plan, professional development support, and a home office stipend to set you up for success. As we grow, you'd be part of the team deciding which benefits are best for our organization!

Languages: English fluency (professional level) is a must. Extra bonus points if you also speak corporate — the kind used in tech, finance, consulting, and beyond. Any additional world languages? Even better — with Fellows in 120+ countries, they’ll always come in handy.
