What We're Looking For:

• 5–8+ years of experience in fundraising, sales, business development, or event-driven roles
• Strong ability to connect with young professionals, students, and community leaders

• Proven track record of hitting or exceeding revenue or engagement goals
• High energy, outgoing personality, and strong networking skills

• Relationship building and community engagement
• Public speaking and group facilitation
• Event planning and execution
