About CSG

Charity Search Group is a national executive search firm serving nonprofits and higher education institutions exclusively. We partner with mission-driven organizations to recruit fundraising leaders, development professionals, and senior executives-roles where trust, judgment, and long-term fit are essential.

CSG is known for its relationship-centered, equity-informed approach to executive recruitment. Our work supports organizations across the U.S. and Canada, helping boards and leadership teams reduce hiring risk, strengthen organizational capacity, and build leadership aligned with mission and values.

The Role

The Director of Business Development is responsible for generating and growing new client relationships for Charity Search Group through a combination of trusted relationships, modern outbound outreach, and consultative engagement.

This is a part-time, senior-level role well suited for someone with deep nonprofit fluency who understands how nonprofit leaders make decisions and values credibility, discretion, and relationship-building over volume-driven sales.
