Director of Partnership Engagement Ready to deepen the partnerships that make our Scholars’ futures possible? We’re seeking a Director of Partnership Engagement to own the stewardship, retention, and growth of Greenwood Project’s partner portfolio. This role reports to the CEO and is designed for experienced relationship managers with a track record in account management, customer success, donor retention, or major gifts stewardship, whether that track record comes from the nonprofit, corporate, or financial services world.

You’ll take the relationships our business development team secures and turn them into deep, multi-year partnerships built on trust, consistent engagement, and shared investment in our mission. This is an opportunity to build deep, lasting relationships with the partners who make Greenwood Project’s work possible, designing cultivation strategies tailored to each partner’s goals, creating consistent touchpoints that keep them engaged, and finding the right moments to invite deeper investment in our mission.
