About the Role

This is a building role designed to establish Robin Hood's presence in the tech community and meet the moment of inflection in American philanthropy. You will establish a portfolio of tech-sector donors, acting as the bridge between Robin Hood's Advancement team and its Program & Impact teams to design engagement that puts donor expertise and networks to work alongside capital.

Responsibilities

Identify, engage, and manage a portfolio of tech-sector donors and prospects, serving as the primary relationship manager from first outreach through long-term partnership.
Develop customized short-, intermediate-, and long-term engagement strategies for each donor and prospect, grounded in both quantitative and qualitative data.
Design and execute a cohort-level engagement strategy so that the sector gets a coherent approach, with low-friction and peer driven ways to engage and give.

Organize and facilitate in-person meetings and convenings involving senior Robin Hood leadership and board members.
Source and qualify new prospects across the tech ecosystem, including referrals, events, board introductions, and listening tour insights.
Stay current on Robin Hood's programs, priorities, and funding needs, particularly where they matter most to tech donors: workforce development, economic mobility, and AI for social good.
Develop impact narratives, proposals, and partnership materials that hold up with analytically minded, data-driven donors.
Serve as the primary liaison between Advancement and Robin Hood's Program & Impact teams to develop engagement opportunities for tech-sector donors, such as mentorship, pro-bono partnerships, site visits, co-designed convenings, and expert-in-residence models.
Co-lead or support execution of tech-focused events and programming.
Work across teams – including with the Managing Director, AI – to develop bespoke partnership models for tech donors who want engagement that goes beyond a traditional philanthropic relationship.
Represent Robin Hood at tech sector conferences, convenings, and industry events, showing up as an informed and credible presence in the spaces where prospective donors and partners are active.
Contribute to Robin Hood's AI for Impact strategy by staying current on tech sector trends and translating what you learn into donor engagement opportunities.
Advise on the infrastructure that enables tech-sector giving, including crypto and pre-IPO stock acceptance.
Maintain accurate and timely records of all donor interactions in Salesforce, including regular updates to pipeline tracking, relationship stages, and moves management, so data stays clean and visible across teams.
Monitor and report on portfolio metrics and progress against goals, adjusting strategy as the picture changes.
Conduct mid-year and annual pipeline reviews, identifying opportunities for growth and course corrections.
Report on portfolio performance and tech sector engagement strategy to internal stakeholders, including your contributions to the broader AI for Impact workstream.
