Role Overview:

Join the team that is leading the Martha’s Vineyard Museum (MVM) into its second century. We know that a museum is much more than a collection of buildings, art and historic artifacts, and we have made great strides towards becoming an organization that fully represents the entire Island population. The Development Manager will be a major contributor to MVM’s success in raising and stewarding the funding that fuels its work and impact across its mission. 

The Development Manager will report into the Managing Director, support the Executive Director, and collaborate with the Marketing and Communications Manager and the Events Manager. The Development Manager’s primary responsibility will be donor stewardship, through keeping excellent records, leading systems to ensure strong and consistent donor communication, executing the operations of donor engagement events, and writing donor reports. MVM is seeking candidates who are exceptionally detail-oriented and organized, understand that great donor relationships require strong data and information tracking, enjoy collaborating with a team to achieve objectives, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. 

Reports to: Managing Director

Supervisory Responsibilities: May supervise Fellows, volunteers, staff, or contractors/vendors for development activities.

Schedule: Monday – Friday salaried position, typically 40 – 44 hours per week with some evening and weekend hours required for events and programs. A hybrid work arrangement may be possible for this role. Candidates seeking full- or part-time work are encouraged to apply. Entry level candidates will be considered for a Development Associate role.
