Water for People
Bolivia, Great Britain, United States, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Malawai, Peru, Rwanda, Uganda
Water For People is a global nonprofit working across nine countries, bringing together communities, local entrepreneurs, and governments to build and maintain water and sanitation services that will last. We have a sustainable solution to end the global water and sanitation crisis, and our employees across the world help drive this solution.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
In this dynamic role, the Chief Growth Officer (CGO) will be not only responsible for achieving revenue targets but will also take a holistic approach to the growth of the organization, going beyond traditional fundraising. This person will hold the vision and execution for the powerful role philanthropy can play at Water For People and in the broader water and sanitation sector.
The Chief Growth Officer is responsible for:
What the goals are (and making sure the team is always focused on them).
Setting of priorities (around projects, prospects, and plans).
Strategies we will pursue. (This role may not generate all the strategy, but it needs to confirm/enrich it and provide both support and a framework for its execution).
Who will do what.
How and at what point individual and team performance will be measured
With a primary focus on delivering the growth plan aligned with our Destination 2030 vision which includes growing revenue to $75M annually, increasing awareness of the urgency of the global water crisis and Water For People’s role, and leveraging organizational priorities to drive impact, the CGO will lead in five priority growth areas: More dollars, more donors, more engagement, more awareness, and more intentionality. The CGO will be responsible for implementing and adapting Water For People’s global growth strategy.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL
Form strong partnerships with Co-CEOs, Chief Finance and Administration Officer (CFAO), Chief Impact Officer (CIO), Senior Director of Finance (SDF), and Regional Directors to develop multi-year organizational fundraising priorities, revenue targets and projections, effective engagement plans for high-level current and potential supporters and the media, and accurate and timely updates to the Board.
Work with the Donor Impact team and the Global Leadership Team (GLT) to execute the current growth plan aligned with the strategic plan tied with Destination 2030 and with the One For All Alliance; key emphasis will be on growing the number of new prospects/donors and strengthening the portfolio in the long-term into a greater number of key donors/funders.
Ensure performance, strategy, and alignment of the organization's revenue-generating activities and external relations including brand and communications.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the official party committee dedicated to electing Democrats to state legislatures. Since 2016, the DLCC and state partners have built eight new majorities and flipped seats from red to blue across the country – paving the way for progress. State legislatures pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy.
Taking back power starts at the local level. The DLCC recruits, trains, and supports local Democrats running for their state legislatures. We provide our candidates with the resources, field support, and data necessary to run smart, winning campaigns. By gaining a foothold in state legislatures, Democrats can engage supporters across the country and prepare for victories in statewide and national elections.
We’re powered by more than 200,000 supporters from all 50 states. Over 98% of our contributions come from grassroots donors (giving an average of $29), who fuel thousands of local Democratic candidates across the country.
Building up Democratic majorities in the states is more important than ever. With right-wing radicals proliferating in state legislatures across the country and key issues like reproductive choice, LGBTQ+ equality, and voting rights being decided in the states, our democracy is on the line. We’re counting on our supporters to get educated, involved, and take action in their communities.
The DLCC compensates employees competitively and provides a very generous benefits package. We believe in work-life balance and understand that every employee has unique circumstances at home. We offer employees significant amounts of time off as well as flexible work options. We’re dedicated to treating one another with respect in the workplace and prioritize racial equity and inclusion (REI) in our work with one another as well as with our stakeholders.

Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. The SVP of Community & Civic Engagement (CCE) oversees grassroots community organizing, civic engagement and democracy strategies and ensures that we create a multiplier-effect with other LCV and LCV Education Fund strategies.
Civic Engagement: Over the last twenty years, LCV Education Fund has developed one of the most effective nonpartisan voter participation programs in the nation. We pioneered tools such as membership list enhancement, and we continue to lead in areas such as mobilization, profiling and modeling, issue ID, control group testing and high-end analytics. We are externally recognized for our leadership in the space, such as the most recent Independent Voter Registration Report where LCVEF was ranked the most efficient program in the nation—with an 83 percent rate of successful registrations—for the third consecutive election cycle. Through our national vote-by-mail, voter registration and GOTV efforts, we have become the leading pro-climate group working to encourage under-represented communities to participate in elections. LCV increasingly plays a major role in pro-democracy ballot measures that reduce barriers to voting at the state and local level. Even outside the pro-climate community, we are one of the largest players in the civic engagement space, with a focus on increasing involvement of communities of color and young people in the democratic process. LCV launched a Candidate Recruitment and Training Program, with the ambitious goal of transforming who is a part of our government and making our boards, commissions and elected offices more reflective of the racial and ethnic diversity of our country. We are working to ensure that the people who have been systemically locked out of these roles have the tools and knowledge they need to effectively represent our communities and stand up for all of us.
Community Organizing: Over the last eight years, LCV and LCVEF have expanded our focus on grassroots community organizing, particularly with communities of color who are disproportionately impacted by environmental racism and climate change and excluded by decision makers. Our Chispa program operates in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Nevada and Texas to grow grassroots leadership from low-income Latinx families. Chispa’s Clean Buses for Healthy Niños campaign has pressured local, state and federal decision makers to switch their dirty diesel school buses to electric buses that protect children’s health and improve air quality. Other organizing programs across the Conservation Voter Movement work with Black, indigenous, rural and other communities to ensure that those who are most impacted have the collective voice and power to influence change.
This position requires an intensely creative and strategic thinker who can draw on years of organizing, issue campaign and civic engagement experience and who is focused on building a grassroots base that can urge decision-makers to take unprecedented bold action to expand our democracy and confront climate change. As an Executive Team member, the SVP of Community & Civic Engagement (CCE) contributes to the successful operation of the entire organization. The SVP of CCE is responsible for developing and maintaining a departmental culture that is inclusive, agile, collaborative, modern, transparent, and supportive of staff and partners.
