Campaign Fundraising Director – (1099)

Campaign Fundraising Director – Visionaries & Student Visionaries of the Year (1099)

About This Opportunity:

Ark Resource Group is partnering with a leading national nonprofit organization to identify a Campaign Fundraising Director to lead the Visionaries of the Year & Student Visionaries of the Year campaigns across South Florida.

This is not a traditional fundraising role.

This is a high-energy, relationship-driven campaign where you will work directly with emerging leaders, young professionals, and student candidates to help them compete in a fast-paced fundraising competition—building teams, securing sponsorships, and driving mission impact.

If you thrive in a competitive, social, and community-driven environment, this role puts you at the center of it.

What You’ll Be Driving:

Campaign Leadership

• Lead the execution of Visionaries & Student Visionaries fundraising campaigns
  
• Guide candidates (young professionals & students) through structured fundraising competitions
  
• Drive revenue growth through team-based and peer-to-peer fundraising efforts
  

Relationship & Network Development

• Build partnerships with local businesses, sponsors, schools, and community leaders
  
• Recruit high-potential campaign candidates and team participants
  
• Expand campaign visibility across Miami-Dade and Broward markets
  

Coaching & Mentorship

• Coach candidates on fundraising strategies, outreach, and storytelling
  
• Support participants in building their own fundraising teams and networks
  
• Provide ongoing guidance to maximize engagement and results
  

Event & Community Engagement

• Coordinate campaign events, kickoff meetings, and recognition celebrations
  
• Represent the organization at networking events and community functions
  
• Create a strong, visible presence in the local market
  

Strategy & Execution

• Develop and manage campaign timelines, goals, and performance tracking
  
• Ensure campaigns exceed fundraising targets through active engagement and follow-up
  
• Collaborate with internal teams to align messaging and mission delivery
  

What We’re Looking For:

• 5–8+ years of experience in fundraising, sales, business development, or event-driven roles
  
• Strong ability to connect with young professionals, students, and community leaders
  
• Experience in competitive fundraising, sponsorship sales, or event-based campaigns (highly preferred)
  
• Proven track record of hitting or exceeding revenue or engagement goals
  
• High energy, outgoing personality, and strong networking skills
  
• Ability to coach, motivate, and lead others toward performance goals
  
• Self-driven and comfortable working in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment
  

Requirements

Required Skills:

• Peer-to-peer fundraising or sales-driven campaign experience
  
• Relationship building and community engagement
  
• Public speaking and group facilitation
  
• Event planning and execution
  
• Sponsorship development and partnership management
  
• Coaching, mentoring, and team leadership
  
• Time management and multi-campaign coordination
  
• Performance tracking and goal management
  

Work Environment & Expectations:

• Hybrid role with frequent local travel and in-person engagement
  
• Evening and weekend availability required during campaign cycles
  
• High interaction with candidates, volunteers, and community stakeholders
  

Compensation:

• 1099 Contract
  
• Performance-driven compensation structure (base + incentives may be available depending on experience)
  
• Strong upside based on campaign success and partnerships secured
  

Why This Role Is Different:

• Work directly with future leaders and influencers in the community
  
• Be part of a competitive, high-visibility fundraising campaign
  
• Build meaningful connections across business, education, and nonprofit sectors
  
• Opportunity to grow campaigns in one of the most dynamic markets in the U.S.
