We’re hiring OpenFn’s first Director of Fundraising to lead our organization’s fundraising efforts with major donors, foundations, and mission-aligned funders who invest in Digital Public Goods, Digital Public Infrastructure, and social-impact technology. We will always act in the public interest, never for private profit. We want investment which is aligned as such.
To date, OpenFn’s growth has come from delivering complex digital transformation and implementation projects, and from fundraising efforts our CEO has largely driven himself. As we invest more deliberately in philanthropic and institutional funding to complement our subscription revenue, we’re looking for an experienced fundraiser to build this function from the ground up: developing a fundraising strategy, cultivating and stewarding relationships with foundations and major donors, and helping OpenFn secure the multi-year support it needs to keep expanding access to public service automation.
You already have a network of relationships with foundations, funders, and philanthropists active in international development, Digital Public Goods, and technology for social good, and you know how to translate a mission into a compelling case for support. You’re comfortable being both the strategist and the one making the ask: this is a foundational hire, so you’ll build the playbook as you go rather than inherit one.
