Brentwood, TN · Full-time · Must reside in Middle Tennessee
For twenty-two years, Jovenes en Camino has given a home, an education, healthcare, and a family to orphaned and at-risk boys in Honduras. About 300 boys have come through our campus in El Zamorano. We also run a rural primary care clinic serving the surrounding community and a transition program in Tegucigalpa for young men entering adult life.
We’re hiring an Executive Director to lead our U.S. organization — and this is a rebuild-and-grow role, not a caretaker role. The programs are strong; the fundraising engine behind them isn’t yet built to match. We need a fundraiser first: someone who is energized by asking people to invest in children, who can personally close five- and six-figure gifts, and who has the discipline to build the donor systems that make growth last.
You would report to a U.S. board where every member gives and opens doors, partner with an exceptional country director in Honduras, and travel there two to five times a year.
Job Responsibilities A.



Fundraising and revenue growth — approximately 40% of time (The single most important function of this role.)
B. Donor engagement, communications, and brand — approximately 25% of time C. Program liaison and international oversight — approximately 20% of time D.

Genuine alignment with JEC’s Christian mission and comfort representing it authentically to churches, donors, and partners.
Successful completion of background screening and child-safeguarding certification.
Strong cultural competence, with a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives and an ability to lead initiatives with diverse, integral teams
Five or more years of nonprofit leadership experience and success personally soliciting and closing gifts of $25,000 and above
