Career Opportunities

Manager, Donor Stewardship & Engagement

This is a role for someone who knows that fundraising isn’t just about dollars — it’s about relationships. You understand the importance of thanking someone the right way, not just quickly. You’ve built strategies around donor journeys, yes, but you’ve also picked up the phone to make a personal call, written notes that make people feel seen, and brought fresh ideas to the table that turn recognition into real connection.

In this role, you’ll work closely with the Director of Development and the Chief Development Officer who bring a collaborative and mission-driven approach to leadership. You will lead the development and execution of stewardship strategies that reflect CKUA’s values.
