About A Better Gift A Better Gift is an emerging platform designed to change how people help friends, family, and their communities with everyday bills and financial needs. Instead of relying solely on traditional fundraising or gift cards, people can privately request help from their personal networks, who can contribute directly through a secure payment link. Our platform is built and operational. We are now focused on growing adoption, increasing completed contributions, developing organizational partnerships, and establishing repeatable growth strategies. We are looking for someone who wants to help build a business-not simply fill a position. The Opportunity As Head of Growth & Business Development, you will work directly with the founder to develop and execute the company's growth strategy. You will have meaningful independence, direct access to the decision-maker, and the opportunity to help shape the company's future. This is a hands-on role for someone who can think strategically and execute personally. You should be comfortable identifying opportunities, testing ideas, conducting outreach, building partnerships, analyzing results, and changing direction when something is not working. We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience with crowdfunding and understand how to turn interest and registrations into actual participation and completed contributions. Responsibilities * Develop and execute a practical growth strategy for A Better Gift. * Identify, approach, and acquire nonprofit organizations, schools, community groups, and other potential organizational customers. * Increase the number of active fundraising requests and the contributions those requests generate. * Improve the process by which requesters reach out to friends, family, and other potential contributors. * Identify barriers that prevent requests from generating contributions and test ways to improve conversion. * Develop partnerships, referral opportunities, and creative customer-acquisition channels. * Encourage repeat participation and sustainable user growth. * Track meaningful performance metrics, evaluate results, and adjust strategies accordingly. * Take initiatives from concept through implementation without requiring constant supervision. * Provide clear, regular reports on progress, results, and next steps. What We Are Looking For *Required qualifications* * Demonstrated experience with crowdfunding, fundraising platforms, or closely related fundraising business models. * A record of producing measurable growth, customer acquisition, partnership development, or revenue results. * Strong business judgment and the ability to translate strategy into practical action. * Excellent communication, outreach, and relationship-building skills. * Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and take responsibility for results. * Comfort working in an early-stage business where processes are still being developed. *The ideal candidate* You may have progressed through middle management or business development into increasing responsibility, or you may have built a strong track record without traditional corporate titles. We value demonstrated ability over impressive titles. The right person can see the bigger picture while still being willing to make calls, contact prospects, test campaigns, analyze data, and personally execute the work. Experience with nonprofit organizations, community fundraising, strategic partnerships, referral marketing, or early-stage companies is valuable. Compensation and Growth Opportunity * Base pay of $1,000 per week, equivalent to $52,000 annualized. * Additional performance-based compensation tied to defined business results. * A proposed profit-sharing opportunity based on 15% of eligible company profits, subject to a written compensation agreement defining eligibility, the profit calculation, and payment terms. * Opportunity to take on greater responsibility as the company grows. Additional compensation is intended to reward measurable results rather than activity alone. The goal is to build a compensation structure in which successful growth creates meaningful upside for both the company and the person driving that growth. Profit sharing is not guaranteed income and depends on the company's financial performance and the terms of the final written agreement. The First 90 Days Your initial priorities will be to understand the business model, identify the biggest barriers to growth, and begin testing solutions immediately. *First 30 days:* Understand the platform and its economics, evaluate existing user and contribution activity, identify growth opportunities, and begin outreach and initial experiments. *Days 31-60:* Demonstrate progress in organizational outreach, active fundraising campaigns, completed contributions, and the effectiveness of acquisition efforts. *Days 61-90:* Establish which approaches produce measurable results, improve promising methods, and present a practical plan for sustainable growth. Progress will be evaluated using meaningful business outcomes, initiative, execution, and the ability to learn and adapt. We recognize that early-stage growth involves experimentation, so we will evaluate both results and the quality of the candidate's decisions and execution. Work Arrangement * Remote position; applicants may be located anywhere in the United States. * Full-time professional commitment with a flexible schedule. * Direct collaboration with the founder. * Independent execution with regular progress reviews. This is not intended to be a side project or occasional consulting engagement. We are seeking someone prepared to make the role a primary professional commitment and take ownership of the growth function. How to Apply Please include a resume and a brief explanation of your relevant crowdfunding or fundraising experience. In your application, describe one specific example of growth you personally helped achieve. Explain the starting situation, the actions you took, the time involved, and the measurable results. We are especially interested in candidates who can explain how they would approach increasing completed contributions on a platform where requesters invite contributors directly. *A Better Gift is an opportunity for someone who wants to help build a business, produce measurable results, and share in the rewards of long-term success.* Pay: $52,000.00 - $60,000.00 per year Application Question(s): * Have you personally grown a crowdfunding, fundraising, or similar platform or business? Describe your experience and the measurable results you achieved. * Describe one growth initiative you personally executed. What was the starting situation, what actions did you take, how long did it take, and what measurable results did you achieve? * This is a full-time, hands-on growth role. You will be expected to develop strategy and personally execute outreach, partnerships, and growth experiments. Are you willing to take responsibility for both planning and execution?
