&#13;
Reporting to the Founder &amp; General Director, the Chief Development Officer will develop and implement a comprehensive development program to identify individuals, foundations, and organizations at all giving levels, focusing on those with the potential to make transformative gifts to the organization and ensuring that patrons are systematically engaged through all phases of the fundraising cycle, from donor qualification to effective solicitation and stewardship.&#13;
&#13;
Gulfshore Opera (GO) was founded in 2014 by General Director Steffanie Pearce, a producer, director, performer, and teacher with more than 40 years of experience in opera and an international performance career. Now a growing Level Three company under OPERA America guidelines—and the only touring opera company in Florida—GO enriches Southwest Florida with accessible, high-quality, and diverse vocal performances featuring classically trained artists.&#13;
&#13;
A bachelor's degree and at least five years of experience in nonprofit, performing arts fundraising, including three years of leadership experience, is preferred for this position. If you are excited about this role and feel that you can contribute to GO, but your experience does not exactly align with every qualification listed above, we encourage you to apply.&#13;
&#13;
The salary range for this position is $86,000 to $100,000 annually and will be based on experience and qualifications. Very well-qualified candidates may anticipate a salary in the $95,000 to $100,000 range.&#13;
&#13;
Gulfshore Opera is committed to the inclusion of all qualified candidates. If you require reasonable accommodation in completing this application, interviewing, or participating in the selection process, please contact Tonya Malik-Carson at tonyamc@aspenleadershipgroup.com.&#13;

As our Development Officer (Events &amp; Membership), you’ll help nurture the community of passionate supporters who keep the OAE’s music, education work and pioneering school residency thriving. From dreaming up engaging supporter events to crafting thoughtful communications and keeping our Friends programme running smoothly, you’ll be right at the heart of the orchestra’s story.&#13;
&#13;
This is a hands‑on role in a small, energetic team where no two days look the same. One moment you might be greeting donors at a Southbank Centre concert; the next, organising a Friends’ open rehearsal in the School's iconic assembly hall or shaping content for our supporters’ magazine. If you’re a confident communicator with an eye for detail, a love of the arts and a desire to work somewhere genuinely distinctive, this is a rare chance to make a real impact in a friendly, mission‑driven organisation.&#13;
&#13;
This role is primarily office based with some opportunity to work from home.</description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:03:49 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.musicalchairs.info/de/admin-jobs/53429?ref=57</link><guid>https://www.musicalchairs.info/de/admin-jobs/53429?ref=57</guid></item><item><title>Senior Director of Integrated Marketing Campaigns for Subscriptions</title><description/><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 22:06:14 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.pacificsymphony.org/employment</link><guid>https://www.pacificsymphony.org/employment</guid></item><item><title>Manager, Prospect Research and Development</title><description/><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 22:02:36 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/DD7A2079993A11C7CE0063E11AD83F8F/jobs/321713</link><guid>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/DD7A2079993A11C7CE0063E11AD83F8F/jobs/321713</guid></item><item><title>Special Events and League Liaison Officer</title><description/><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 21:56:22 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/5DF197CB483F38559B6F80A2C5C8B953/jobs/325951</link><guid>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/5DF197CB483F38559B6F80A2C5C8B953/jobs/325951</guid></item><item><title>Deputy Director of Development</title><description/><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:58:06 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/DD7A2079993A11C7CE0063E11AD83F8F/jobs/259035</link><guid>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/DD7A2079993A11C7CE0063E11AD83F8F/jobs/259035</guid></item><item><title>Major Gift Officer</title><description/><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:56:29 +0000</pubDate><link>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/DD7A2079993A11C7CE0063E11AD83F8F/jobs/367604</link><guid>https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/portal/DD7A2079993A11C7CE0063E11AD83F8F/jobs/367604</guid></item><item><title>Coordinator, Philanthropic Engagement</title><description/><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:53:17 +0000</pubDate><link>https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/laphil/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/166</link><guid>https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/laphil/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/166</guid></item><item><title>Development Manager</title><description/><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:45:34 +0000</pubDate><link>https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=8ec4c010-d090-4d35-86e0-ea0a607bba1b&amp;ccId=9200537635753_2&amp;lang=en_US&amp;jobId=606110</link><guid>https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=8ec4c010-d090-4d35-86e0-ea0a607bba1b&amp;ccId=9200537635753_2&amp;lang=en_US&amp;jobId=606110</guid></item><item><title>Assistant Manager of Development Events</title><description/><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:41:26 +0000</pubDate><link>https://bso.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/BSO/job/Boston/Assistant-Manager-of-Development-Events_JR401?timeType=076a31e20ba501d8e247be3412246000</link><guid>https://bso.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/BSO/job/Boston/Assistant-Manager-of-Development-Events_JR401?timeType=076a31e20ba501d8e247be3412246000</guid></item><item><title>Manager, Planned Giving</title><description/><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:38:15 +0000</pubDate><link>https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=c579b07f-1256-4615-abd1-efdf736a92e1&amp;ccId=19000101_000001&amp;lang=en_US&amp;selectedMenuKey=CurrentOpenings&amp;jobId=933268</link><guid>https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=c579b07f-1256-4615-abd1-efdf736a92e1&amp;ccId=19000101_000001&amp;lang=en_US&amp;selectedMenuKey=CurrentOpenings&amp;jobId=933268</guid></item><item><title>Assistant Director, Major Gifts</title><description/><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:37:38 +0000</pubDate><link>https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=c579b07f-1256-4615-abd1-efdf736a92e1&amp;ccId=19000101_000001&amp;lang=en_US&amp;jobId=933265</link><guid>https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=c579b07f-1256-4615-abd1-efdf736a92e1&amp;ccId=19000101_000001&amp;lang=en_US&amp;jobId=933265</guid></item><item><title>Chief Advancement Officer</title><description>Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Brevard Music Center in the search for a Chief Advancement Officer.&#13;
