For 100 years, the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas (UWMD) has brought together the community to create access and opportunity for all to thrive. It believes in the power of unity and mobilizing change-seekers to ensure all North Texans have access to education, income and health—the building blocks of opportunity. As UWMD celebrates their centennial, it enters a time of growth and transformation. President & CEO of United Way Jennifer Hilton Sampson seeks a visionary and experienced professional to serve as the Vice President, Corporate Campaign Development.
Reporting to the President & CEO, the Vice President will lead and manage the Corporate Account Executive (CAE) team, stewarding a robust portfolio of corporate partnerships and workplace giving campaigns. This role is responsible for growing philanthropic revenue by cultivating new and existing corporate relationships, aligning donor strategies with UWMD’s community impact goals. Key responsibilities include campaign planning, strategic prospecting, data-driven decision-making, and KPI accountability. The Vice President will collaborate closely with peers across major gifts, volunteer engagement, marketing, and community impact to deliver a cohesive, high-impact donor experience.
This is a highly visible leadership role with significant opportunity to influence how the corporate sector engages with one of the most trusted and effective nonprofit brands in North Texas. In FY24, nearly 40% of UWMD’s revenue came from corporate support, and more than 17,000 hours of employee volunteer time were donated by partners—highlighting the scale and momentum of this work. The Vice President will help guide that momentum, ensuring corporate giving not only grows, but deepens its alignment with UWMD’s mission to create lasting change.
Strong candidates will bring at least five years of experience in nonprofit fundraising, corporate development, or business-to-business sales. Demonstrated success in managing teams, cultivating partnerships, and achieving revenue goals is essential, along with a high level of CRM proficiency and comfort navigating data-driven strategy. A bachelor’s degree is required (master’s preferred). Above all, candidates should bring a collaborative, mission-aligned mindset and a deep passion for community impact.
