Our platform is trusted by many of the world’s leading nonprofits, including UNICEF, the Alzheimer’s Association, and a wide range of global NGOs.
With a 4.9/5 rating across top software review platforms, we’re recognized not just for our impact - but for the quality of the product we deliver. About The Role The best enterprise sellers don’t wait for opportunities. They create them. If you thrive on breaking into complex organizations, earning executive trust, and closing transformational deals, you'll fit right in at Fundraise Up. This is a true hunting role: building pipeline, navigating buying committees, and helping major universities and higher ed institutions transform how they fundraise.
We coach hard, celebrate wins, learn from losses, and expect continuous improvement at every level. If six-figure deals and executive conversations energize you, let's talk. Key Responsibilities Build and manage a healthy pipeline through strategic outbound prospecting, referrals, partnerships, and marketing-generated opportunities. Own the entire sales cycle from first conversation through signed agreement. Lead thoughtful discovery that uncovers business challenges, not just product requirements.
Earn the trust of VP and President-level executives by leading consultative, business-first conversations. Build account strategies that create momentum across complex buying committees. Partner closely with Business Development, Marketing, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Partnerships to win deals. Deliver compelling virtual and in-person presentations that connect our platform to measurable business outcomes.
Navigate RFPs, procurement, legal, and commercial negotiations with confidence. Consistently exceed your annual quota while raising the bar for the entire team. This role includes up to 25% travel. At Fundraise Up, AI is a default tool, not an experimental one. We expect every team member to actively use AI in their day-to-day work, identify where AI can change the shape of problems in their function, and grow their fluency as the tools evolve.
