The Tech is in the search for a Vice President of Development. Advancing an audacious plan to educate and inspire the next generation of tech innovators and problem-solvers through interactive hand-on, minds-on experiences, The Tech seeks a fundraising impresario to marshal the full power of the board and staff to directly solicit contributions from individual, corporate, government and foundation investors.

In 1998 The Tech Interactive opened its iconic building in downtown San Jose to much hope and acclaim and has since welcomed more than 10 million visitors, and is recognized locally, nationally and globally for its programming. With a mission “to inspire the innovator in everyone,” The Tech seeks to close the opportunity gap and prepare all children for our future, with a focus on those who are marginalized, have limited incomes, or are unable to gain access to educational resources. The Tech does this by sparking interest during their youth, teaching them skills and confidence as they grow, and eventually connecting them with networks, mentors, and career paths that will enable them to make their impact on the world. Building on The Tech’s experience, reputation, deep local roots and the national attention it has received, the Board has set a goal of extending the reach of its programs and materials to 100 million people annually by 2040. This includes scaling programs globally for students, educators and educational institutions following a successful pilot in Kenya.

Reporting to the CEO and as a member of the Executive Team, the Vice President of Development is a creative and data-driven leader who will develop and drive a comprehensive fundraising strategy, annual development plan and capital campaign to increase contributed revenue, secure vital investments, and foster authentic relationships to propel the vision of The Tech forward.
