The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy seeks a Development Director to work with the executive team and program directors to lead the expansion of its development program.
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) acts as a catalyst to advance energy efficiency policies, programs, technologies, investments, and behaviors. ACEEE is working to build an energy-efficient and low-carbon future, one in which the efficient use of energy helps the United States achieve economic prosperity, climate resilience, and a healthy environment.
ACEEE was founded in 1980 by leading researchers in the energy field. Since that time, the United States has made significant strides in improving energy efficiency across all sectors of the economy. Yet enormous savings opportunities remain. ACEEE is working to overcome barriers and accelerate the pace of efficiency gains to help consumers, create jobs, grow the economy, enhance energy security, increase resilience, and mitigate climate change.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Development Director will refine, implement, and periodically reset a strategic direction for fundraising, working closely with the executive team and program directors to strengthen stewardship of existing funders and cultivate new funders. With a two-person team, the Director will focus efforts on diversifying and expanding ACEEE’s foundation and corporate relations programs while providing overall leadership for all revenue streams.
