Who we are:
We’re Population Services International (PSI), the world’s leading non-profit social marketing organization. We work to make it easier for people in the developing world to be healthy by providing access to products and services that range from mosquito nets to HIV testing. There are over 9,000 “PSI’ers” around the world. It’s a motley group with a diverse range of backgrounds from the medical industry to the music industry, all with unique skills we bring to the job.
**
Maverick:**
Sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and operating within PSI, Maverick is a groundbreaking philanthropic and advocacy initiative catalyzing the next wave of social investors focused on improving the lives of girls and women worldwide. Co-chaired by Her Royal Highness Crown Princess of Norway Mette-Marit and Melinda Gates, Maverick engages philanthropists in ways that go far beyond the checkbook.
**
Our Mavericks:**
Maverick is comprised of a global band of maverick philanthropists – entrepreneurs, CFOs, designers, lawyers and mothers –all focused on radically improving the lives of women and girls in the developing world.
What makes our members special is that each one invests time, talent and treasure to serve as an investor in and strategic thought partner on a three-year-long pilot project. They see value in being hands-on versus giving hand-outs.
In this type of philanthropy, our members aren’t chairing fundraisers or attending galas. They are piloting and developing game-changing interventions that governments and businesses can’t advance on their own.
They’re working shoulder-to-shoulder with a global community and providing un-ignorable proof of solutions that radically impact the lives of women and girls in the most underserved parts of the world.
**
Your key contribution:**
It takes a seven-figure gift and three-year partnership to join Maverick, and we need the Director of Maverick Philanthropy to triple our membership over the next 5 years to achieve our funding targets.
Securing this kind of commitment from these powerful women is a huge task because we’re not just asking for their money. We’re asking them to commit their time, energy, and emotion – resources that must be earned through real connections and trusting relationships. This role will need to build those relationships, and that is going to take a commitment of time, energy, and emotion that exceeds what we ask of our members.
What else you’ll be doing:
The Director of Maverick Philanthropy will also be expected to deliver the following:
- Plan for the future. Partner with Maverick’s co-founder to develop Maverick’s 5-year strategic plan.
- Work across PSI. Uncover ways to develop Maverick programs through collaborations with our regional and technical departments as well as our field offices.
- Keep the engine running. Make sure the Maverick team never loses sight of our strategy and stays on track to achieve our goals.
- Get your hands dirty. Cultivate your own portfolio of Maverick members with specific annual goals and objectives.
- Liaise with the board. Work closely with PSI’s board to keep them in the loop and solicit their advice and feedback on all things Maverick.
