KDNK Hiring a Development Director

KDNK is hiring a development director, full position description here. This is a new position that represents our invigorated focus on fundraising. We seek an outgoing people person committed to the mission of community radio, who is unafraid to ask for money. The position is responsible for leading development activities including membership, volunteer coordination for events, continued growth of our major donor program, planned giving, and grants. The development director will work directly with the board of directors on fundraising activities and cultivate board involvement and station participation. ​ ​

A key element of development for the KDNK position is our membership, and this job differs from a traditional "development director" position in the focus on serving members. It is essential that candidates are comfortable working with over 1000 members, including significant volunteer organization. Assistance with outreach, promotions, and social media are a plus. Please email resume, cover letter, and three professional references to general manager Gavin Dahl no later than 5pm on October 26th. The ideal start date is November 6, 2017. No calls please.

Gavin became one of the youngest station managers in public radio on February 1, 2017. He is a writer and producer with a passion for community media. Prior to starting at KDNK as news director in 2016, Gavin worked for national radio programs Alternative Radio with David Barsamian and Nonprofit Radio with Tony Martignetti along with local stations KGNU Boulder, KYRS Spokane, KRBX Boise, KAOS Olympia, and Air America Radio affiliate KPTK Seattle. His nonprofit management experience includes Open Media Foundation, where he led a government transparency team, and Common Frequency, where his policy advocacy supported dozens of noncommercial radio startups. Boulder Weekly, Raw Story, Austin American-Statesman, Boise Weekly, and The Sopris Sun have published his reporting. His TV credits include directing teams at Colorado Channel, crewing for Democracy Now!, and hosting on Free Speech TV. He graduated from the Evergreen State College in 2008 with a BA in media production and community organizing.
