Director of Development

Reports to: CEO · Santa Fe, NM (hybrid onsite/remote) · $90k\-110k commensurate with experience NMCIC seeks a senior Director of Development to build and scale the fundraising engine of an impactful nonprofit green bank with strong early momentum and a differentiated, mission\-driven platform. The Opportunity  Proven momentum. In our first two years, NMCIC raised over $30 million in capital (grants, loans, and state commitments) and built a project pipeline exceeding $75 million in capex across our focus sectors.  The next stage. NMCIC is moving from seed stage to build stage. Our 2026–2028 Strategic Plan targets roughly $25–$30 million in new commitments over three years and a 3–4x increase in philanthropic and investor capital, shifting the mix from \~95% government\-sourced toward roughly 40% by 2028, on a path to $50–$60M AUM by 2028 and $80M\+ by the early 2030s.  Your mandate. Lead that diversification and anchor a growing development function as the team scales from five FTEs upward in an organization with traction, a strong board, and the only dedicated agricultural lending program at any green bank in the country. About NMCIC Our mission is to accelerate a just transition to a carbon\-neutral economy by investing in projects that reduce emissions, other climate impacts, and energy burdens for disadvantaged communities. We seek to be catalytic and non\-extractive in how we deploy loan capital, partnering with other lenders to co invest and with our borrowers through flexible terms and technical assistance, and building relationships with trusted community partners in each program area to learn from them. Our lending is organized around three program areas: Renewable Energy: Financing for New Mexico developers of small to mid\-sized renewable energy projects (solar, battery storage, and microgrids) that lower energy cost burdens or increase resilience in low\-income and disadvantaged households, with wealth building through community and nonprofit ownership. Building Decarbonization: Energy efficiency work primarily on affordable and workforce housing developments, nonprofit organizations, and small businesses. We prioritize smaller, local developers who are mission\-aligned and keeping capital in the community. We serve individual homeowners through our RISE NM program, which provides financing to homeowners based on their ability to repay. Agriculture: Designed to accelerate New Mexico’s transition to regenerative, climate\-resilient agriculture: capital for land access, infrastructure, and market alignment that helps farmers and ranchers build healthy soil, increase biodiversity, and reduce fertilizer reliance, sequester carbon, retain more water, cut emissions, and strengthen drought resilience. **Position Summary** The Director of Development will lead the strategic effort to scale NMCIC’s fundraising engine, shaping and driving a multi\-pronged strategy for a financially sustainable organization.
