About Harness
Nonprofits run on donations, but are stuck in spreadsheets and legacy software. Harness has spent the last 5 years building a proprietary data asset of fundraising data across 100s of nonprofits. Today we’re proud to launch Harness Advisor, an AI platform that uses agents to plan and execute fundraising campaigns in a few clicks.
The role
This is not a learn-on-the-job seat. We want someone who has already carried a number, knows what a great day on the phones looks like, and wants the freedom to experiment and the accountability to crush.
What you'll do
- Own the phones: 150+ dials a day through Orum
- Build and run multi-channel sequences across phone, email and LinkedIn in Outreach
- Work every play: referrals from happy customers, nonprofits on no fundraising platform today, accounts that have gone quiet, and organizations showing buying intent
- Run two-week sprints on a vertical or region (for example, animal welfare on the East Coast), then report back on what worked and what didn’t
- Experiment constantly: test openers, talk tracks, sequences and segments, and keep what wins
- Write the outbound playbook the next SDRs will run
- Hand every meeting to an AE with the context they need to close it
- Bring what you hear on calls back to marketing and product
What you bring
- At least 1 year as an SDR or BDR with a quota you consistently hit. Bring your numbers.
- A track record of high-volume cold calling: 150 dials is a normal day for you, not a stretch
- Experience with a parallel or power dialer (Orum, Nooks, ConnectAndSell or similar)
- A builder’s mindset: you’ve tested your own scripts and sequences and can tell us what moved the numbers
- A short memory for a no: you hang up and hit the next dial
- Self-direction and coachability: you don’t wait to be told what’s next, and you use feedback the same day
- Clear, warm writing and a natural phone presence
- Comfort with variable pay. You’d rather bet on yourself.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with Outreach, Salesforce, Clay or LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- Experience selling to nonprofits, or a background in fundraising or development
- Experience selling AI or SaaS to small and mid-sized organizations
- Ambition to move into a closing role or lead the SDR team as it grows
Compensation
- Base Salary: $50k-55k $80K
- On-Target Earnings: $75k-$80k, base salary and commission depending on experience and location
- Accelerators: Variable paid on qualified meetings held, with accelerators above target
- Ramp: A structured ramp in your first months
Why join
- Be first. A founding seat: you write the playbook and set the standard.
- Learn to sell AI. Advisor is the kind of product every seller will be selling in five years. Get the reps in now.
- Sell something that matters. Every deal helps an organization doing real good raise more money.
- Work with a leadership that has successfully built and sold companies. Direct access, real input, fast decisions.

Tips for Your Remote Development Advisor Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote development advisor openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles that match your sector and experience level and apply directly before postings close. Remote roles at distributed organizations often fill faster than in-office equivalents.
Show your async communication skills upfront
Remote development advisor employers screen for written clarity before they screen for anything else. Lead your cover letter with a concise, well-structured summary of a past advisory outcome. If your writing reads like a strong project memo, you signal you can operate remotely without hand-holding.
Build a results-focused advisory portfolio
Compile two or three documented examples of development advisory work, funded proposals you shaped, programs you helped design, or stakeholder relationships you managed. Remote employers can't observe your process in an office, so concrete artifacts that show outcomes carry more weight than titles or responsibilities listed on a resume.
Target organizations with distributed team structures
Remote-first nonprofits, international development organizations, and distributed consulting firms are the most consistent hirers of remote development advisors. Look for roles where the team is explicitly cross-regional or where the organization's programs already operate remotely across multiple locations.
Remote Development Advisor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote development advisor job?
Target remote-first organizations and distributed teams in sectors like nonprofit, education, and international development, where remote advisory work is well established. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and the ability to manage stakeholders asynchronously. A portfolio of past advisory outcomes, demonstrated remote project management, and strong written samples give candidates a clear edge over applicants who can only show in-person experience.
Which companies hire remote development advisors?
Employers currently hiring remote development advisors include Canon, FlexUp, and Harness, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first nonprofits, international development organizations, and distributed consulting firms account for the largest share of remote openings in this role.
Can you get a remote development advisor job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level development advisor roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Smaller nonprofits and remote-first startups are more likely to take a chance on emerging candidates. Showing volunteer advisory work, grant-writing samples, or a documented project outcome can substitute meaningfully for formal job titles on your resume.
Do you need a degree for remote development advisor jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers value demonstrated advisory results, sector knowledge, and communication skills alongside or instead of a formal degree. Candidates who can show concrete outcomes, such as funded proposals, program growth, or measurable stakeholder impact, often compete effectively against degree holders, particularly at remote-first organizations that focus on output over credentials.
