Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships & Development

Help Us Bring a Proven Program to Thousands of Combat Veterans and Their Caregivers
Project New Day (https://projectnewday.foundation) is seeking an accomplished nonprofit fundraising leader with a demonstrated record of personally securing major philanthropic gifts and developing strategic partnerships. The successful candidate will leverage established relationships with individual donors, foundations, and organizations serving the military and veteran communities to help Project New Day expand its reach and impact.
From the beginning, Project New Day has pursued a deliberate, three-stage strategy:
- Develop a program that helps members of the combat veteran community move beyond needless emotional suffering and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
- Demonstrate that the program works, through systematic evaluation, measurable outcomes, and participant feedback.
- Scale the program to reach thousands of people, providing it at no cost to participants.
We have successfully completed the first two stages and are now actively pursuing the third.
Our program is established, our research findings are exceptionally strong, participant feedback is overwhelmingly positive, and we have dozens of highly trained professional coaches ready to support expansion.
We are looking for an experienced leader who can accelerate this growth by developing strategic partnerships, cultivating philanthropic relationships, and helping secure the sustainable funding necessary to reach thousands of participants.
This is a senior-level, part-time opportunity for someone who has already demonstrated success growing nonprofit organizations, particularly those serving veterans or addressing mental health and emotional well-being.
About Project New Day
Project New Day is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2019 and supported by Mike Sinyard, founder of Specialized Bicycle Components.
Our structured, 12-week virtual coaching program integrates modern neuroscience, trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness, positive psychology, and other evidence-informed methods to help participants develop greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
The program is always provided at no cost to participants.
Over the past two years, we have systematically evaluated multiple program cohorts and documented statistically significant improvements in depression, anxiety, pain interference, and other measures of well-being.
Our combined 2024–2025 evaluations found reductions of 47% in depression and 40% in anxiety, along with meaningful improvements in other measures. Participants consistently report high levels of satisfaction with the program.
We have built a comprehensive curriculum, developed the infrastructure to deliver the program virtually, and trained dozens of professional coaches who are prepared to support expansion.
Our focus now is to build the partnerships and sustainable funding that will allow us to serve thousands of participants.
The Position
The Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships & Development will work directly with Project New Day's Executive Director to accelerate organizational growth, expand our partnerships, and develop sustainable sources of philanthropic funding.
This is a senior-level leadership position emphasizing strategic relationships, fundraising, and organizational development rather than day-to-day administrative work.
The position has three principal responsibilities:
1. Strategic Partnerships and Organizational Growth
Identify and establish productive relationships with veterans' organizations, military-affiliated nonprofits, caregiver support organizations, and other institutions that can help Project New Day reach more participants.
Develop partnerships that generate referrals, collaborative initiatives, sponsorships, and opportunities for broader program delivery.
Leverage existing professional relationships to accelerate Project New Day's expansion.
2. Fundraising and Philanthropic Development
Identify and cultivate relationships with individual donors, philanthropic foundations, corporate sponsors, and other potential funding partners.
Communicate a compelling case for supporting Project New Day, drawing on our documented program outcomes, participant experiences, established curriculum, and readiness for expansion.
Develop and implement a practical fundraising strategy that supports long-term organizational growth.
Take a leadership role in engaging prospective major donors and funding partners, building relationships, and securing financial commitments.
3. Leadership and Mentoring
Provide strategic direction and mentorship to a development support professional responsible for grant research, grant writing, funding proposals, and related administrative activities.
Help establish fundraising priorities, identify promising funding opportunities, and guide the preparation of persuasive proposals and presentations.
Review and strengthen funding materials to ensure they effectively communicate Project New Day's mission, demonstrated outcomes, and potential for expansion.
The Senior Director will concentrate on high-level relationships, strategic direction, and securing commitments, while working with support personnel who handle much of the research, writing, and administrative work.
Required Qualifications
This is not an entry-level or training position. We are seeking someone with substantial, directly relevant experience who can contribute immediately.
Candidates must have:
- Demonstrated success growing nonprofit organizations, preferably in veterans' services, mental health, trauma recovery, or related fields.
- A proven record of developing strategic partnerships with nonprofit organizations, foundations, corporations, or other mission-aligned institutions.
- Significant experience in fundraising and donor development, including successfully securing philanthropic support.
- Strong familiarity with military culture and the veteran community, gained through military service, being the spouse or partner of a combat veteran, or substantial professional experience working in military or veterans' organizations.
- An established professional network within the veterans' services, military-affiliated nonprofit, or philanthropic communities, with the demonstrated ability to leverage those relationships to advance Project New Day's mission.
- The ability to make a persuasive case for philanthropic investment, using program outcomes, research findings, and compelling narratives to engage prospective supporters.
- Experience providing leadership, guidance, and mentorship to development or fundraising staff.
- Excellent relationship-building and communication skills, with the confidence and credibility to engage senior nonprofit leaders and prospective donors.
- A genuine passion for improving the lives of combat veterans, their spouses, partners, and caregivers.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have previously helped a veterans' services or mental health nonprofit expand its reach, develop significant partnerships, or secure substantial new funding.
Position Details
Position: Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships & Development
Employment: Part-time, approximately 10–15 hours per week
Location: Fully remote, United States only
Schedule: Flexible, with availability for meetings during normal U.S. business hours

Why Join Project New Day?
Project New Day offers an unusual opportunity to help expand a program that has been deliberately developed, systematically evaluated, and prepared for growth.
Our founder's philanthropic support has enabled us to build a comprehensive curriculum, establish a network of highly trained coaches, and evaluate program outcomes without charging participants.
We have successfully completed the first two stages of our long-term strategy: developing an effective program and demonstrating its value through systematic evaluation.
We are now actively executing the third stage: scaling the program to reach thousands of combat veterans and their caregivers.
For an experienced nonprofit leader who understands the military community and has a passion for improving veterans' lives, this is an opportunity to make a substantial contribution while working on a flexible, part-time basis.
This opportunity may be particularly attractive to an experienced nonprofit executive seeking a flexible, part-time leadership role with the opportunity to make a significant impact.

Tips for Your Remote Senior Director Strategic Partnerships Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote senior director strategic partnerships openings from across the U.S. in one place so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through location-filtered postings that don't apply to you.
Prove async partnership leadership on your resume
Remote hiring managers want evidence you've built and managed high-value relationships without relying on in-person meetings. Call out Slack-based stakeholder alignment, async deal review processes, and CRM-driven pipeline visibility to show you're built for distributed partnership work.
Tailor your pitch to remote-first company culture
Remote-first firms hire differently than companies with hybrid HQs. Read their public team pages, changelogs, and job descriptions for signals like 'async-first,' 'written communication,' or 'documentation culture' and mirror that language when you describe how you run partner programs.
Prepare for a multi-stage async interview process
Many remote employers at this level include a written strategy exercise, a Loom or async video screen, and a live panel with cross-functional stakeholders. Practice articulating your partnership thesis and deal process clearly in writing and on camera before your first screen.

Can you get a remote senior director strategic partnerships job with no experience?
Yes, but remote senior director roles at this level are competitive precisely because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without on-site coaching. Early-career candidates can target remote-first startups building their partnerships function, where initiative matters more than tenure. Showing a documented record of deals sourced, relationships built, and revenue influenced, even from adjacent roles, opens doors faster than a title alone.

Not always. Many remote employers hiring at the senior director level weigh partnership pipeline results, revenue impact, and cross-functional leadership experience more heavily than a specific degree. A bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field is common in job postings, but candidates who can demonstrate measurable outcomes from alliance and channel work are competitive with or without it.
Which industries hire the most remote senior director strategic partnershipss?
Remote senior director strategic partnerships roles concentrate in Banking & Financial Services, Retail, and Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed partnership teams to build alliance networks, manage channel relationships, and drive co-sell programs across regions without requiring leaders to sit in a central office.
