Lead Growth. Drive Impact. Shape the Future of Senior Living.
Argentum—the leading national association advancing the senior living industry—is seeking a dynamic, relationship-driven Vice President of Development & Revenue Operations to lead and grow our revenue strategy at a pivotal moment for the sector.
This is more than a fundraising role. It’s a unique opportunity to build, scale, and innovate across multiple revenue streams—from membership and sponsorships to advocacy and workforce initiatives—while working directly with the CEO and senior leadership team to expand Argentum’s impact nationwide.
If you’re a strategic leader who thrives on building relationships, driving results, and inspiring teams, we’d love to talk to you.
About the Role
In this high-impact leadership role, you will shape and execute the revenue strategy that fuels Argentum’s mission and long-term growth. You will lead efforts across advocacy fundraising, PAC support, membership recruitment and retention, sponsorship sales, and new non-dues revenue opportunities, while partnering closely with the President/CEO, senior leadership team, staff, and Board.
You’ll guide a talented team, strengthen partnerships with members and donors, and help position Argentum for sustained success in a rapidly evolving industry.
What You’ll Do
- Drive a Multi-Channel Revenue Strategy
- Lead all revenue-generating functions, including membership growth, sponsorships, advertising, and non-dues revenue programs.
- Develop and execute a bold fundraising strategy supporting Argentum’s policy, advocacy, and workforce development priorities.

- Identify and grow new revenue streams, including innovative programmatic and partnership opportunities.
- Build and Grow High-Impact Relationships
- Cultivate and steward relationships with corporate partners, foundations, and major donors.
- Develop strategies for major gifts and multi-year commitments.
- Partner with the CEO and Board to expand engagement and strengthen donor pipelines.
- Lead Membership & Business Development
- Drive strategies to grow and retain membership, while expanding sponsorship and business development opportunities.
- Collaborate across teams to align revenue-generating opportunities with events, education, credentialing, communications, and signature programs.
- Leverage market insights and industry trends to strengthen Argentum’s value proposition.
- Launch and Scale New Initiatives
- Lead fundraising strategy for a new workforce development initiative focused on training, career advancement, and public awareness in senior living.
- Help shape innovative approaches to mission-aligned revenue growth that support Argentum’s long-term strategic priorities.
- Lead, Inspire, and Collaborate
- Manage and inspire a high-performing, collaborative team.
- Partner cross-functionally to align revenue efforts with policy, communications, events, and strategic priorities.
- Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO on revenue growth, fundraising strategy, and partner engagement.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate brings deep nonprofit development experience, strong executive presence, and a proven ability to generate revenue across multiple channels. You should be a confident strategist who can translate big-picture goals into action, build lasting relationships, and inspire others to rally around a shared mission.
We’re especially interested in candidates who have:
- 10+ years of experience in nonprofit development, membership, or business development.
- A track record of securing five- and six-figure gifts and building diversified revenue streams.
- Experience managing budgets, forecasts, and revenue targets.
- Exceptional communication, networking, and leadership skills.
