Director of Advancement: PowerCorpsPHL

PowerCorpsPHL (PCPHL) connects people to careers and advances community. We do this through authentic relationships, continual self-reflection, and hard work.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Director of Advancement is a newly created location-flexible senior leadership role responsible for helping PowerCorpsPHL (PCPHL) sustain and grow its work by building the relationships, resources, and public understanding that make that work possible.
