What are the responsibilities and job description for the Development Director position at Breakthrough T1D?
As the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization, Breakthrough T1D helps make everyday life with T1D better while driving toward cures. We invest in the most promising research to turn ideas into life-changing therapies and devices. We work with government, regulatory officials, and insurance companies to address issues that impact the T1D community -- breaking through barriers that limit access to care worldwide. We provide resources and guidance that makes it easier to live and thrive with T1D. This is more than a moment -- we're empowering a movement for the T1D community. Share your support and help educate and empower individuals facing type 1 diabetes.
Our mission is to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life changing breakthroughs to treat, prevent and ultimately, cure T1D and its complications. Always, we are guided by a single purpose: As we drive towards curing type 1 diabetes, we help make everyday life better for the people who face it.
The Development Director will play an integral role in the strategy and day-to-day execution of pipeline development, community engagement and integrated fundraising efforts for the PNW Chapter in the Oregon/SW Washington market.

This position will ensure that the fundraising and non-fundraising priorities of Breakthrough T1D grow through increased family, corporate and volunteer engagement.
