Major Gift Officer
Role Type: Full Time

Travel Requirement: Ability to travel up to 35% of the time.
Reports to: Development Director
Atlas Free is on a mission to end sex trafficking and exploitation. Our work is urgent, relational, and built on trust. Major donors are among the most powerful forces in the fight for freedom. Strong relationships with them mobilize the resources required to dismantle trafficking and expand frontline solutions. We are looking for a gifted communicator and sharp storyteller who can clearly articulate Atlas Free's mission to people with the capacity to accelerate it. This person will not simply manage a portfolio. They will help expand the reach, reputation, and influence of Atlas Free among major donors and strategic partners.
At Atlas Free, fundraising is relational, connecting generosity directly to measurable impact. The Major Gifts Officer will manage and grow a portfolio of high-capacity supporters while cultivating new relationships, turning meaningful engagement into multi-year financial investment in the mission. We are looking for someone who wants to do fundraising differently. Someone who believes strong relationships, compelling storytelling, and clear opportunities for impact drive generosity.
