Position Title: Chief Growth Officer
Location: 11821 East Freeway, Suite 500, Houston, TX 77029
Employment Type: Full-Time
Work Mode: In-Person
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer
Salary Range: $115,000 annually, plus performance bonus
EHCEC is the regional development anchor for East Harris County.
We build systems.
We move fast.
We measure outcomes, not activity.
There is no playbook for this work.
This region has been underserved for decades.
You are not stepping into a polished system — you are helping to build it.
EHCEC does not run disconnected initiatives or transactional efforts. We build institutional systems that move capital, partnerships, and communities from fragmentation to alignment.
Regional transformation fails when growth is person-dependent.
Without a strong growth system:
Revenue relies on individual relationships
Staff burn out
Partnerships remain transactional
Growth creates strain instead of capacity
The Chief Growth Officer exists to solve this problem.
This role designs and steers EHCEC’s financial growth engine — ensuring the organization can raise and sustain millions without reliance on any single person, while protecting mission integrity, staff capacity, and long-term sustainability.
This is a systems leadership seat, not a traditional fundraising role.
The Chief Growth Officer is the architect of EHCEC’s growth engine.
This is not a role defined by hustle, volume, or personal heroics.
It is a general management seat focused on systems design, leverage, and repeatability.
The Chief Growth Officer builds structures that:
Attract aligned capital
Support multi-year investment
Reduce strain on staff and leadership
Allow the organization to confidently say “no” to misaligned money
Success in this role is measured by durability, not noise.
The growth system stewarded by the Chief Growth Officer is expected to:
Generate $1.5M+ in multi-year, renewable investment over time
Support workplace giving across 15+ employers
Operate through force multiplier structures rather than one-to-one fundraising
Enable corporate renewals with minimal executive lift
Design and steward EHCEC’s long-term growth strategy
Build capital systems rather than person-dependent pipelines
Establish structures that support renewal and alignment
Protect the organization from funding that compromises mission or capacity
Partner with the CEO on growth-related tradeoffs

Workforce alignment

Ensure a consistent, institution-level corporate experience
Architect a scalable, employer-based giving model

Develop structures that reduce reliance on individual hustle
Build and steward external leverage structures, including:
Peer investor groups
Employer leadership tables

Shift growth from person-dependent to system-dependent
Ensure growth can continue without reliance on any single individual
Provide strategic leadership to the Director of Marketing & Brand
Protect EHCEC’s institutional voice and credibility
Ensure brand and narrative support long-term trust and investment
Align public-facing materials to growth strategy
Serve as a member of the Executive Leadership Team
Bring a capital lens to enterprise decisions
Partner with executive peers to ensure growth aligns with capacity
Surface risks early and protect organizational health
Lead the Resource Development Department
Build systems that reduce burnout and eliminate hero culture
Develop leaders and clear ownership across the growth function
Reinforce a low-ego, accountability-driven culture
✅ A systems thinker who thrives in complexity
✅ A generalist leader with strong judgment
✅ Someone energized by building what does not yet exist
✅ A low-ego executive comfortable transferring ownership
✅ A leader motivated by long-term institutional impact
A transactional fundraiser
A hero-driven or hustle-oriented leader
Someone seeking personal credit
A subject-matter expert who wants to execute tactics
Anyone uncomfortable with ambiguity or shared ownership
8–12+ years of leadership experience in growth, partnerships, or institutional development
Proven experience building systems, not just closing deals
Comfort operating in ambiguity and white space
Strong judgment and executive presence
A low-ego, team-first leadership style
Content expertise is not required.
You are hired to build and steward systems, not execute every task.
Build a deep understanding of EHCEC’s mission, backbone role, and growth philosophy
Assess existing revenue streams, partnerships, and growth-related systems
Understand where growth is person-dependent versus system-supported
Establish trust and working rhythm with the CEO, Executive Leadership Team, and growth staff
