iMentor is seeking a strategic and relationship-driven Director of Corporate Partnerships to build and manage a growing portfolio of corporate funders. This role is central to advancing iMentor’s mission to help students in under-resourced communities succeed in college and beyond by securing and growing corporate philanthropic investment.

At a moment when companies are rethinking how to build the future workforce and address widening opportunity gaps, this role will help translate corporate priorities into meaningful partnerships that expand access to mentorship, networks, and career pathways for young people. This is an exciting moment at iMentor, as we expand our national partnerships strategy and deepen our work at the intersection of mentorship and economic opportunity.

Reporting to the National Managing Director of Institutional Partnerships, the Director is a key member of the Development team within External Relations. This is an individual contributor role for a fundraiser who can both cultivate new opportunities and manage a complex portfolio with strong execution and attention to detail, while bringing a strategic, multi-year lens to corporate partnerships and supporting the evolution of iMentor’s national partnership strategy.

The Director will manage a portfolio of corporate partners and prospects, securing 5-6 figure philanthropic investments through grants and sponsorships. Success in this role requires strong relationship management, clear communication, and the ability to collaborate and align internal and external stakeholders to deliver meaningful partner engagement and measurable impact.
