Position Description
The Manager of Prospect Management and Research serves as a core driver of XPRIZE’s intelligence-led fundraising system, operating at the intersection of prospect strategy, fundability insight, and pipeline performance.
This role is not a traditional research function. It is a strategic partner to fundraisers and leadership, responsible for building and managing a disciplined, prioritized, and insight-driven prospect pipeline that fuels Advancement’s funding priorities.
The Manager will execute a structured prospecting and portfolio management model aligned to XPRIZE’s fundability-informed prioritization framework, ensuring that research effort is directed toward the highest-impact opportunities and that pipeline development is continuous, intentional, and measurable.
This role sits within Integrated Strategy and works in close partnership with Advancement leadership, Strategic Philanthropy, and Community teams to ensure that prospect intelligence informs decision-making, not just reporting.
