Role Type: Full-Time
Reporting to: Director, Partnerships
Compensation: 
$85,000 - $110,000 annually

CodePath’s Philanthropy Partnerships team raises the philanthropic capital behind the courses, career support, and career outcomes of our students. The Partner Engagement and Communications Manager turns CodePath’s impact into action. You’ll equip the team with compelling stories, visual communications, donor experiences, and campaigns that help funders understand the difference their partnership makes and inspire them to deepen their investment. The role owns a portfolio spanning fundraising collateral and asset management, cultivation and stewardship events, and seasonal fundraising, including end-of-year giving.

This is a highly autonomous building role that combines strategic ownership with hands-on execution. You’ll lead complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives from concept through execution, and build the systems, templates, and AI-enabled workflows that make recurring fundraising communications faster and more consistent. Success requires moving quickly in a fast-paced, evolving organization, translating data and stories into compelling visual communications, and continuously improving how the team plans and executes events and campaigns.

What We Do

We deliver industry-vetted courses and career support centered on the needs of first-generation and low-income students. Our students train with senior engineers, intern at top companies, and rise together to become the tech leaders of tomorrow. Breaking into the tech industry requires a number of factors: industry-relevant knowledge, connections, specific hard and soft skills, an understanding of how to navigate the job search, and the technical interviewing process. ​​Many college CS programs don't have the depth of resources or support needed to practically set students up for career success, like keeping up with the latest industry trends, building employer partnerships, and providing access to critical internships where students can get a foothold in the industry. Even the most well-funded, prestigious programs can have gaps that prevent a comprehensive education.

Why Work With Us

We believe tech excellence can be within reach for anyone given the right resources and the chance to apply them. When you work here, you're helping make that real. If building a more inclusive future of tech alongside bright students, college programs, and top employers sounds like your kind of work, CodePath is the place.
