      Associate Director Interview

      Jun 13, 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CCS Fundraising (Washington, DC) in Jul 2023

      Interview

      First level phone screen. Sometimes it can take a while for them to get back to you. That's a pretty casual conversation but its important to talk about experience, proximity to fundraising, and what your goals are. This is generally done by someone on the operations team who isn't client-facing, but has a deep understanding of the company's activities and relationships across the firm. Really use this to get to know you. Second interview is more technical and involves presenting a slide deck (given as an assignment after the phone screen). It was over Zoom and involved a panel of people who were client-facing (they actually do the job you're interviewing for) and pretty senior. You talk about yourself and your interests - its important for your interests to align, its important to CCS that people want to be there and see a path to growth. Lots of historical problems with turnover, especially poc. On the presentation, they are mostly making sure that you 1. Generally understand the tone of fundraising (my assignment was to plan a non-profit board retreat and deliver a 5-year revenue growth plan) 2. Can create deliverable documents that are polished, complete, and visually appealing 3. Have basic emotional intelligence and could interact with and present to a new client comfortably 4. Know how to use Excel and Powerpoint If that goes well, you should be invited to a 1-on-1 interview with an executive that is mostly a formality. The executive will get to know you a bit and talk a lot about the role, mostly making sure you understand what you're getting into and what the culture is like. I'm sure its more of a "culture fit" type of thing. I don't know anybody who dropped in the final interview. Good luck to everyone!
