Sr. Director International Development

Who We Are

Come and See exists to invite everyone to encounter Jesus through exceptional storytelling that brings the Bible to life. We are the foundation behind The Chosen — the first-ever multi-season series about the life of Jesus — which has reached millions around the world with authentic, high-quality storytelling.

Our mission has four objectives: complete all seven seasons of The Chosen, translate the series into 600 languages, make it globally accessible, and keep it forever free — so the greatest story ever told can reach the first billion people. We believe excellence isn’t vanity; it’s our offering. And we do it together, as collaborators in a mission that matters.

This is more than media. It’s invitation and we’d love for you to be part of it.
About the Role

Come and See is building a world-class international fundraising capability and we’re looking for a Senior International Development Director to help lead it. In this role, you’ll cultivate, solicit, and steward a portfolio of 125+ international major-gift supporters and prospects (gifts of $25K+), with a goal of generating $5M+ in annual philanthropic revenue in support of our mission.

You’ll build long-term relationships with supporters across Western Europe, Asia-Pacific, South Africa, and Canada who believe in expanding the reach of the Gospel through The Chosen. Working alongside our Chief Development Officer, Senior Advisor for International Development, Global Ambassadors, and Global Distribution teams, you’ll turn strategic introductions into sustained philanthropic partnerships.

You in a nutshell: a driver and self-starter who isn’t afraid to tackle big goals and build relationships across cultures and geographies. You love people and are energized by helping supporters connect their resources to Kingdom impact. You understand that you are a bridge between supporters and the mission - and you’re equally comfortable sitting across the table from a donor in London, Singapore, Toronto, or Cape Town.
