About The Henry Project PAC

The Henry Project (THP) is an independent-expenditure only committee (Super PAC) focused on building durable Democratic power in Kentucky.

Our model is simple but disciplined:

• Recruit credible Democratic candidates before they file

• Provide early training and strategic preparation

• Deploy targeted independent expenditures in competitive districts

We believe early investment and serious infrastructure are what make districts competitive — not last-minute spending.

As we scale ahead of the general election and establish ourselves, we are seeking a Finance Director to build and execute an ambitious, high-dollar fundraising program.

Position Overview

The Finance Director will lead all fundraising strategy and execution for The Henry Project PAC, with a focus on high-capacity donor cultivation, major gifts, and all things fundraising. This is a senior leadership role responsible for designing and implementing a finance plan capable of raising substantial early-cycle capital. The ideal candidate is strategic, organized, confident in all sorts of donor settings. Salary is $50,000-$65,000 per year, commensurate with experience. Performance based incentives may be available.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute a comprehensive finance plan to meet aggressive fundraising goals

• Cultivate, solicit, and steward major donors

• Manage meetings between major donors and the Board of Directors

• Manage and grow host committees and event fundraising

• Conduct call time and manage board call time and fundraising

• Prepare briefing materials and donor strategy memos

• Oversee compliance coordination with legal and compliance vendors

• Build and manage finance tracking systems and reporting

• Staff fundraising meetings and donor events

• Identify and research new high-capacity prospects

Qualifications

Candidates will ideally have 3+ years of political finance experience (PAC, IE, campaign, or nonprofit preferred) with demonstrated success in raising major gifts and executing 6-7 figure budgets. Ideal candidates will have a strong understanding of independent expenditure fundraising dynamics and assist the Board of Directors. Candidates must be comfortable interacting with high-net-worth individuals and institutional donors, have exceptional written and verbal communication skills, demonstrate a high level of discretion and professionalism. While this role is remote, travel within Kentucky and for large fundraisers across the county may be needed.
