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

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.
