Director of Institutional Advancement

Join a growing Jewish community with endless opportunity—and help shape the future of a school on the rise!

The Silver Academy is seeking a mission-aligned, results-driven Director of Institutional Advancement to lead our work in admissions, development, marketing, and communications. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to build something meaningful alongside a passionate team and an engaged, warm, and excited community.

We are a small school with a big vision, and we’re looking for someone who is both strategic and hands-on. You’ll work closely with a collaborative leadership team to set goals, build momentum, and drive growth. This role is ideal for someone who loves both thinking big and getting things done.

Why now? Why you?

Silver Academy is growing—and fast. We’re located in a warm and affordable Jewish community with strong support, real energy, and room to make your mark. Staff receive free tuition for their children, and there’s never been a better time to join a mission-focused team that is building something powerful together.

In this role, you will:

• Build strong relationships with families, students, donors, and staff
• Use data to drive decisions and track real impact
• Design and execute strategies to grow enrollment, increase fundraising, and elevate our brand
• Lead powerful storytelling that highlights our mission, values, and unique voice
• Collaborate across departments to ensure unified, effective messaging and progress

You might be early in your career—and that’s okay.
If you’ve got hustle, heart, and proof that you’ve made real things happen—whether that’s launching a campaign, growing engagement, improving a system, or anything else that shows your drive—we want to hear from you.

You are:

• Strategic and creative—you see the big picture and know how to get there
• Organized and effective—you make a plan and make it happen
• Data-savvy and people-centered—you love metrics and meaningful connections
• A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven space
• Always learning—you’re hungry for growth and humble enough to seek it out
• Motivated by mission—you’re excited to help a small Jewish day school thrive

This is a rare opportunity to help lead the transformation of a beloved institution and be part of a Jewish community that’s building something special. Join us as we grow—with purpose, with heart, and with a deep commitment to our mission.
