Position Summary

The Director of Development, Northern California will make an impact at AJC by developing and implementing strategies to elevate philanthropic support from current supporters and broadening the base of donors.

The incumbent will be responsible for the multi-faceted development campaign that engages leadership and major donors, corporations, and foundations. Additionally, because AJC’s Northern California office services Utah and Hawaii, this is an opportunity to develop a leadership and donor pipeline across multiple states.

Reporting to the Regional Director and working as part of a highly collaborative team, the Director of Development will also work with autonomy, in identifying, researching, cultivating, engaging, soliciting, and stewarding existing donors and new prospects, managing fundraising events, and serving as a Development advisor and subject-matter expert. This position is accountable for expanding the scope and impact of development initiatives.

While there are no current direct reports, based on the growth of fundraising initiatives, there may be future opportunities to hire additional fundraising staff.

The Director of Development, Northern California does all of this while adhering to AJC’s core values: Respect, Teamwork, Integrity, Excellence, and Accountability. 

Primary Responsibilities:
  • Develop and implement event strategies including researching donors/prospects, building committees, identifying honorees, constructing fundraising events, managing expenses of those events, recruiting for overall AJC programs, and guaranteeing proper follow up to build and strengthening AJC’s presence in the financial services and legal industries.
     
  • Lead the development and execution of the assigned region's/department's strategy, goals, objectives, and action plans.
     
  • Develop, oversee, and facilitate fundraising campaigns, programs, events, and initiatives.
     
  • Identify, research, cultivate, engage, solicit, and steward existing donors and new prospects.
     
  • Collaborate with and manage the work of Boards, committees, task forces, or working groups.
     
  • Manage and mentor assigned team staff, if relevant.
     
  • Leverage resources to help build awareness of and support for the AJC and Development initiatives.
     
  • Oversee and maintain accurate financial records and budgets for development-related programs and events.
     
  • Create reports and analyze department activities, metrics, and impact.
     
  • Advise, and support assigned Departments or Regional Offices with development strategies, activities, initiatives, and processes.
     
  • Develop relationships with and engage strategic contacts, groups, and organizations.
     
  • Design and disseminate reports and marketing resources to cultivate donor interest and secure funding.
     
  • Perform other job-related duties as required.
