(Career Progress) Development Director -- The Fairness Project (remote, but HQ in DC)

Let's face it: some fundraising jobs can be a real drag.

All too often you're just seen as the money machine, shunted away from programs and people, setting up the same old galas and dialing for the same old dollars ...

Well, not this job. This one's different.

The Fairness Project uses state and local ballot initiatives to win economic justice for working people. We incubate, fund, and work directly with local grassroots leaders to run and win those campaigns. So our Director of Development isn't raising money for us. They're raising money for exciting, winning, high-impact campaigns around the country -- and then seeing the fruits of those campaigns every election season.

You should apply here if you are:

1. Looking for wins. TFP has 18 wins and one loss. We're poised to rack up more wins on Nov 3. It feels great.
2. Ready for growth. This is a top-level leadership role, responsible for nearly doubling our budget from $3.2 million to $5 million. Perhaps that's your comfort zone already, or perhaps you're eager to step up into this level. We are very committed to growing our staff's skills and connections. You'll leave here more accomplished than you arrived.
3. Excited to make the ask. We'll put you in front of deep pockets, and you'll love opening them up. You don't have to be wildly extroverted, but you should be confident around decisionmakers with money, and be ready to explain how TFP is helping THEM achieve THEIR goals.
4. Enamored with TFP's strategy. We think ballot initiatives are awesome, because we see, every day, how many peoples' lives they can improve. If that captures your imagination the way it captures ours, then you can probably infect donors with that enthusiasm, too.
5. Tired of having a new gig every election cycle. TFP is always on -- running campaigns while building the next set of them. You won't need to move to be close to a candidate or look for a new job the second Wednesday in November.

LOCATION: TFP is headquartered in DC, but remote candidates are very welcome.

SALARY & BENEFITS: $100,000-140,000, negotiable within that range. TFP offers fully paid health, dental, and vision and a generous paid time off program.

If this sounds like a role you could thrive in and an organization you'd feel proud to call home, read the details here, or just go ahead and apply here.
