Chicago, United States The Obama Foundation Full time

**About the Obama Foundation**:
At the Obama Foundation, we are guided by a core belief: that ordinary people working together can change history. Our mission is to **inspire** those people to take action, **empower** them to change their world for the better, and **connect** them so they can achieve more together than they can alone.

We were founded by community organizers, so when we seek change, we do it by bringing people together.

That approach begins at home, on the South Side of Chicago, where we are building the Obama Presidential Center. The Center represents a historic opportunity for Chicago: a chance to build a world-class museum and public gathering space that celebrates our nation's first African American President and First Lady, steps away from where he began his career, where she was raised, and where—together—they made their home.

But that approach extends to all our work, whether it's holding leadership training sessions in communities throughout the U.S., bringing local leaders together in countries around the world, working to support the global education of girls, or ensuring young men of color have pathways to opportunity.

As President Obama has said, "we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together." So join us.

**Location**:
Chicago; Washington, D.C.

**Purpose of the Role**

The Donor Relations Analyst will provide essential support in the creation and coordination of the Foundation's donor communications materials and execution of our stewardship activities. Reporting to the Donor Relations Deputy Director, you will work closely with the current Donor Relations Senior Associate and Development Writer, as well as individuals across the Development operations and frontline teams.

- **Frontline Development Communications**: Draft talking points, background materials, and pitch materials for frontline development staff.
