About the Opportunity

The ACLU of Northern California seeks an experienced leader to direct frontline fundraising and ensure our program integrates thoughtful strategy, authentic engagement, and the right mix of innovation and best practices.

You will make a difference by providing strategic direction, supporting staff to do their best work, and cultivating a healthy working culture.

At this time in our history for both philanthropy and movements for equity, you will be essential to our work to further ground our development approach and practices in racial and social justice.

The Position

You are a leader with at least ten years of experience in the non-profit or philanthropic sectors, with at least five years of management experience, including supervising staff in varying stages of their careers.

You have experience establishing and strengthening strong, long-term partnerships with philanthropic stakeholders, primarily through the oversight and direction of major, leadership, and planned giving programs and staff.

You support your staff's success through your planning processes, goal-setting and related accountability measures, and management practices.

You think creatively about new ways to engage donors more deeply in the ACLU's work and our broader movements, and to demonstrate the impact of their giving.

You have a strong commitment to the mission and goals of the ACLU NorCal, and you are excited to address the tensions that exist between philanthropy and our work for racial and social justice.

You treat every person with whom you work with dignity and respect, and you actively work to foster an equitable and inclusive experience for donors, staff, and other partners in your work.

You are open to learning new approaches, skills, and practices, even when this may push you outside your comfort zone.

As Deputy Director, you will supervise five gift officers, report to the Director of Development, and act in place of the Director of Development in their absence.
