Reports to: Development Director

About us:

JVP (our 501c3) and JVP Action (our 501c4) are building a multiracial, intergenerational movement of Jews and allies working towards justice and equality in Israel/Palestine by transforming U.S. policy. We draw strength from over half a million supporters, 70 chapters, and decades of organizing for freedom and dignity in Israel/Palestine and the US. We’re mapping out a path for Palestinian rights to become a core part of the progressive agenda, we’re fighting for freedom for all people, and we’re writing a new chapter of Jewish life. 

About the role:

The individual in this role must be able to effectively manage timelines, provide fundraising solicitation skill-building support for volunteer fundraisers and JVP chapters, and collaborate across the organization. This position will also contribute to the overall visioning of the JVP family of organizations’ fundraising strategy and will have opportunities to innovate to grow the movement at large. The Senior Fundraising Campaigns Coordinator will report directly to the Director of Development.
