In each capacity, provide oversight and management, creative partnership, an impact approach, and infrastructure, including legal and financial support, so that our production and editorial teams are equipped to produce top-notch work. • Build and sustain relationships with stakeholders including: key target audiences within Palestinian, Israeli, and American societies; journalists, editors, and media makers; allied nonprofit organizations and movement leaders; media, development, public engagement, operations, and finance staff; the Board; and major donors and foundations. • Act as chief ambassador, deepening stakeholder relationships across movements, media, and philanthropy. • Lead fundraising efforts to grow a robust, diversified $3M+ revenue. • Hire and supervise an incoming Development Director who will manage the development and execution of Just Vision’s fundraising strategy. • Act as a primary fundraising solicitor for Just Vision, owning key major donor and institutional relationships and portfolios. • Hold Just Vision’s values and missions at the core of all fundraising efforts, ensuring no funding compromises the credibility or independence of the organization.
