About the role

Vera Institute of Justice in Brooklyn, NY seeks a Director of Individual Giving to lead strategy, growth, and execution of the donor pipeline. You will personally cultivate and solicit a portfolio of about 75 prospects with $100k+ capacity while aligning with organizational priorities. You will manage a team and collaborate with leadership to design and implement strategies across digital, events, and major gifts to maximize long-term philanthropic investment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
