About the role

The J in Kansas City is seeking a Senior Director of Philanthropy to lead all fundraising, advancement, and donor engagement efforts. You will design and execute a comprehensive development strategy to support the mission, programs, and long-term sustainability, and you will manage a high-performing philanthropy team. You will cultivate major gifts, engage the board, supervise grant development, manage budgets, and use data to measure impact.

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.
