The Strong Towns team and movement are growing, and we’re looking to hire a Development Associate to lead our fundraising with major donors, grants, and foundations.
This might be you if…
You’re passionate about the Strong Towns mission of helping communities across North America grow financially strong and resilient.
You’re not afraid to pick up the phone and call someone for an important conversation.
You love finessing a sentence or paragraph until you get the message just right.
You’re highly organized and deadline-oriented (in fact, you’re probably the person who keeps others on track so they don’t miss their deadlines).
You’re comfortable working from home and functioning independently—you might even prefer to work that way!
Our entire team collaborates digitally from locations around the country; there are no locational requirements for this position. We have periodic deadlines and occasional event-driven or calendar-driven demands, but generally keep a flexible schedule. We are an equal opportunity, family-friendly organization. Our work is rewarding and our organization is making a difference.
We’re holding a Q&A briefing on Tuesday, September 28 at 2 p.m. Central, where we will discuss this position and answer your questions. Sign up for the briefing here.
Application Schedule and Process
Talent comes from many places, even those where we might not think to look, and so we've created a process that is broad, inclusive, and as free of human bias as we can reasonably make possible. We're looking for the person with the right set of skills and approach. As such, our hiring process focuses on skills and approach.
We don't want to see your resume, or even know who you are, until we determine that your skills and approach might be a good fit for our team. If you mail us your resume, or contact us with your credentials, you'll be signaling to us that you are not a good fit for the way we work. Beyond that, we encourage anyone with an interest in this position—regardless of any other factor—to apply.
