J Street organizes pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy Americans to promote US policies that align with Jewish and democratic values, that help secure the State of Israel as a just, democratic homeland for the Jewish people, and that advance freedom, safety and self-determination for the Palestinian people.

J Street focuses its work in three main areas: advocating and demonstrating support for pro-Israel, pro‑peace, pro‑democracy policies in Congress, the media, and the Jewish community; endorsing and supporting federal candidates who share J Street's agenda; and educating the public and raising awareness of the need for a lasting peace that ensures security, dignity, and self‑determination for Israelis and Palestinians.

• Impactful – We act with intention and measure success by the progress we make and the change we help bring about.
• Adaptable – We treat every challenge as an invitation to think creatively and find a better path forward.
• Aligned – We are united by shared principles and an unwavering commitment to our mission.

This is a moment of real consequence for J Street — and for the issues we work on. The debate over Israel‑Palestine in Congress, in the Jewish community, and in American politics is shifting, and J Street is at the center of that shift. Over the past five years, we have doubled our budget and dramatically expanded our reach. We're looking for two talented professionals who are ready to grow with J Street as we step into our next chapter and help shape what that chapter looks like.

Ideal candidates will bring a passion for fundraising, deep relationships in the Jewish community, and a strong understanding of the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict and how it plays out in American politics.

The ARD/DRD is responsible for growing J Street's leadership ranks, raising operating and political funds, and advancing our pro‑Israel, pro‑peace, pro‑democracy agenda across your region. Your work falls into three main areas:

• Cultivate and manage relationships with existing donors, with an eye toward maintaining and growing their support.
• Identify new funding sources through prospect research.
• Plan and execute high‑impact donor events that raise funds and expand J Street's network.

• Develop and steward 1+ chapters in your region, with an annual plan developed alongside chapter leaders.
• Create programming that makes chapters a genuine home for the broader J Street community.

• Identify, develop, and empower lay leaders in key cities across your region.
• Build relationships between J Street and rabbis, communal and political influentials, donors, and activists.
• Maintain accurate and current regional data.

• A strong commitment to J Street's mission, including support for a secure, Jewish and democratic future for Israel and an active US role in resolving the Israeli‑Palestinian conflict diplomatically.
• At least 4 years of relevant professional experience.
• Demonstrated ability to build and cultivate relationships with a wide range of community contacts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly represent J Street's positions.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and work both independently and as part of a team.
• Willingness to travel regionally; the NY/Florida role requires quarterly travel to Florida.
• Valid driver's license.

• Experience in fundraising, development, or making financial asks.
• Background in community or political organizing.
• Familiarity with the region and its congressional delegations.
• Prior work in the Jewish community.
• Experience managing events and donor data.
