Development Coordinator

Want to make cancer suck less – and actually enjoy doing it? Stupid Cancer is on the hunt for a bold, results-driven Development Coordinator to help us level up our impact. If you're passionate about making a real difference in the lives of millions of young adults affected by cancer, and you thrive in a fast-moving, no-drama environment, read on.

Reporting to the Managing Director of Development, the Development Coordinator will manage a wide variety of responsibilities across the fundraising channels of Stupid Cancer and will work to drive revenue growth, assist the Managing Director of Development (MDD) in developing and executing a comprehensive annual development plan and serve as a thought partner with the MDD on growth strategies.

The Stupid Cancer team reports to our New York City headquarters at least two days a week. Only candidates in the NYC area will be considered.

If you're a creative thinker, master relationship-builder, and love a challenge with purpose-this job's for you.

Founded in 2007, Stupid Cancer is the leader in building the adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer community, ending isolation, and making cancer suck less. We help the nearly 90,000 AYAs diagnosed each year and the 2million+ living in survivorship fight isolation and advocate for a better quality of life. Our cornerstone event, Cancer Con, brings AYAs together at the largest gathering of this community for a life-changing weekend.

We are not afraid to talk about all the good and the bad that comes along with AYA cancer, from finances and work, to sex and relationships. Want to see our impact? Check this out !
