Director of Annual Campaign- Tulsa

Director of Annual Campaign

Jewish Tulsa is the central address for Jewish life in Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma. Through the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, the Charles Schusterman Jewish Community Center, the Tulsa Jewish Community Foundation, and the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art, we serve our community through education, culture, philanthropy, security, Israel engagement, advocacy, programming, and care.

The Director of Annual Campaign will lead Jewish Tulsa's annual campaign efforts and help strengthen the culture of philanthropy across the organization. This person will work closely with the Executive Director, Senior Director of Strategic Philanthropy, Campaign Chair, board members, volunteers, donors, and community leaders to grow the annual campaign, deepen donor relationships, and connect people to the mission and impact of Jewish Tulsa.

The right candidate will understand that fundraising is not primarily about asking people for money. It is about listening carefully, building trust, telling the truth about what is needed, and helping people participate in something larger than themselves.

You are warm, curious, and relationship-driven. You like people. You remember details. You can sit with a major donor, a young parent, a board member, a volunteer, or a first-time visitor and make each of them feel seen. You are organized without being rigid. You can manage a plan, track a deadline, and follow through on a promise. You are comfortable making an ask, but you do not treat donors like transactions.

You believe Jewish life matters. You understand, or are eager to understand, why the post-October 7 world demands stronger, prouder, and more connected Jewish communities. You are excited by the idea of helping build something that could become a model for others. You are not looking for a sleepy institutional job. You are looking for meaningful work with real stakes.

Experience in fundraising, nonprofit development, sales, community engagement, Jewish communal work, public affairs, or a related field. Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Comfort meeting with donors and asking for philanthropic support. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail. Ability to manage multiple relationships, projects, and deadlines erience working with volunteers, boards, or lay leaders preferred.

Familiarity with donor databases or CRM systems preferred. Commitment to Jewish life, Jewish peoplehood, Israel, and the mission of Jewish Tulsa. Ability to work occasional evenings and Sundays for donor meetings, programs, and community events.

In this role, success means the annual campaign grows — but not only that. It means more donors feel connected to Jewish Tulsa. It means volunteers feel equipped and inspired. It means giving becomes more joyful, more intentional, and more deeply tied to impact. It means people understand that Jewish Tulsa is not simply asking them to support an institution. We are inviting them to help build the Jewish future.

Compensation will be commensurate with experience. Jewish Tulsa offers a competitive benefits package, a meaningful work environment, and the opportunity to help shape one of the most exciting Jewish communities in the country.
