Chief of Staff

The Just Trust seeks to hire an experienced Director of Development to oversee and lead all primary aspects of fundraising for our organization's growth and long-term sustainability. This role will report to our Chief Innovation Officer and will work closely with the CEO and Board to leverage our $350M seed investment from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and build an ideologically diverse community of philanthropic leaders and organizations who want to work together toward measurable impact on public safety innovation and responsible, durable justice reform for the next 20 years.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned fundraising professional who has experience with diverse fundraising strategies, strong relationships with a broad range of donors, and a proven track record of raising funds from both U/HNW individuals and foundations. Our candidate is highly proficient in relationship cultivation, ongoing donor engagement, and cross-functional collaboration as it relates to nurturing a culture of philanthropy within our organization. They are skilled at leveraging our many organizational assets for fundraising including: criminal justice reform issue expertise and knowledge of the political and field landscape, compliance and grants management excellence, measuring impact and programmatic evaluation, strategic communications, and our people (notable Board members and Leadership.) They are excited to help our organization move from a single, large funder, to a true philanthropic intermediary where we are engaging, activating, and learning from the shared wisdom of a diverse community of donors who, like us, see a pathway to durable and responsible change in the criminal justice system. The ideal candidate is excited by the idea of working on a small, hard working team focused on a big vision, aware of and constantly monitoring challenges, and not afraid to get their hands dirty and get work done. They will also work closely with Marketing and Communications to strengthen narrative and messaging with key stakeholders. Most importantly, the Director of Development will have the adaptability to be able to work with an ideologically diverse pool of major donors (UHNW and HNW).
