Who You Are
Required
5+ years in community organizing, Jewish communal work, youth engagement, or another relationship-driven role.
Sales, fundraising, or business development experience — you have carried a target and hit it consistently. We are open to varied sector sales and fundraising experience, it does not have to be non-profit or philanthropy but you must have the experience.
Entrepreneurial and self-directed. You have built something where there wasn’t much, You take the initiative and run your own calendar, you would rather build than maintain.
You communicate concisely and transparently to the management team about your activities and execution.
Demonstrated success building programming for teens or young adults.
Deep alignment with Club Z’s mission: Jewish identity first, Zionist grounding, and the confidence that follows from both.
A strong public speaker — equally comfortable in a living room and on a stage.
Based in Los Angeles. Strong preference for a true Angeleno — someone who knows this community from the inside: its schools, its synagogues, its institutions, and its families.
Willing to work evenings and weekends as programming requires, and to travel statewide and nationally two to three times a year.
Helpful, not required
Experience managing junior staff.
CRM or donor database fluency.
Content creation and social media skills.
Logistics & Compensation
Reports to the Chief Operating Officer but works closely with and at the direction of both the Chief Development Officer and Chief Executive Officer. Full-time and exempt, based in Los Angeles and working in the community. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.
This role sets its own schedule. There are no set office hours — some weeks include evening and weekend programming, and in exchange your weekdays are largely yours to shape. What we ask in return is transparency and visibility: a current calendar, activity logged in our systems, and regular communication and check-ins. We measure results and impact, not hours.
