Job Opening: Bay Area Director of Development role at Juma Ventures
Maris Tong
Juma Ventures strives to break the cycle of poverty by paving the way to work, education, and financial capability for youth across America. Founded in 1993 with a single Ben & Jerry’s Shop in San Francisco, Juma’s initial business venture, a social enterprise, was designed to give homeless youth the training and job experience they needed to transition from living on the streets to enjoying a stable adulthood. Since then, Juma has become a nationally recognized youth development organization focused on employment, financial capability, and career-supportive services.
Juma is seeking an experienced fundraiser and nonprofit leader to help fuel its mission in the San Francisco Bay Area. Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the Bay Area Director of Development will play a critical role in Juma’s impact on the young people it serves across two regional sites in San Francisco and San Jose, California. They will, individually and in conjunction with the national and regional development teams, help sustain and grow Juma’s local base of philanthropic support. This position requires exceptional drive and passion for our work and a commitment to working in partnership with local philanthropic communities. You’ll be a strategic fundraiser with outstanding donor cultivation and stewardship skills. You will also work independently and collaboratively, showing resourcefulness, flexibility, and professionalism. The San Francisco Bay Area Director of Development will also support partnership development across Juma’s social enterprise and youth programming activities, serving as a senior leader for the San Francisco and San Jose Site teams.
