• Associate Director of Development

  Job Title: Associate Director of Development

  Reports to: Director of Advancement

  Classification: Exempt

  Status: Full-Time

  
  
  Job Summary:

  The Emery/Weiner School (EWS) seeks an Associate Director of Development to support the mission of the School by developing and administering fundraising campaigns and events, building strong relationships with donors and prospective donors, and cultivating a strong base of philanthropic support in our community.

   

  The Emery/Weiner School is an independent, college-preparatory middle and high school that offers top-ranked academics, educates the whole student, and inculcates a unique student culture in an environment infused with pluralistic Judaism. Students carry with them the spirit of Tikkun Olam (“repairing the world”) as they pursue an education not only for their own benefit but also to help improve the world in which they live. Our academic program encompasses traditional and progressive methods. While we stress the development of traditional academic skills, we also engage in experiential learning outside the walls of the classroom. Our culture empowers students, instilling a sense of responsibility that extends to the outside community. The result is a learning partnership in which students feel a sense of ownership in the institution and — more importantly — graduate with a profound sense of self and moral self-reliance.
