About the Role

The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County is seeking a strategic, results-driven, and relationship-focused Associate Vice President, Major Gifts to elevate our culture of philanthropy and deepen engagement with our most generous supporters.

  • Conduct face-to-face solicitations and deliver personalized stewardship that strengthens relationships and increases philanthropic support across multiple campaigns.

Strategic Growth & Pipeline Development

  • Partner with development leadership to implement data-informed strategies that build a robust pipeline of future major donors.
  • Collaborate cross-departmentally to ensure high-quality donor experiences and maximize overall philanthropic outcomes.
  • Events & Donor Engagement

  • Help design and actively participate in high-impact events, meetings, and missions that bring donors closer to the Federation’s mission and demonstrate community impact.
  • Work alongside lay leaders, volunteers, and professional staff to leverage community networks and deepen donor relationships.
  • Maintain detailed donor records in the CRM system and regularly report on key fundraising metrics, including retention, upgrades, and new donor acquisition.
  • 7+ years of nonprofit fundraising or relationship management experience, with a strong emphasis on major gifts.
  • A proven track record of securing gifts of $10,000+.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build authentic relationships.
  • A deep passion for Jewish values, community, and philanthropy.
  • Experience using donor management systems such as Raiser’s Edge or Salesforce.
  • A self-motivated, organized approach with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Why You Should Work Here

    We believe meaningful work begins in a supportive, mission-driven environment. When you join the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, you become part of a collaborative team committed to making a real and lasting difference. You’ll enjoy :

  • Competitive salary range of $140,000 – $150,000.

  • Generous paid time off, including all major Jewish holidays.
