We are looking for an Executive Director who will transform the scale of resources generated in the US towards our global work. Fully integrated with our team in London, the Executive Director will lead on fundraising, representation and networking across the US primarily targeting high net worth individuals, trusts and foundations. In 2024 World Jewish Relief USA raised almost $2m. Our ambition is to be doubling that each year in the years ahead.

Our ideal candidate will be an ambitious, passionate and capable executive who can bring leadership, determination and clarity of purpose to this exciting charity presence in the US.

You will have outstanding relationship and partnership building skills together with the confidence to network amongst high-net-worth individuals. Leadership and representation experience is essential as is the capability to ask. A track record of accomplishments with high-net-worth individuals, trusts and foundations would be helpful together with a deep understanding of Jewish philanthropy.

You will have a hands-on approach in helping to lead and run the 501(c)3, be confident to speak publicly about our work and capable of building strong relationships with key supporters, organisations and communities. We will help you to build a deep understanding of our work, ensure that you have seen what we do in some of the most complex operating environments and inspire you to help us transform the lives of thousands of individuals.

To apply you will need to send a resume of no more than three pages, and a personal statement of up to two pages, highlighting how your experience fits the requirements of the role. Please email these to Adam Leigh, Partner at HBAL Executive Search adam@hballondon.com
