Feminist Job Description

Job Title:

Development Associate

Organization:

The Feminist Press at the City University of New York

Region:

East Coast

Description:

The Feminist Press is seeking a Development Associate who will work with the Executive Director and the Development Manager to build a widening group of readers and supporters, especially among new generations of feminists. At a time of exciting and challenging changes in the industry, this position also offers the opportunity for the fellow to participate in the creative and strategic thinking that will help the Feminist Press adapt to new digital publishing technologies, and will provide skills that can be used across a broad range of industries and career paths. Because the Feminist Press is an independent publisher with a small staff, there is a great deal of shared decision-making, and the fellowship offers the opportunity to participate in areas outside the position description, such as publicity, marketing, and design.

At the end of two years the Development Associate should have a strong foundation in several areas:
fundraising, grant writing, marketing outreach in general and social media outreach in particular, digital technologies, building communities of supporters, and knowledge of how to create a development campaign from start to finish. In addition, he or she will gain knowledge about sales, design, and publicity. The Development Associate will attend conferences, work directly with the Feminist Press board to encourage them to participate in campaigns, and will accompany the Executive Director and the Development Manager to select meetings with donors, learning the intricacies of direct fundraising.
