Hillel International

Role Overview

Hillel International seeks a VP of Field Advancement Strategy and Operations to help campus Hillels raise more funds, develop strong lay leaders, and build sustainable advancement programs. Reporting to the Chief External Affairs Officer, this role will lead the team responsible for advancement and lay-leadership support to campus Hillels. They will set the strategy for this work, oversee its execution, and work directly with campus Hillels where their involvement can add value.

A central part of the role will be improving how Hillel International delivers fundraising support across the field. The VP of Field Advancement Strategy and Operations will identify common challenges, test new approaches, and build the systems, shared services, and partnerships needed to scale successful pilots. They will be responsible for the quality of support provided to individual Hillels and for creating more consistent, efficient, and measurable approaches across the movement. The VP of Field Advancement Strategy and Operations will work closely with Hillel International’s senior fundraising leaders and field partners to align local and central advancement efforts, build stronger donor pipelines, and increase philanthropic investment across the movement. This position is fully remote for eligible candidates based in the U.S.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and manage the team responsible for advancement field services, lay-leadership development, and shared advancement services.
  • Set the strategy and operating model for Hillel International’s advancement support to campus Hillels, translating priorities into clear plans, roles, and measures of success.
  • Advise and directly support campus Hillels on annual giving, major gifts, donor development, stewardship, campaigns, and advancement operations.
  • Help Hillels recruit, engage, and develop boards and other lay leaders who play meaningful roles in fundraising, governance, and organizational sustainability.
  • Oversee support for Hillels undertaking capital, endowment, comprehensive, and other major campaigns, as well as for Hillels whose limited fundraising capacity is constraining their growth or threatening their stability.
  • Identify common field needs and develop, test, and scale solutions—including shared staffing, advancement marketing, training, tools and technology, and external partnerships—that enable more Hillels to access high-quality support.
  • Partner with Hillel International’s senior fundraising leaders and field partners to build donor and prospect pipelines, connect prospects to campus Hillels, and bring forward opportunities from the field when appropriate to increase giving across the movement.
  • Set and track measures of success, including growth in annual field fundraising, campaign progress, results from turnaround support, lay-leader engagement, use of shared services, and the impact of scaled solutions.

What You’ve Accomplished

  • The ability to connect strategy and execution by setting a clear direction, building the systems that support it, and holding teams accountable for results.
  • An operational mindset and the ability to translate promising ideas into practical, sustainable services that can be used across the movement.
  • Strong judgment on when a Hillel needs direct support, when a shared solution is appropriate, and what is required to scale a successful pilot.
  • An understanding of the roles boards and lay leaders play in fundraising, governance, and long-term sustainability.
  • A collaborative approach to working with donors and prospects whose interests may include campus Hillels, Hillel International, or both.
  • The ability to build trust with campus executives, advancement professionals, board members, donors, and colleagues.
  • Strong analytical and financial skills and the ability to use data to inform decisions, set priorities, and measure results.
  • Excellent communication, coaching, facilitation, and relationship-building skills.
  • The ability to work within a network of independent organizations with different needs, resources, and community dynamics. Prior experience in a federated or chapter-based organization is helpful but not required.
  • Familiarity with Hillel or the Jewish communal sector is welcome but not required. A commitment to Hillel’s mission and respect for the diversity of Jewish life are essential.

What You’ll Receive

  • Competitive salary in the nonprofit marketplace. The salary range for this role is $165,000- $190,000.
  • A comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan, Life, AD&D, and Long-Term Disability insurance, Flexible Spending accounts, generous vacation and sick time, and parental leave.
