Director of Resource Development

BACKGROUND
Save a Child’s Heart is an Israeli humanitarian organization, working internationally to save the lives of children from countries where access to pediatric heart care is limited or nonexistent. Founded in 1995 and based at the Sylvan Adams Children's Hospital, Save a Child’s Heart has saved the lives of more than 8,000 children from 75 countries and has brought more than 170 local healthcare professionals to Israel for training so they can treat their own children independently and create centers of excellence in their home countries. Our core value is Tikkun Olam - doing good to repair the world and believing that every child deserves the best medical care, regardless of race, religion, gender, nationality or financial status.

What we are looking for:
The ideal candidate is an experienced resource development professional with a proven record in raising funds through various avenues and who truly enjoys the challenge of the field. You are a team player who is both a strategic and an independent thinker, someone who knows how to initiate a process towards a goal and see it through to completion with resilience and creativity. As an excellent networker with great communication and presentation skills, you create relationships and connect people with the cause. You are a multitasker who isn't easily deterred by multiple projects, targets, or setbacks; instead, you remain calm and collective, acting as a natural problem-solver even under pressure. Above all, you are a leader who can guide a team to success and who identifies deeply with the value and mission of the organization.
