Deputy Director of Development

The Center for Public Integrity is a non-profit, non-partisan investigative journalism organization. Its mission is national and international reporting that holds institutions and governments accountable.

The state of journalism today makes this a unique opportunity as donors are concerned about the loss of watchdog journalism and its role in exposing significant institutional or individual abuse of power, corruption, or wrongdoing that is detrimental to the public interest.

We are looking for a deputy director of development who will work closely with our development director to oversee all aspects of the Center’s funding programs with particular emphasis on online giving, direct marketing, and events planning.

The successful candidate should have three to five years of progressively responsible experience in and understanding of all aspects of development. He or she should have been an integral part of a larger development operation and be prepared to directly oversee online giving, direct marketing, and the cultivation and maintenance of the Center’s membership donor base. Proficiency with Raiser’s Edge, Convio, or comparable databases/CRMs is essential. In addition, he or she will work with a small Board/staff project team to plan the Center’s 20th Anniversary benefit, which is scheduled for October 2010.

The development department is an integral part of the Center’s editorial processes, which include media, public relations, outreach, and the web. This position will take part in daily editorial meetings and meet with the senior team and other managers on a monthly basis.

We are located in Washington, DC at Farragut Square with easy access to the blue, orange, and red lines. Salary is negotiable with an excellent benefits package.

The Center is committed to a diverse workplace.
