In conjunction with the rest of the team (Executive Director, Executive and Senior Producers), the Development Director will manage and oversee all aspects of Radio Ambulante’s fundraising strategy. Responsibilities will include identifying and soliciting funds from individual donors, maintaining relationships with past donors, researching and writing grants that can support the work of Radio Ambulante, and leading the organization of fundraising events in the Bay Area and beyond.

ABOUT RADIO AMBULANTE:
We are a Spanish language journalism and storytelling project based in San Francisco, CA, with partners throughout Latin America.

We are currently in our pilot season. The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting serves as our fiscal agent, and KALW Public Radio 91.7 in San Francisco serves as our home station.
We are offering a starting salary of $2,500 month, with two months guaranteed, after which the Development Director will be expected to raise his or her own wages, in addition to operating costs for Radio Ambulante.
