Solicit current AIPAC donors to fulfill their political commitments on behalf of pro-Israel candidates and Members of Congress
Meet quarterly and annual retention, upgrade and acquisition goals for pro-Israel politics and AIPAC
Identify, recruit and develop lay leadership for local political leadership roles
Provide timely political and policy updates that inform and inspire people to become more involved in pro-Israel politics and AIPAC
Maintain and update Salesforce CRM to ensure the most accurate and timely information is included including campaign projects and logging individual activities/communications, and meetings.

Qualifications/Skills:

Intense passion for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, as well as knowledge of issues related to Israel, the Middle East and American politics
A minimum of 5 years work experience in political fundraising/sales/fundraising or a related field with a successful track record of achieving and exceeding goals

Self-motivated and highly driven and able to work independently, in addition to working with your colleagues to meet goals and objectives
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Experience with Salesforce CRM, Outreach.io or other similar tools are a plus
Bachelor's degree preferred or commensurate experience
