Director, Real Estate and Financial Services

ManagementFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real specific content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve substantive info. Let's parse the posting. Overview: description of organization and culture. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Overview". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings. We have sections: Overview (organization description), Position Summary (role description), Essential Job Duties (list of duties), Volunteer & Lay Leadership Engagement (part of duties), Events & Programming, Collaboration & Communication, Leadership, Reporting & Administration, Lay Leadership (maybe part of duties), Key Performance Indicators (metrics), Qualifications (education, experience), Job Qualities (soft skills), Benefits (list), Compensation is commensurate with experience (but we should not create Pay section if only says commensurate with experience, which is placeholder; we should not include Pay section). Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; there is occasional travel, evening and Sunday work required, early dismissal for Shabbat. That's schedule info? Could be considered schedule but not explicit; we might include Schedule if there is specific content: early dismissal for Shabbat, occasional evening and Sunday work. That is schedule-related. However instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Benefits are stated: Medical, Dental, Vision, Early dismissal for Shabbat, 403b with employer matching, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, FSA, Jewish and Federal paid holidays, sick days and vacation. So Benefits section is valid. Schedule: we have early dismissal for Shabbat, occasional evening and Sunday work required. That's schedule info. Should we create a Schedule section? The posting mentions "Ability to travel locally required. Occasional international travel to Israel as well as evening and working on Sunday required." Also "Early dismissal for Shabbat" is in Benefits but also schedule. It might be appropriate to include Schedule section with those details. However we must not create Schedule section if content is just "varies" etc. Here we have specific schedule details: early dismissal for Shabbat, occasional evening and Sunday work. So we can include Schedule. Pay: only says "Compensation is commensurate with experience." That's placeholder; we should not create Pay section. Now we need to decide headings: About the role (maybe overview + position summary). Responsibilities (essential job duties). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Qualifications (maybe education/experience). Skills (maybe job qualities). Benefits (list). Schedule (specific schedule details). We should not duplicate. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract content. About the role: Could combine overview and position summary. Overview: "Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) is a fundraising organization transforming the lives of the men and women of the IDF - Israel’s future leaders and society builders. We are fast-paced, big-thinking, and performance-driven, and attract the brightest and most passionate who are professionally driven, personally motivated, and eager to make an impact. Whether energized by making a difference in the lives of Israel’s soldiers, wounded veterans, and bereaved families, or by providing hope and life-changing support to a population of diverse ethnicities, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds, FIDF is for you!" Position Summary: "FIDF is currently seeking a full-time Director for Real Estate and Financial Services, reporting to the VP, Northeast Region to support and expand the strategies to grow the donor base in sub-markets of the community; including Real Estate Professionals, Financial Services Sector, and others. The focus of this job is making connections with people, motivating and inspiring them to achieve fundraising results. Poise and an engaging, empathetic communication style based on natural warmth and enthusiasm is the key to achieving the goals of this job. The work involves driving toward results by enrolling the commitment and buy-in of others, both colleagues and local Board members. While the job requires strong initiative and self-direction, results are only achieved with and through people; and built by fundraising through individuals, Foundations and Planned Giving. This role has variety of tasks and is dynamic and changing; and requires regularly meeting and pro-actively establishing relationships with existing and new groups. The ability to understand, quickly react and motivate others to adapt to the changing organization environment is a critical key to success." We can combine into About the role paragraph(s). Responsibilities: Essential Job Duties broken into categories. We can list as
  • items. Need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract bullet points. From Essential Job Duties: - Leadership & Fundraising Strategy Across Real Estate and Financial Services * Work with the team to lead, develop, implement, and manage short- and long-term giving goals and strategies for the Real Estate and Financial Services groups in alignment with FIDF’s mission and fundraising priorities. * Create annual work plans, set measurable goals, and implement donor stewardship strategies in accordance with expectations set by manager(s) and the national team. * Support and help advance potential Real Estate and Financial Services mission to Israel as a part of engagement and fundraising strategy. * Achieve assigned fundraising and engagement goals through donor cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship. - Donor Relations & Prospect Management * Serve as the primary relationship manager for an assigned portfolio of donors. * Research, identify, and develop new prospects; cultivate and steward donors at all giving levels. * Design and implement customized stewardship plans, including donor recognition and engagement activities. * Maintain accurate prospect and donor information using FIDF’s prospect management database. - Volunteer & Lay Leadership Engagement * Identify, recruit, and partner with lay leaders, organizations, businesses, and firms to strengthen the Affinity Groups’ initiatives. * Build community support for FIDF by maintaining relationships with partner organizations, businesses, and individuals. * Work closely with volunteer leadership to support peer-to-peer fundraising and engagement efforts. - Events & Programming * Coordinate and support regional events, including Real Estate and Financial Services dinners, parlor meetings and community events. * Manage the planning and implementation of special events focused on donor recognition, stewardship, and fundraising. * Create and maintain an annual calendar of Real Estate and Financial Services events. * Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure events align with FIDF branding, messaging, and operational standards. - Collaboration & Communication * Work effectively with FIDF colleagues across National departments and Northeast Regional staff to provide support and value to the team. * Collaborate on campaign-related materials, including donor communications, billing, acknowledgments, and event materials, ensuring accuracy and consistency of messaging. * Represent FIDF professionally at events and community engagements. - Leadership, Reporting & Administration * Mentor, train, and support the professional development of direct report(s). * Provide requested reports and updates; collaborate closely with manager(s) and the regional team on progress and strategy. * Ensure compliance with FIDF policies, procedures, and development best practices. * Assume other responsibilities as requested. - Lay Leadership * Maintain clear, consistent communication with lay leaders, ensuring they have the information and support needed for Real Estate and Financial Services success. * Create/partner a local Board which will serve as a key resource in donor/prospect cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship efforts. * Provide timely, accurate reporting to the Regional Vice President and lay leaders to support strategic decision-making. * Have a sincere and genuine commitment to FIDF’s mission - supporting the soldiers, families, and veterans of the Israel Defense Forces - is essential to success in this role. We could combine some but keep as list items. Requirements: maybe "Qualifications" heading for education/experience. But we also have "Qualifications" heading separate from "Skills". The instruction list includes both Qualifications and Skills. We need to decide what goes where. Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college/university. Minimum 5-7 years sales or fundraising experience. History of successfully generating new revenue streams and improving fundraising results. Understanding of local Jewish community. Excellent written, oral, and communication skills. Knowledge of Microsoft Office 365 applications required and experience using CRM tools, with Raisers Edge experience preferred. Ability to travel locally required. Occasional international travel to Israel as well as evening and working on Sunday required. Skills: Job Qualities: Manage multiple initiatives occurring simultaneously. Sense of urgency for goal achievement within a fast-paced environment. High focus on people and relationships. Enthusiastic communicator, persuasive “selling” style through a collaborative approach. Leadership based on ability to motivate others. Strong commitment to results. Delegate authority readily. Also Key Performance Indicators could be under Responsibilities or separate? Could be its own section but not in prescribed headings. We could incorporate into Responsibilities as list items. We must not create headings not in list unless we have real content; but we can add extra headings if needed? The instruction: "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should likely stick to those. It says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we can use those headings only. We should not create other headings like "Key Performance Indicators". We could embed KPIs under Responsibilities or maybe under Qualifications? Probably under Responsibilities as part of goals. Thus we will produce sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. Let's craft each. About the role: combine overview and position summary into maybe two paragraphs. Responsibilities: list of duties as
    • . Include all bullet points from Essential Job Duties, Volunteer & Lay Leadership Engagement, Events & Programming, Collaboration & Communication, Leadership, Reporting & Administration, Lay Leadership. Also include KPI items? Could add as separate li: "Develop and maintain approximately 120 portfolio donor relationships." etc. Those are KPIs; they are substantive. We'll include them under Responsibilities as well. Requirements: maybe minimal? Actually we have Qualifications heading for education/experience; Requirements could be something else like "Ability to travel locally required." but that's also in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could treat Requirements as "Ability to travel locally required. Occasional international travel to Israel as well as evening and working on Sunday required." But those are also in Qualifications. Might be better to put all under Qualifications and leave Requirements empty? But we must not create a heading without real content. So we need to decide which heading to use for which content. We have both Qualifications and Skills headings. We can put education/experience under Qualifications, and personal attributes under Skills. Requirements maybe we can omit if no distinct content. But we have "Ability to travel locally required. Occasional international travel to Israel as well as evening and working on Sunday required." That could be considered Requirements (travel). However it's also under Qualifications. We could place travel under Requirements and keep Qualifications for education/experience/skills like knowledge of MS Office, CRM, Raisers Edge, understanding of local Jewish community, etc. Let's see. Qualifications list: Bachelor’s Degree, Minimum 5-7 years sales or fundraising experience, History of successfully generating new revenue streams and improving fundraising results, Understanding of local Jewish community, Excellent written, oral, and communication skills, Knowledge of Microsoft Office 365 applications required and experience using CRM tools, with Raisers Edge experience preferred. Requirements: Ability to travel locally required. Occasional international travel to Israel as well as evening and working on Sunday required. Skills: Job Qualities list. That seems reasonable and avoids duplication. Now Benefits: list as given. Schedule:
