Sustainable Agriculture and Food System Funders

SAFSF is Hiring for Two Positions

SAFSF recognizes that diversity of perspective, lived experience, and professional and personal skills among our staff, leadership, and membership is critical to our success as an organization. Successful candidates for the Member and Strategic Partnerships Manager and the Program Associate positions will be dedicated to SAFSF’s core values – collaboration, equity, respect, stewardship, and integrity.
 
SAFSF seeks a full-time Member and Strategic Partnerships Manager to support, mobilize, and expand SAFSF’s membership and secure new revenue in support of our strategic direction. The Manager will work alongside other staff to foster relationships with current SAFSF members; increase awareness and usage of SAFSF’s services, benefits, resources, and programs; and ensure that a culture of service to members is preserved and promoted throughout SAFSF. Working to expand and increase SAFSF’s already diverse revenue stream (which includes membership dues, project support and general operating grants, event sponsorships, and event registration fees), the Member and Strategic Partnerships Manager will work closely with SAFSF’s broad and diverse membership, as well as its leadership committees, and report to the Executive Director. Location for this position is flexible.
 
Short Candidate Profile: A strong candidate for the Member and Strategic Partnerships Manager position is a professional with a proven track record who will excel at fostering relationships across a broad cross-section of partners, understand that fundraising is about more than just dollars, and be genuinely interested in people and their ideas. The candidate’s excellent written and oral communication, project planning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills reflect a strong intellect, intuition, and sense of humor. The Manager will demonstrate dedication to the values promoted by SAFSF: equity, collaboration, respect, stewardship, and integrity.
