Development Director, Gender Justice Nonprofit (remote)

UltraViolet (UV) is hiring a Development Director to oversee
fundraising plans across our 501c3, 501c4, and SuperPAC to advance
feminist political and cultural change. The Development Director is
responsible for raising the annual revenue for UltraViolet ($5M
across all entities for FY24) by maintaining the development
systems, managing the development team staff, and representing UV
publicly and in meetings with our donors and funders.

About UltraViolet:

Since 2012, UltraViolet has been the premier national
organization advocating for gender justice issues using creative,
strategic campaigning and digital-first organizing. UltraViolet
drives feminist cultural and political change by exposing the white
supremacist patriarchy and creating the conditions for a more just
and equitable world for all.

Together with our more than 1.2 million members, we have taken
over 17 million actions driving feminist cultural and political
change. UltraViolet members have taken down major misogynists from
Bill O’Reilly and Harvey Weinstein to Roger Ailes and Rick Ross,
led the fight nationwide to combat racist and sexist disinformation
during the 2020 election, campaigned for justice for women of color
murdered by law enforcement, forced TikTok to include deadnaming
and misogyny in its hate speech policies, and more. 

We work across a broad spectrum of interconnected issues that
impact the lives of women, girls, and gender-expansive people,
including gender-based violence, disinformation, health care,
economic security, reproductive rights, and racial justice. In all
of our work, we center frontline communities disparately impacted
by sexist policies and practices, especially Black women,
Indigenous women, women of color, people with disabilities,
low-income women, immigrants, survivors, and LGBTQ+ people.

If fighting for a world beyond white supremacist patriarchy–a
world where all people can thrive with freedom and dignity–ignites
your passion, then UltraViolet is the organization for
you!
