Jacob’s Pillow, an international center for dance presenting the largest, longest-running and most comprehensive dance festival in the United States, seeks a dynamic, experienced Director of Development to lead a Board and staff fundraising team in support of the Pillow’s $5m annual budget and recent strategic plan. Hailed as “the hub and mecca for dancing in North America” (Time) and “the dance center of the nation, possibly the world” (The New York Times), Jacob’s Pillow draws an annual audience of over 80,000 patrons to its 163-acre National Historic Landmark grounds in the culture-rich Berkshires, where it presents over 300 performance and engagement events each season and supports extensive School, Archives, Creative Development Residency, and Community Program activities. A cultural, tourism and dance artists’ destination, The Pillow celebrates its 80th Anniversary in 2012.

 

The Director of Development will be an accomplished senior executive with a strong track record in strategic fundraising, major gifts, capital campaigns, and staff management. This energetic self-starter will join a deficit-free institution and a well-established, high-performing senior management team led by Executive Director, Ella Baff. Competitive compensation and benefits package.
