  • 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
  • Exceptional people skills and the ability to form close, personal relationships with current and prospective AIPAC members
  • Work efficiently under pressure; meet deadlines; demonstrate strategic thinking and good decision-making, as well as an entrepreneurial spirit
  • An understanding and appreciation for AIPAC's bipartisan, single-issue approach
  • 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
