years. PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ANYONE YOU
THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED.

festival and production collective based
in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1997,
Rooftop Films is a grassroots group that has
grown into one of New York's leading film organizations.
Above all, we are a community -- a collective

THE POSITION - DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Rooftop Films has grown tremendously over
the last few years, and we are now looking for a Development
Director to take a creative role in ambitiously
expanding our budget in the coming years.
The Development Director will work
closely with the artistic staff and our
dedicated Board of Directors to increase and maintain
the budget, forge connections with individual donors,
sponsors and grants organizations, and help
shape the future of the organization.
This is a flexible, creative position,
employing a variety of skills.
Applicants can come from the non-profit
or for-profit worlds and will have the
opportunity to work in a number of areas,
including grants, donations, sponsors and
business management. Applicants must have the
ability to shape their own job.
Due to budget constraints, the salary is
not large and hence the job can be
part-time. The atmosphere is exciting and
creative, and there is tremendous room
for growth, both for the Development Director
and for the organization as a whole. One of the goals
of the job will be to raise the salary levels for
the entire staff, including the Development
Director.
The person in this position must possess
excellent organizational skills, writing
skills, verbal communication skills,
flexibility, and the ability to work collaboratively
with internal staff and external constituencies at
all levels.
HOW TO APPLY
We recommend you look over our website
www.rooftopfilms.com thoroughly and learn
about our organization. Then send a
resume, references, and a cover letter to:
Mark Rosenberg at (address suppressed)
Applications must be received by Monday,
September 18.
NO PHONE CALLS OR FOLLOW UP EMAILS PLEASE.
Your cover letter should explain why you
want this job, what you think you bring
to the job, and what your vision for the
job is. Be honest. The pay is relatively
modest for a rather challenging job, but
for qualified candidates we are absolutely willing
to be flexible with scheduling and salary structures.
Receipt of applications will be
acknowledged via email. Interviews will
be conducted in mid-September, and the
position will begin in October. Not all applicants
will receive interviews.
