Riders Alliance fights for reliable, affordable, world-class public transit in order to build a more just and sustainable New York. Since our founding in 2012, transit riders have become a powerful and recognized political constituency in New York City. Our members have identified the most pressing issues facing riders, organized their communities, and successfully lobbied elected officials to commit to ambitious agendas around improving public transit.
We are currently hiring a Fundraising Associate to help expand and engage our donor base. The Associate will help execute key elements of our annual fundraising plan including gift processing and acknowledgement, digital and mailed appeals, cultivation activities, merchandise sales, and an annual gala. We’re looking for a creative, collaborative, accountable project manager who can wrap their arms around logistics, tasks, and details while authentically connecting with members of our community of transit supporters. The Associate will report to and work closely with the Director of Fundraising and Operations.

Time commitment: Full-time, 40-hours a week (with some schedule flexibility). We are currently a hybrid office.
