 THE ORGANIZATION
                             Rooftop Films is a non-profit film

in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 1997,
Rooftop Films is a grassroots group that has

 Our work includes:

                             + Rooftop Filmmakers' Fund (grants for filmmakers)
                             + Rooftop Films Production Collective

                             + The Companion Guide to Rooftop Films magazine

 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.

                             Rooftop Films is an equal opportunity
employer, and strongly encourages women
and people of color to apply.
