Director of Development [American Research Center in Egypt, Cairo, Egypt]

Description

They have trained over 750 Egyptian archaeologists and architectural conservators with the express purpose of helping them to preserve their own cultural heritage. Their institutional members are among the leading universities and museums in the world. They count the U.S. Congress and the Egyptian Ministry of State for Antiquities among their strongest supporters. And they’re seeking applications for a Director of Development in the U.S.

The American Research Center in Egypt is looking for someone who understands the importance of preserving the cultural heritage of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and who will work diligently to raise public awareness of and increase financial support for its mission. Where this person works is not important: ARCE is located in San Antonio, Texas, but the Director of Development will report to the Executive Director in Cairo and will travel across the U.S. and to Egypt to cultivate supporters. S/he’ll visit with members of the Egyptian diasporic community in New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, Texas; with American corporations working in Egypt; with anyone who wants to cultivate American-Egyptian ties and protect the heritage of one of the birthplaces of human civilization. ARCE is looking for someone who can take responsibility for every element of this process, from opening doors to corporate and foundation support, to tracking down communities of interested donors, to writing case statements and grant applications. Someone who can work well with archaeologists, art historians, university administrators—members of ARCE’s Board of Governors and those who are its individual and institutional members.
