Job Title: Development Officer
Position: Salaried, Full Time, Exempt
Reports to: Director of Development
Location: Pasadena, CA, & Remote Flexible
Salary Range: $80,000-$90,000
POSITION OVERVIEW:
In a moment when immigrant workers are being targeted, when enforcement expands beyond day labor corners into neighborhoods and workplaces, and when communities are organizing to defend one another — the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) is seeking a passionate and strategic Development Officer to help fuel this movement.
This is not simply a fundraising role. It is an opportunity to resource frontline defense, worker-led organizing, disaster recovery brigades, cultural resistance through music and art, and national campaigns like Adopt-a-Corner and the Immigrant Defense Fund. The Development Officer will play a critical role in helping translate the power of immigrant worker leadership into compelling narratives and sustainable revenue.
Working collaboratively within the Development Department, the Development Officer will help expand and deepen NDLON’s presence among philanthropic partners. This role will design, lead, and support innovative fundraising strategies that strengthen how we tell our story, build long-term partnerships, and inspire investment in immigrant justice.
Salary placement is commensurate with experience. NDLON offers a competitive and values-aligned benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; an employer-contributed IRA plan; and generous paid time off. The Development Officer reports directly to the Director of Development and joins a team that sees fundraising as an extension of organizing — rooted in relationship, strategy, and solidarity.
