Careers

Join Our Growing Fundraising Team!

At WUSF Public Media, our mission is to enrich the mind and inspire curiosity through trusted journalism, classical music, and cultural programming. To help advance that mission, we’re growing our fundraising team and seeking two Assistant Directors of Development to join us.

Under the leadership of the Senior Director of Development, these roles will work closely together to advance our Leadership Annual Giving programs, engaging donors who are deeply committed to public media and its impact in our region. We’re especially excited to connect with high‑energy fundraisers who love public radio and thrive on building meaningful donor relationships.

The Opportunities
Both positions are hands‑on fundraising roles and offer the chance to make a real impact. While the job descriptions are aligned, the focus of each role will differ slightly:

One position will take a lead role in managing and advancing WUSF’s Leadership Giving programs, including donor engagement strategies and some direct solicitation.

The second position will focus primarily on frontline fundraising—meeting with donors, managing relationships, and connecting supporters directly to WUSF’s public service mission.

Together, these roles are essential to strengthening the philanthropic partnerships that sustain WUSF and Classical WSMR.

Why WUSF?
You’ll be part of a collaborative, supportive development team that values curiosity, initiative, and shared purpose. Our fundraisers work closely with colleagues across WUSF and the USF Foundation and take pride in supporting public media that serves as a trusted resource for our community.

If you’re energized by relationship‑based fundraising, believe in the power of public media, and are looking to grow your development career in a mission‑driven environment, we’d love to hear from you.
