Vice President of Development
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
Washington, D.C.
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (Wilson Center) is the official memorial chartered by Congress to honor our nation’s 28th President. It is the nation’s key non-partisan policy forum for tackling global issues through independent research and open dialogue to inform actionable ideas for Congress, the Administration and the broader international policy community.

The Wilson Center operates in real time and is eager for the Vice President of Development (VP) to be on board as soon as possible and ideally by February 2019.
The VP must be savvy, hardworking and tenacious in order to enhance the culture of philanthropy. While this just may be the most challenging job you’ve ever had, your time at the Wilson Center will likely be the most rewarding as well.
