🏢 About Slice Out Hunger

Slice Out Hunger is a unique nonprofit that turns America's pizza obsession into a force for good, raising funds and awareness to combat food insecurity. Founded by Scott Wiener, the organization has grown from a local NYC event to a nationally recognized movement, especially after the pandemic, making it an exciting time to join a team that's making a tangible impact.

About This Role

As the Development & Strategic Partnerships Manager, you'll be the driving force behind expanding Slice Out Hunger's reach and impact by cultivating relationships with corporate partners, donors, and other stakeholders. Your work will directly support innovative fundraising campaigns and strategic initiatives that fuel the organization's growth and mission.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a virtual check-in with the Director of Operations, followed by researching potential corporate partners and drafting outreach emails. You might have a video call with a pizza shop owner about a fundraising collaboration, then spend time preparing a partnership proposal or analyzing the impact of recent campaigns. Later, you could be scheduling a flight for an upcoming event or donor meeting, balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution.
