About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director of Planned Giving to lead major and principal gift fundraising in support of institutional priorities. The role involves managing a portfolio of approximately 125 prospects and donors, building long-term relationships, and identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding significant gifts.

They will also partner with academic and organizational leaders, serve as the primary advancement liaison for an assigned unit, and coordinate fundraising strategies with colleagues. Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree; an advanced degree is preferred. At least eight years of progressively responsible fundraising experience is required, preferably in higher education, along with a record of securing six- and seven-figure gifts. Strong written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills, knowledge of major-gift strategies, and the ability to manage multiple priorities collaboratively are essential. Proficiency with Microsoft Office and experience using a donor CRM system are required; familiarity with the regional philanthropic landscape is preferred.
