About the Role

The Company is in search of a Chief Advancement Officer (CAO) to join their team. The CAO will be a key leader in the institution, responsible for setting the strategic and operational direction of all fundraising and alumni relations activities. This role demands a confident and capable fundraising leader who can build on the success of a historic campaign and help shape the institution's future. The successful candidate will be a strategic thought partner, an inspiring manager, and a hands-on fundraiser, with a focus on cultivating a culture of philanthropy and partnership. Key responsibilities include managing a portfolio of high-value prospects, leading a major gift team, and ensuring the advancement team is well-trained and equipped to maximize their efforts. The CAO will also be expected to strengthen relationships with all constituent groups, oversee the department's budget, and work closely with the Board of Trustees. Applicants for the Chief Advancement Officer position at the company should have a strong commitment to the mission of the institution, which is to be an academically excellent, diverse, and inclusive community. The role requires a candidate with a strategic, action-oriented leadership style, and at least 10 years of experience in advancement, with a proven track record in fundraising. The ideal candidate will have the ability to engage with and earn the respect of the entire school community, and to motivate and manage a talented team. A bachelor's degree is required, and the company is open to considering candidates with a range of backgrounds. The Head of School is seeking a long-term partner who is passionate about the work and is ready to take on the exciting challenges that lie ahead, particularly in the areas of access, affordability, and institutional impact.
