Requirements

Director of Development, School of Health - Office of Advancement - Georgetown University

Job Overview

The Director of Development, School of Health, serves as the primary development officer and staff liaison for Georgetown University's School of Health, the university's newest school, established July 1, 2022. The Director will work closely with the School's Dean, faculty, and volunteer leadership group.

In consultation with the Dean and the Senior Director of Development for Medicine and Health (SDOD), the Director will design, manage, and execute the fundraising strategy and leadership volunteer engagement activity for the School of Health and its programs and initiatives. The Director will be responsible for the implementation and coordination of a comprehensive development program to engage new and unaligned constituents and institutional funders, as well as previously unidentified alumni, families, and friends, towards philanthropic support, critical to the School's success.

As the lead development officer supporting the School of Health, the Director will work collaboratively across the matrixed Advancement organization and greater institution to coordinate efforts in ensuring annual goals, as well as the ambitions of a multi-billion-dollar comprehensive campaign, are met. Partnership with the Dean will be critical to the success of the team. In the words of the Inaugural Dean Dr. Christopher King: 'A School of Health is a unique name that inspires creativity to address critical issues. We will critically audit traditional norms and adopt novel approaches to teaching, research, and service to make a deeper impact locally, nationally, and globally. As we build upon a foundational architecture of accomplishments rooted in our rich Jesuit identity, I have no doubt we are on the brink of something transformational.'

The Director will directly manage a portfolio of Health-related donors/prospective donors, ranging across the donor lifecycle, with the goal and expectation of building strategic alignment and philanthropic support, as well as future pipeline. This portfolio work will include identifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding annual, major and planned gifts, as well as corporate/foundation partnerships. There will be designed annual fundraising goals and metrics, including visits, asks, and dollars raised.

The Director will be integral in introducing the Dean to constituents, providing strategy and advice on engaging current or prospective donors towards new philanthropic opportunities in support of the SOH Dean's top priorities. In partnership with the SDOD, the Director will oversee the recruitment and management of the SOH volunteer leadership group, providing direction on its makeup and mission, and help to develop SOH engagement activities.

This position is an exciting opportunity, and Georgetown is looking for a high-performing development professional eager to strategically build and launch the school's philanthropic foundation.
