Science is foundational. Long before someone becomes an engineer, a physician, a kinesiologist, or a forester, they begin with science: a teacher, a lab, a question that is nurtured rather than dismissed. We are seeking a Director who understands that funding science education and research means investing in the pipeline for many of the professions that shape our world, and who brings genuine enthusiasm to that work.
Reporting to and working closely with the Assistant Dean, the Director will help lead a talented development team while personally managing a $4M portfolio of leadership-level donors. The role contributes to a $13M Development and Alumni Engagement program in support of the Faculty's $27M annual goal, a target the team works toward collectively.
What we are looking for
We are seeking a dynamic leader who is motivated by challenge and comfortable operating as a self-starter. The ideal candidate brings genuine curiosity about scientific research and the ability to translate that enthusiasm into compelling cases for support.
This individual will have demonstrated success building meaningful relationships within industry, with the credibility and judgment to identify the right partners, earn their trust, and convert shared interest into sustained investment.
As a leader, this person will be equally comfortable mentoring fundraisers who benefit from structure and clear process as they are challenging experienced major gift officers to think more ambitiously. They will be motivated primarily by the success of the team rather than by individual achievement, while still maintaining strong personal accountability for their own portfolio and goals.
