Lead philanthropy that advances the future of nursing education, research, and practice.
The University of Virginia seeks an accomplished and strategic fundraising leader to serve as Executive Director of Development for the School of Nursing, leading a team with a two-fold mission of fundraising and alumni engagement as part of UVA Health Development.
As the School’s chief development officer, the Executive Director works closely with the Dean to define philanthropic priorities, manages a portfolio of major and principal gift prospects, and partners with a highly engaged Advisory Board dedicated to the School’s success. With a seat on the Dean’s Council and a central role in shaping the School’s goals and messaging for the next University campaign, this is a unique opportunity to align philanthropy with the School’s vision while joining UVA and UVA Health’s strong and reputable advancement community.
Reporting to the Assistant Vice President and Chief Development Officer for Health Development, with a dotted-line relationship to the Dean of the School of Nursing, the Executive Director of Development will set and achieve ambitious annual and campaign fundraising goals, strengthen volunteer leadership, and build a high-performing alumni and development team.
What We’re Looking For
The ideal candidate is a proven fundraiser and team leader who builds relationships of trust and respect with alumni, faculty, volunteers, donors, and staff, and who can translate a dean’s vision into compelling philanthropic opportunities.
