Position Information

Under the leadership of the Sr. Director of Development and in close collaboration with the dean of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS), UC Riverside seeks a director of development (DoD) who will develop and execute long- and short-term strategies to grow the philanthropic pipeline and secure annual and major gifts from alumni, local community members, corporations, and statewide prospects to benefit critical capital projects, research programs, and students. The DoD will identify and manage a group of approximately 150 prospective and current donors and will travel locally and statewide frequently for qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship purposes. The DoD will arrange appropriate opportunities for key faculty and academic leadership to meet with prospective donors and will work collaboratively with other University Advancement colleagues to achieve fundraising goals.

The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences' 13 departments comprise the college's three divisions led by divisional deans: Agriculture, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. This unique structure has resulted in the need for dedicated philanthropic engagement from an incumbent who will be instrumental in planning and executing annual giving appeals and major gift strategies in collaboration with the CNAS Development team and will help raise $100M of the university's $300M "Living the Promise" campaign goal by 2020.
