About the Role

The Associate Director, Advancement is responsible for managing relationships with donor prospects determined to have the ability to make major gifts at the $10K to $100K plus level and managing individual, corporate and foundation prospects at the major gift level by developing and implementing strategies for securing financial support by identifying, qualifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding these relationships. The incumbent provides support to and works in partnership as a member of the central Advancement team to develop and implement strategies that facilitate and generate maximum funding and stewardship support for the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The incumbent is required to meet annual key performance activity metric targets determined for the level of the role by the Executive Director, Advancement. This position represents the Advancement arm of the Faculty of Health Sciences, the students, and the institution.
