- Preparing briefing materials to support Senior Administration (President, VPs, AVPs, Dean) fundraising activity;
- Collaborating with the Director of Advancement, the Dean, the Senior Development Manager and other internal partners to identify university priorities that will resonate with donors, e.g., scholarships, sponsorships, and capital projects;
- Creating and presenting materials to advance fundraising asks such as: generic cases for support to more customized proposals;
- Negotiating the closure of major gifts, including the creation of gift agreements and other supporting documentation;
- Actively develop the OVC planned giving pipeline working in partnership with the OVC Director of Advancement and the University of Guelph’s Gift Planning Manager.

**Requirements**:

- You have an undergraduate degree and a minimum of two (2) years of fundraising experience (with a preference for experience in major gift fundraising), or you have attained an equivalent combination of education and experience that has prepared you for this next step in your career.
- You have an ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and professional development.
- You are a self-starter and action-oriented, motivated by deadlines and measurable outcomes.
- You approach new challenges with integrity, tenacity, and patience.
- You think and act quickly and effectively under pressure, exercising tact, diplomacy, discretion, good judgment, and with a high degree of self-awareness of your own implicit bias.
- You have a track record of working successfully as part of a team in a fast-paced, complex environment.
- You interact effectively with senior executives in the corporate community.
- You are a strong writer, and you can present complex ideas with clarity, emotion, and brevity in writing as well as in person.
- You adapt readily to new technology and are proficient use of Microsoft Office Suite and donor databases and/or CRM systems.
