Regional Advancement Director

Charged with dramatically increasing both the quality and size of the University of Rochester's prospect pool, the Office of Regional Advancement will play a key role in the overall growth of private philanthropy at the University. They will both originate prospect/donor activity and coordinate all Advancement work in their assigned regions. Regional Directors will need to work collegially with the School/Unit Gift Officers. They will carry a portfolio of approximately 125-150 qualified prospects. Regional Directors will need to think creatively on how to leverage various forms of communication, as well as maximize multiple forms of technology to reach prospective donors. Annual performance metrics will be set in collaboration with the Executive Director of Regional Advancement. The Regional Directors are expected to be full and active members of the Regional Advancement team and of the broader University Advancement team, participating in strategy and planning, and contributing their ideas and counsel particularly as they relate to their assigned regions. The position reports to the Assistant Vice President or Executive Director of Regional Advancement and will have a designated staff person supporting him or her. Extensive travel on behalf of the university is required.
