POSITION OBJECTIVE
The senior director of national development will have primary responsibility for the solicitation of individual gifts for Case Western Reserve University from its natural constituency and beyond ($100,000 to $5,000,000). This position will be charged to identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward a portfolio of 150 to 200 prospects for the Weatherhead School of Management. This position will require that approximately 80 percent of their time be on direct face-to-face cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship, with the expectation that they will be fully responsible for all individual major gift activity within a specific program, school, or university priority. The senior director will assist in overseeing Weatherhead School of Management's national fundraising programs and will offer counsel in planning and implementing the school's fundraising campaign throughout the country. Functioning as part of a university development team, the incumbent will be expected to work collegially, and in partnership, with school-based colleagues.
