Build and manage a sustainable pipeline of high-value prospects and donors, with accurate forecasting and clear portfolio discipline.
Deliver major fundraising campaigns and philanthropic initiatives that align with University priorities and attract donor investment.
Strengthen fundraising capability across the Advancement portfolio through coaching, development and best-practice processes.
Increase engagement of academic and senior leaders in donor relationships, cultivation and stewardship.
