Stanford Engineering has been at the forefront of innovation for nearly a century, creating pivotal technologies that have transformed the worlds of information technology, communications, health care, energy, business, and beyond. Our faculty and students are creative risk-takers who pursue excellence across a breadth of disciplines. Our alumni include some of the world's most successful leaders in technology and business. Our staff are critical to enabling Stanford Engineering to accomplish its mission: seeking solutions to some of the world's most urgent challenges and educating leaders who will transform the world through the power of engineering principles, techniques, and systems.
Stanford School of Engineering (SoE) seeks an experienced, dynamic fundraiser and skilled manager to serve as our Associate Dean for Development (AD). Reporting to the dean of engineering, the AD functions as the chief development officer and as the principal advocate for the dean's funding priorities to alumni and friends of the school. The successful candidate should possess deep fundraising experience; handle themselves with sensitivity, diplomacy, and discretion; demonstrate exceptional professional judgment; and excel in leading, inspiring, and mentoring individuals and teams.
In addition to leading a robust development team that totals over 20 individuals, the AD is the principal advisor to the dean on all aspects of development. The AD also serves as the chief liaison to the central university's office of development and acts as the school's advocate within that office. The AD helps define and shape the central role that the dean and faculty play with donors and actively participates with them in the cultivation and solicitation of prospective donors. The AD represents the dean before various donor constituencies and is expected to have a strong partnership with the associate dean for communications and alumni affairs.
As a senior leader in SoE, the AD works with the dean, other senior leaders at the school, and each of the academic departments and interdisciplinary programs of the school to articulate fundraising priorities and define specific gift opportunities. The AD and their staff also work closely with individual faculty in the development process. The AD serves as a principal gift fundraiser for the school and serves as the school's liaison to the university on campaign committees, task forces, and other teams.
If you are mission driven and have the leadership and strategic skills necessary to balance prospect identification and solicitation; build donor-centric and meaningful relationships; develop, execute and measure progress toward strategic objectives; lead a large, high performing team; and partner effectively with academic leadership, faculty, senior staff, and fellow SoE and university development colleagues, then this position is for you.
This position is located on Stanford's main campus in Palo Alto. Although it is eligible for hybrid work, much of the work will involve interacting with university leaders, faculty, team members, and donors in person, so a significant on-campus and in-person presence is expected.
