About the role

The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) in New York City is seeking a Director of Major Gifts, Eastern Region, to lead CRI's major donor program and raise funds to accelerate groundbreaking cancer immunotherapy research. Reporting to senior leadership, you will manage a 100–150 donor portfolio, develop engagement strategies, collaborate with program teams, and partner with the CEO and board to expand major giving. This is a hybrid NYC-based opportunity.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
