About the role

Pomona College seeks a Director of Complex Assets (Legacy) to lead the growth of a sustainable legacy gifts program. You will manage a portfolio of donors and prospects, collaborate with senior leadership and advisors to tailor complex gift strategies, and drive the college's strategic fundraising goals. The role requires JD and estate planning experience, with a minimum seven years in related work, and a track record in campaigns or academic settings.

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.
