About the role

Porter-Gaud School is seeking a Director of Major Gifts to join our Advancement team to start at the beginning of January, with flexibility for an earlier start later this fall. The Director will identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward a portfolio of constituents capable of making major gifts of $100,000 and above, supporting operational, capital, and endowment priorities while upholding the School's mission and ethical standards.

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.
