About the role

NC State University in Raleigh seeks an Executive Director of Gift Planning to lead a campus-wide program for gift planning, estate gifts, and strategic fundraising. You will guide strategy, compliance, and stewardship while collaborating across Advancement to advance priorities. The role requires proven leadership, expertise in complex gifts, and the ability to grow the donor pipeline. Travel evenings/weekends may be necessary.

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.
