About the role

University of Virginia is seeking a Director of Development for Madison House within External Relations. The role leads frontline fundraising, building a major-gift portfolio and coordinating with UVA leadership, alumni, and volunteers to advance student-led public service initiatives. Hybrid work arrangement is offered with in-person duties on UVA Grounds and at Madison House; travel is required to engage donors and partners nationwide.

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.
