About the role

Drury University in Springfield, MO seeks a strategic Director of Engagement and Annual Giving to lead programs that deepen lifelong ties with alumni, families, donors, volunteers, and community partners. You will oversee annual giving, events, volunteer leadership, and multi‑channel communications, collaborating with Marketing and Advancement. A Bachelor’s degree and at least five years in advancement or related fields are required; a master’s is preferred.

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.
