About the role

The Jackson Laboratory in New York, NY is seeking a Senior Director, Principal & Major Gifts to expand philanthropic support in the metro area. Based in New York and reporting to the Vice President, Advancement, you will manage a portfolio of high-capacity donors and drive six- and seven-figure gifts. This role blends fundraising leadership with prospect development and strategic relationship building across private equity, life sciences, and healthcare communities.

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.
