About the role

Phillips Exeter Academy is seeking a Regional Director of Major Gifts to manage 150–180 high‑capability prospects and donors, with extensive travel for cultivation and solicitation. The role includes coaching two Regional Directors of Major Gifts and aligning strategies with senior leadership and volunteers. You will work across departments to coordinate annual, capital, and planned giving efforts. The position requires strong donor relations, strategic planning, and exceptional communication

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.
