About the role

Merrimack College, a private Catholic institution in Massachusetts, seeks a seasoned fundraising leader to serve as Senior Associate Vice President for Principal Gifts & Family Philanthropy. You will guide a high-capacity donor portfolio and collaborate with College leadership to advance major gift strategies. Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Institutional Advancement, you will grow family philanthropy, strengthen Boards of Advisors, and translate engagement into significant gifts

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.
