About the role

Case Western Reserve University’s Case School of Engineering seeks a Director of National Development to lead strategic solicitation of major gifts. The role focuses on cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding 125 prospects (alumni, non-alumni, corporations and foundations) for gifts ranging from $100,000 to $250,000. A major emphasis is on face-to-face donor engagement and collaboration with university-wide development teams.

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.
