About the role

Michigan State University’s MSU Student Success development team seeks an Associate Director of Development to cultivate and solicit major gifts focused on Student Success initiatives. The role includes managing a 75-prospect portfolio, conducting regular donor visits, and coordinating with University Advancement for high-value solicitations. The position reports to the Director of Development for MSU Student Success and will travel as needed to engage donors and close major 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.
