About the role

UC Irvine seeks an Executive Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations to lead a comprehensive fundraising strategy, cultivating relationships with corporations, foundations, and associations to secure major gifts and scale philanthropic support. The role drives strategic partnerships, oversees CFR team activities, and collaborates with University Advancement to meet and exceed annual funding goals while navigating complex donor landscapes.

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.
