About the role

The Cleveland Museum of Art seeks a Philanthropic Advisor for Strategic Philanthropy to develop and manage a portfolio of major gift prospects and donors, including individuals and corporations, with gifts from $25,000 to $1 million and above. The advisor collaborates across the museum to craft donor strategies and proposals. You will cultivate relationships, prepare compelling cases for support, and communicate the impact of philanthropy on the museum's priorities, while meeting fundraising

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.
