    support; design and measure annual and long-range fundraising plans tied to the strategic needs
    of the program;


    • Manage (identify, engage, cultivate, solicit, steward) a portfolio of approximately top
    individual and corporate prospects with a focus on those with a giving capacity of $50,000 or

    • Grow the number of donors giving to Athletics through the Ram Athletic Fund or capital gifts
    by consistently each year while retaining the current donor base;


    • Supervise, coach, motivate, and evaluate fundraising and development staff (three to four

    Expectations of the role


    • Serve as a member of the Vice President and Director of Athletics' senior leadership team,
    maximizing their participation in fundraising and engagement efforts through strategic planning
    and good time management;

    most appropriate and effective;


    • Serve as Lead Development Officer for University Athletics in relationship with the Office of
    Development and Alumni Relations, to ensure alignment with policies and procedures of the

    opportunities.


    • Collaborate and coordinate with DAR operations (CSU/MPAR teams as well as central teams
    including planned giving, CFR, principal gifts, university development, and alumni engagement))
    to develop donor-centric strategies to leverage and maximize giving and engagement; engage
    with colleagues for joint cultivation/solicitation/stewardship efforts when needed;
