    Description
    Position Overview


    The Director of Development will understand the mission, needs and value proposition of the Wexner Medical Center and the university, and build relationships with prospective donors to increase philanthropic support.

    Donors such as alumni, friends, and/or grateful patients will be identified by listening for opportunities to align their interests and passions with opportunities to donate to the university or Wexner Medical Center.


    The aim of the role is to actively manage a portfolio of prospective donors to be asked for major gifts.

    Preparation for the "ask" will include creative and strategic utilization of resources to determine the prospective donor's capacity for giving, build their interest, raise their sights, sustain their engagement and obtain a gift.

    Success in the position will be guided by annual metrics such as number of monthly meetings, number of gift commitments, and dollars raised.

    Central resources such as a robust donor database, and reporting and analytics tools exist to help the role achieve goals and manage an allocated budget.


    The Director reports to the Senior Director of Development and operates with a high degree of independence to make decisions, solve problems, negotiate and adapt to shifting priorities.

    Expectations include stellar communications and interactions with constituents, collaboration with colleagues across Advancement and the university and Wexner Medical Center, diplomacy, and discretion.

    This role requires frequent workweek travel including approximately one or two overnight trips per month, regular in-state travel and occasional evening and weekend work.


    All members of Advancement are part of creating an inclusive culture that inspires an exceptionally diverse and talented team and are measured on their adherence to the following core competencies: leadership, continuous improvement, teamwork and collaboration, and communication/interpersonal effectiveness.

    All members are also expected to exhibit The Ohio State University's Shared Values which include Excellence and Impact, Diversity and Innovation, Inclusion and Equity, Care and Compassion, and Integrity and Respect.

    Metrics and Collaboration


    The annual performance of all fundraisers at Ohio State is measured by the number of qualifications, cultivations, solicitations and commitments/dollars raised the individual accrues over each fiscal year.

    Each fundraiser may have different expectations regarding these figures based upon, but not limited to, their experience level, unit size, prospect portfolio, past performance, etc.

    Goal setting is done with the individual's manager prior to each fiscal year to assure transparency, consistency and alignment.


    All fundraisers at Ohio State are encouraged and expected to collaborate with their colleagues across the institution and can be counted as 'Secondary' on a gift in the solicitation, commitment and dollars raised phases of the development cycle.

    A secondary fundraiser can be considered when a team is working on a multi-unit gift, the fundraiser is a subject matter expert in an area critical to the solicitation or a fundraiser has a pre-existing, meaningful relationship with the donor and their participation helps move the gift forward.

    Required Qualifications

    Bachelor's degree in related field or equivalent combination education/experience.


    Four (4) years of relevant experience with at least two (2) years of professional fundraising experience (building relationships towards philanthropic end through making calls, conducting face-to-face appointments, creating and presenting proposals, closing gifts) and two (2) years of related experience in marketing, sales, public relations, financial advisement, account management or related field with emphasis on donor cultivation, solicitation and relationship cultivation of individuals/businesses.

    Desired Qualifications

    (We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage you to apply even if your experience does not align perfectly)

    At least four (4) years of professional fundraising experience raising the highest level of philanthropic gifts at an organization (preferably five or six figures and above)

    At least four (4) years of professional fundraising experience in higher education or a hospital/health care environment
