    Manage a major gift portfolio and direct the efforts of major and leadership annual gifts officers.
    Plan and implement the GSE's major gift fundraising plans and strategies.
    Work with volunteers and faculty to develop goals and fundraising activities.
    Provide opportunities for professional growth focusing on retention to increase capacity and stability of the team.

    Inspire and motivate staff by fostering a work environment that encourages new ideas, risk-taking, team-based efforts, celebrating current achievements and setting/meeting philanthropic goals.

    Hire and retain staff, offer career coaching, encourage professional development and guide performance of direct reports.
    Ensure appropriate resources are allocated towards programs, and resolve internal allocation issues.

    Additional responsibilities include:
    Personally manage a portfolio of high potential individual prospects through the discovery, qualification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship cycles.

    Forge long-term relationships with these individuals to cultivate their interest in Stanford that will lead to gifts in the seven- and eight-figure range.

    Provide strategic fundraising support to the Dean of the GSE and Associate Dean for External Relations and faculty leaders as appropriate.

    Supervise GSE's development officers who focus on individual, planned giving, and corporate and foundation fundraising; lead staff to advance GSE relationships and solicitations, develop and support gift officer's achievement of annual fundraising goals; leverage and ensure alignment of fundraising activities by gift officers.

    Convene regular team meetings and organize team-building activities to encourage collaboration and open communication; create a culture of celebration where accomplishments such as meeting fundraising goals are consistently acknowledged and celebrated.

    Monitor performance and offer mentoring and coaching options as requested by team members or suggested by the Associate Dean for External Relations.

    Facilitate and support capital campaign and fundraising activities by the GSE Advisory Council; facilitate relationships between potential and current GSE donors and volunteers; work closely with faculty leadership to build relationships between potential donors and faculty.
