Senior Director of Philanthropy

Reporting to the Senior Director of Philanthropy, Principal Gifts Team Lead, the Senior Director of Philanthropy will play a critical role in the growth of Year Up United to serve more students. The Senior Director of Philanthropy will manage a portfolio of individual donors/prospects in support of the Year Up United mission and ongoing operations and strategic initiatives, with a focus on proactively identifying and engaging new high net worth donors independently or in partnership with our research team and our Campaign Committee and other leaders.

To be successful in this role, you will be someone who has cultivated, solicited, closed, and stewarded critical business relationships and/or donors at the seven-figure gift level. You will feel at home working in an environment that requires you to juggle multiple priorities and competing deadlines, while never losing sight of the overarching goals and desired outcomes.

The Senior Director of Philanthropy will also interact with students as a mentor, group facilitator, and advocate, participating in building a positive educational environment.
