Regional Development Officer

Hampden-Sydney College

Remote Virginia

As one of the oldest colleges in the United States, located on a 1,300-acre campus in Virginia’s beautiful Southside, Hampden-Sydney College (H-SC) provides a contemporary liberal arts education featuring supportive, yet exacting faculty. Since before the American Revolution, Hampden-Sydney College has been transforming young men into the best possible versions of themselves, with the moral strength and intellectual capacity to be leaders in the workplace and in their communities.

The Opportunity

With a landmark $250 million capital campaign on the horizon, Hampden-Sydney College seeks to expand its team with the addition of a Regional Development Officer (RDO) responsible for soliciting major gifts from a dedicated constituency of alumni and friends.

Reporting to the Director for Regional Development, the RDO will be focused primarily on managing a portfolio of donors and prospects in the mid-Atlantic, specifically Richmond, Tidewater, Hampton Roads, and the DMV. The ideal candidate will be a sophisticated fundraiser with a proven track record of closing five- and six-figure gifts or greater.

This is an exciting opportunity to serve as an ambassador for an historic all-male college while collaborating with partners in Development and Alumni Engagement and across the institution to increase philanthropic support.
