The Opportunity
New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering continues its meteoric rise by jumping three positions in the U.S. News & World Report 2022 rankings, rising 44 positions overall since 2009. This is an incredible opportunity for a new Associate Dean for Development, the School’s lead fundraiser, to partner with the Dean and leadership, and leverage support from New York University’s central Development and Alumni Relations office (UDAR), to construct a visionary strategic fundraising plan to fuel Tandon’s philanthropic success in keeping with its new rankings.
Critical to success in the role, the Associate Dean will take initiative to structure and guide the work of the Dean and leadership volunteers in their fundraising activities, in addition to carrying their own portfolio of major and principal-level prospects. The successful candidate will also have a knack for translating large, complex research ideas and initiatives into succinct, compelling narratives to attract and inspire the School’s donors, prospects, and alumni.
Directly managing a team of four professionals, the Associate Dean will bring a sophisticated yet humble leadership style, as well as deep experience diplomatically managing through influence across a complex work environment.
