Senior Director, Global Corporate Advancement
Arizona State University Foundation
The ASU Foundation for a New American University seeks an entrepreneurial, globally minded Executive Director, Global Corporate Advancement to help shape the future of corporate engagement at the most innovative university in the nation. Building on Arizona State University’s bold mission and worldwide reach, this leader will originate and structure partnerships that blend philanthropic investment with ASU’s enterprise-wide capabilities to deliver inclusive solutions and outcomes-driven impact.
The Opportunity
The Senior Director is a senior leader on ASUF’s newly formed Global Corporate Advancement team and will join a team of frontline fundraisers reporting to the Vice President for Global Corporate Advancement.
Maintaining a focused portfolio of major and lead-level ($10M+) domestic and international corporate prospects – including new, unaffiliated organizations – the Senior Director will deepen relationships, secure philanthropic commitments, and close enterprise-level agreements that generate institutional value across multiple pathways.
Success in the role will require the ability to move seamlessly from strategy to execution, an out-ofthe-box approach to fundraising, meaningful relationship-building in a matrixed environment, transparent cross-campus collaboration, and long-range, strategic thinking. The Senior Director will be both a relationship architect and a dealmaker, capable of shaping complex gifts and partnerships that serve the university’s mission and deliver tangible results for corporate partners.
ASU’s approach to corporate engagement reaches across the full spectrum of a company’s assets, from philanthropy to talent, research, and innovation – creating pathways that accelerate discovery, strengthen workforces, and scale societal solutions.
This is a rare opportunity to connect global companies to ASU’s research and innovation ecosystem, advancing President Michael Crow’s Charter to measure success by whom we include and how they succeed, and to help ASU serve the country and the world through transformative corporate collaboration.
