Portland, Maine, United States Marine Biological Laboratory Full time

Search for the Chief Development Officer

Marine Biological Laboratory

Woods Hole, Massachusetts

The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), North America's oldest
private research laboratory, seeks an experienced, strategic, and
collaborative individual to serve as its next Chief Development
Officer (CDO). Recognized as one of the great international labs
for research and education in the life sciences, the MBL has for
over 135 years drawn many of the world's most accomplished
researchers across a variety of disciplines, including 60 Nobel
Laureates.

The MBL is one of six research institutions in Woods Hole
including the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Woods Hole
Research Center, NOAA Fisheries, Sea Education Association, and
USGS.

The MBL is known for pushing the boundaries of science,
pioneering new fields, and establishing the careers of generations
of leading scientists. MBL's research and
education programs are renowned for their convening power and
resulting seminal discoveries in biological research. This vibrant,
year-round institution provides resident and visiting science
programs and a growing portfolio of education courses. Research
done at the MBL spans subject areas including cell and
developmental biology, climate and environmental science,
evolutionary biology, genetics and genomics, regenerative biology,
neuroscience, microbial ecology, and physiology. Building on its
historic strengths, the MBL is committed to strategic growth in the
areas of imaging innovation and the development of novel,
genetically tractable, research organisms for the advancement of
science.

Over the years, the MBL has cultivated strong relationships with
diverse donors, including foundations, corporations, individuals,
and governmental agencies, securing substantial support for its
cutting-edge research and education programs. Reporting to the
Director and serving as a core member of MBL's leadership team, the
CDO will craft and implement a strategic philanthropic plan to
raise $150 million over the next five years and to lay a foundation
for sustained philanthropic success that matches the vision and
scope of MBL programs. This is a tremendous opportunity for an
experienced, bold and creative development executive to play a
critical leadership role in advancing MBL's reputation and
resources. To this end, the CDO will guide a current team of six
individuals in the creation and execution of a strategic
development plan that leverages creative initiatives and
collaborations. They will also work closely with a dedicated Board
of Trustees, including a seasoned Development Committee. As an
independent research institute with many academic partners, there
is great opportunity for the MBL to expand its connections with
academia and foundations to attract funding to advance biological
research and education. As such, the CDO is presented with a unique
opportunity to both build upon MBL's existing foundation of
fundraising success while defining new strategies for elevated and
sustainable philanthropic growth.

The ideal candidate should be a self-starter with an innovative
approach to growing and guiding a philanthropic program in basic
scientific research. They will bring a track record of success
raising significant philanthropic support for an organization while
also building its constituency, as well as prior success raising
major and principal gifts and increasing the effectiveness of a
development program through established objectives and performance
standards linked with organizational initiatives and goals. They
will possess the communication skills required to articulate the
vision and mission of a program to a diverse group of funding
organizations and individuals in clear and compelling language. A
background in science is desirable; a passion for science is
required.

COMPENSATION AND LOCATION

The annual salary range for this position is $225,000 to
$275,000. The stated hiring range represents the institution's good
faith and reasonable estimate of the possible compensation at the
time of posting.
