Description
The Opportunity:
Since its inception, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has remained best in class — the unquestioned global leader in aerospace education, and the definitive source of innovation in aviation and aerospace education and research. The largest, most comprehensive institution of its kind, Embry-Riddle was founded in 1926, 22 years after the Wright brothers’ first demonstration of piloted, powered flight: 12 seconds that changed the world and eventually brought Embry-Riddle into being. Today, with a nearly 100-year legacy of innovation and excellence in education, even greater accomplishments lie ahead — and above
Embry-Riddle holds multiple Top 10 academic rankings. Our aerospace engineering programs, for example, have routinely been judged to be the nation’s best. With a long history of serving those who serve, Embry-Riddle is annually named “Best for Veterans.” In addition, the university’s online bachelor’s degree programs have ranked first or second in the nation for the past eight years. And, Embry-Riddle’s professional pilot degree programs are the unquestioned gold standard for aspiring aviators.
As we prepare for our Centennial Campaign, there has never been a more exciting time to make your mark on our University’s history. We seek a dynamic fundraiser to join the Office of Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement as the Director of Philanthropy in the Daytona Beach College of Aviation. The College of Aviation, led by Dr. Alan Stolzer, is a diverse learning community comprised of five academic departments: Aeronautical Science, Applied Aviation Sciences, Aviation Maintenance Science, Aviation Safety, Flight, and a school of Graduate Studies.
Reporting to the Senior Director of Philanthropy, Colleges of Aviation and working directly with the dean and faculty in Daytona Beach, the Director of Philanthropy works to identify, cultivate, solicit and steward lead annual and major gifts from alumni and community partners. They provide leadership and coordination to the campus in approaching donors for lead annual and major gifts, working closely with the Senior Director, campus leadership, and development colleagues. They will develop and implement fundraising strategies, prepare compelling oral and written proposals, and build and maintain effective relationships with booster supporters.
This is not just a job – it is an opportunity to be a catalyst for change, a champion of innovation, and a guardian of our legacy. If you are ready to make waves, break barriers, and leave an indelible mark on the future of aerospace education, we want you on our team.
