The Opportunity
At a pivotal moment for the School’s philanthropic growth, Dartmouth Health and Geisel are seeking an Executive Director of Development.
The Executive Director of Development will play a vital role in building and leading a cohesive Geisel development team while working closely with academic and healthcare leadership to translate institutional priorities into transformative giving opportunities. With a deep and broad donor pipeline, a robust research and alumni infrastructure, and a new cross-functional communications and marketing team, Geisel is primed for its next phase of philanthropic leadership.
The Executive Director will have the opportunity to lead a major-gifts-focused team and personally manage a portfolio of high-level prospects to advance major initiatives in medical education and research.
This is an exceptional chance for a senior fundraising professional to play a critical leadership role in shaping the future of one of the nation’s most innovative and interdisciplinary medical schools.
