Washington State University (WSU) and the Washington State University Foundation stand on the cusp of an era of unprecedented success. Through its multi-campus, statewide locations and online presence, WSU is transforming lives through education, research and community outreach. In the environment of an economically booming state with an enviable corporate presence — think Boeing, Amazon, Microsoft, and Costco, among others — and a compelling land-grant mission focused on the STEM disciplines, WSU is well poised for a robust future. The University strives to ensure that higher education is accessible at an affordable cost — a decades-long WSU commitment to the state’s residents.

The Senior Associate Vice President, Finance, Operations and Advancement Services (SAVP) will be an agent of change, capable of articulating successfully for and implementing new approaches within an already-successful environment. This will be a rewarding opportunity for a dynamic advancement operations professional with broad and deep experience in all phases of building and managing the structural backbone of a complex higher-education fundraising department. Reporting to the Foundation CEO, the SAVP will be a vital member of the team spearheading a significant campaign to support the University’s initiative to become one of the nation’s leading public universities.
