The Opportunity

With new leadership at the helm, building on the past and envisioning new directions for its future, this is a momentous time to lead the Institutional Advancement (IA) team at Yeshiva University. The Vice President of Institutional Advancement (VPIA) will be a member of the President’s senior team and conceptualize, plan and execute a strategic and tactical program to aggressively seek and identify new funding sources for the University both from its traditional lines of support from alumni and the Jewish community and beyond. Collaborating with the President, Board of Trustees, academic and administrative leadership, faculty, staff, students, alumni and current supporters, the VPIA will build upon the significant success of the University’s existing advancement agenda to ensure an innovative, comprehensive and sustainable program that will increase philanthropic support.
