You will partner with Directors of Development to determine the best strategies for effective stewardship of donors and alumni, and opportunities for developing new stewardship programs and will be responsible for a wide range of programmatic duties. You will proactively support the stewardship responsibilities of the development staff and collaborate with a diverse group of internal constituents, to facilitate the appropriate stewardship activities. As an Assistant Director of Stewardship, you will also help develop a range of donor-driven materials and will write about complex science in a style that is understandable and exciting to a lay-audience. In addition, as our Assistant Director, you may serve as a contact for donors that require help, resolving problems, questions, and concerns.
