Job Description:

The Director of Development for the Brown University Sports Foundation (Annual Fund & Operations) is responsible for the planning, implementation, and management of a comprehensive annual fund program as well as overseeing the entirety of the operations, including programming, marketing and communications, on behalf of the BUSF to assure the program’s continuing role as an Ivy League leader in Athletics fundraising.

The Director of Development will oversee the $5M+ BUSF annual fund program including planning, pipeline development, marketing, messaging, hyper-giving days, and the overall strategy and execution for the program. This BUSF annual fund program is critical to the success of the overall $50M+ Brown Annual Fund on an annual basis and the Director provides crucial leadership and support, both directly and through the management of BUSF annual fund staff, to the Division of Advancement as a partner, collaborator and key stakeholder in the overall annual process to support the necessary outcome for the Division.

The Director will also be individually responsible for raising $1 million or more annually as plan manager and/or primary solicitor. The Director’s individual portfolio will include active, major gift prospects with a rated capacity of $100,000 or more. The candidate must have the ability to work with a diverse range of constituents including donors, trustees, and volunteers, and demonstrate a capacity to exceed major fundraising goals in close collaboration with the Executive/Senior Director as well Advancement leadership and all prospect managers across the Division of Advancement. The Director will also maintain oversight of 4 varsity and/or premiere club programs (this number may be adjusted depending upon size/complexity of sports) which Brown is seeking to support through annual, endowment and capital support. Through this work, the Director is charged with increasing the number of leadership and major gift donors across these programs by developing and implementing strategies that will maximize donor engagement and philanthropy.

Through direct management, the Director will provide strategic oversight for at least three subordinates with the following responsibilities: 1. marketing, communications, and fundraising for Brown’s $5M+ annual use fundraising program; 2. operations specific to budget, data compilation, reporting & stewardship; 3. leadership support of all annual fundraising for all athletics priorities; 4. All BUSF engagement programs and events including related strategy, planning, budget and execution. The Director will be responsible for connecting these direct reports to Brown’s overall fundraising missions and values and with that charge, will lead and mentor these BUSF staff members to help foster deep collaborations across the Division of Advancement while ensuring a close working relationship between programs and fundraising teams. The Director will measure success not only through the total dollars raised on an annual basis, but also through the activities and programming successes that are necessary to achieve the overall fundraising goals. The Director will engage as a thought partner for the staff they lead and set an example as a manager of collaboration, teamwork, collegiality, empathy, professionalism and accountability.

The Director is responsible for leading strategic development of events and marketing specific to Athletics for the broader Brown community on behalf of Advancement. They are tasked with developing focused high-level activities, broad-based engagement opportunities, and strategic marketing and communications that support annual, major, and principal gift work as well as broad alumni engagement. Related, the Director provides content from Athletics that supports prospect awareness, advances cultivation, and improves BUSF stewardship efforts. Expectations include close collaboration with, among others, the Associate Vice President for Advancement Communications and the Senior Director for Communications and Marketing, to plan and implement all Athletics campaign messaging related to capital projects, endowment campaigns and the annual fund. The Director will have oversight of the broad-based communication strategy for the Brown Athletics community as it relates to Advancement.

The Director provides oversight for all BUSF administration of budget and business practices to create the highest level of efficiency and financial responsibility possible within the organization. The Director will be tasked with focusing on accuracy, accountability and efficiency within all budget and business practices to maximize the efficacy of the BUSF annually.
