As the Major Gifts program advances into an exciting period of growth, we are searching for an additional high-energy, strategic, and entrepreneurial Sr. Major Gifts Officer (SMGO) to continue developing and strengthening sustainable donor pipelines and propel the global sight-saving mission forward.

Reporting to the Director, Major & Planned Giving, the SMGO is responsible for the significant growth of a portfolio of major donors, primarily west of the Mississippi River, as well as creating, implementing, and managing cultivation and solicitation activities for the Major Donor program.

The ideal candidate will be donor centric and able to build relationships with current major donors and those with capacity to make major gifts but need additional qualification and engagement. Working as a member of the Major Gifts team, the SMGO will manage a growing portfolio of 75-100 individuals, families, and family foundations with capacity to make gifts of $25,000+, with an emphasis on closing multi-year commitments of $100,000+.

This is a growth role for an ambitious candidate motivated to simultaneously focus on increasing revenue from existing major donors, those currently in the Mid-Level program with verified financial capacity to become major donors, and to prospect for new major donors. The SMGO is expected to consistently engage prospects through referrals and participation at Orbis events. The SMGO will create and implement aggressive cultivation and solicitation strategies resulting in increased revenue and expansion of the major donor pipeline.
