Stanford Medicine is comprised of Stanford University School of Medicine, a research-intensive medical school, Stanford Health Care, a hospital that is nationally recognized for quality patient care and leading-edge technology, and Stanford Children’s Health, the only health care system in the San Francisco Bay Area exclusively dedicated to pediatric and obstetric care. Medical Center Development (MCD), in partnership with the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, supports Stanford Medicine. MCD’s passionate and experienced fundraising professionals and partner teams work closely to create a donor-centric approach to development. We continue to envision creative ways to build upon the generous support of our donor community and align our strategic vision with that of Stanford University, which is in the early stages of a new and exciting institutional fundraising effort. Every member of the MCD team and the broader Office of Development staff plays an important role in inspiring donors and providing an exceptionally positive and fulfilling philanthropic experience. Stanford believes that diversity and excellence go hand-in-hand and so hires individuals with a commitment to working effectively with colleagues and donors from a wide range of backgrounds.
Reporting to the Assistant Director of Administrative Services on the Infrastructure team at MCD, the Development Officer will support and enhance the success of the Major Gifts development efforts for Cardiovascular Health and Surgery, along with overall Stanford Medicine priorities and initiatives.
In this role, you will partner with gift officers by providing project and programmatic support, and develop strategies for prospect identification, solicitation, and proposal development. You will operate independently in the coordination of internal support with colleagues, volunteers, and other university staff to assist in establishing and maintaining relationships with all university constituencies.
