Description

Description Publishing Concepts, LP (PCI) is a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, headquartered in Dallas, Texas. For over a century, we have partnered with universities and nonprofit organizations to deepen alumni engagement and strengthen the relationships that fuel philanthropy. At PCI and our StoryCause fundraising division, we help institutions capture alumni and donor stories at scale, turning meaningful conversations into insights that inspire giving. By combining human connection with data-driven insight, we help advancement teams build stronger donor relationships and ultimately inspire greater generosity for the missions they serve. Our work sits at the intersection of storytelling, relationships, and philanthropy. Every conversation we facilitate helps institutions better understand the people who care about their mission, unlocking deeper engagement, stronger communities, and generating long-term financial impact for the institutions we serve. Help Universities Identify Their Next Generation of Donors! Colleges and universities today face a growing challenge. Campaign revenue is increasingly concentrated among a small number of major donors, while the pipeline beneath those donors often remains thin. Advancement leaders know their next generation of transformational donors already exists within their alumni communities. The challenge is identifying those donors early — and engaging them meaningfully. Publishing Concepts, LP (PCI), helps institutions solve that challenge. Through PCI and our StoryCause fundraising division, we partner with universities and nonprofit organizations to capture alumni and donor stories at scale, transforming those conversations into actionable donor insight. These insights help institutions understand who is ready to give more, why they care, and how to engage them effectively. For more than 100 years, PCI and its predecessor organizations have partnered with mission-driven institutions to strengthen alumni engagement and preserve the stories that shape communities. Today, PCI is expanding how institutions leverage storytelling and donor insight to strengthen fundraising pipelines and uncover leadership and legacy donors earlier. We are seeking a Senior Account Executive – Advancement Partnerships to help lead this next phase of growth. This is a growth-focused role for a disciplined professional who thrives in outbound prospecting, opens doors others cannot, and enjoys leading thoughtful conversations with advancement leaders.

Through these initiatives, alumni are invited to share their personal stories about how the institution shaped their lives. These conversations generate meaningful engagement and valuable institutional insight. Many alumni choose to purchase a beautifully crafted publication or commemorative keepsake. Alumni participation funds the program, so there is no cost to the university. This model allows institutions to engage thousands of alumni, capture meaningful donor insights, and strengthen their fundraising pipelines without requiring institutional budget. What Makes This Role Different You are not selling a product; you are helping institutions rethink how they identify and engage their next generation of donors. You will lead conversations with senior advancement leaders about donor motivation, engagement, and fundraising strategy.
