Program Director, Cultivation Events and Stewardship

The University of Notre Dame (ND.jobs) is accepting applications for a Program Director, Cultivation Events and Stewardship.

Applications will be accepted until 9/22/2017.

The Special Events & Stewardship unit strives to enhance the overall donor experience through events, personalized communications, impact reporting, public recognition, gifts of appreciation and Notre Dame experiences. These events and experiences are often hosted by Executive Officers and other University leadership, and are typically initiated in partnership with fundraisers. Such events/experiences encourage deepened donor relationships and engagement. This position, within the Cultivation Events & Stewardship unit, serves as the lead for all events and activities associated with Athletics Advancement, and assists with other engagement events including those in support of Notre Dame's Giving Programs and Wall Street activities. This position will also lead several off campus receptions, following the play Sorin: A Notre Dame Story throughout the country in connection with the national phase of the Boldly campaign. While football season is a critical focus, and we will strategically plan events around home and away games, it will be a goal of this position to utilize all athletics contests and teams throughout the year. Work requirements include weekend hours and travel in support of both football and other varsity sports.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Develop and implement a comprehensive plan for Athletics Advancement events and activities. Partner with Athletics Advancement to determine objectives, event requirements, and budget (including underwriting) that can be converted into a strategic plan annually.

Plan and execute all Athletics Advancement engagement, cultivation, and stewardship events with a significant focus and coordination around football season, ACC and NCAA championships, as well as Jack Swarbrick's travel schedule. Activities include Ask Jack events, away game receptions and dinners, recognition events for athletic donors, athletic dedications, and more.

Assist with additional cultivation events, including hosting donors in game day premium spaces in the Notre Dame Stadium, bowl games, Wall Street events, Giving Society activities, and events surrounding the traveling production of Sorin: A Notre Dame Story.
