The Office of Advancement directly supports UNCSA’s mission and strategic priorities by building meaningful relationships with a variety of constituents and developing opportunities at all levels of alumni, volunteer, and philanthropic engagement. The Office of Advancement works closely with the UNCSA Foundation, which provides oversight of philanthropic gifts to UNCSA, including gift processing and records management. This is an exciting, fast-paced team made up of talented colleagues who are passionate about their work, strive for excellence, support and care about each other, and work to embody the values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
The Annual Giving and Program Manager position is a new role that will play an important part in the success of the Advancement team. Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Development, Annual & Family Giving, the Annual Giving and Program Manager will provide direct support for our giving programs, boards, donor recognition and volunteer groups, as well provide support for the annual Days of Giving and brick program. This position is also responsible for targeted promotions and appeals for annual and leadership annual giving, parent giving, planned giving, anniversary reminders, donor acquisition and renewal.
The role requires exceptional organizational and time management skills, and the successful candidate must be able to work independently and prioritize in a quickly changing environment.
