This is a large public university operation with a significant number of gifts and funds under management.
As a senior leader in Advancement Services, the incumbent provides leadership, direction and significant expertise for ensuring incoming charitable gifts are solicited in proposals, and documented in gift agreements, in accordance with UC, UCSD, and IRS policy, and industry best practice. This includes oversight for review of proposals and gift agreements, and ensuring naming and endowed policy levels are adhered to, and proper leadership review and approval for gifts occurs up to and including the Chancellor and the UC President's office. After the gifts are received, the incumbent provides leadership, direction and significant expertise for the creation and maintenance of comprehensive donor acknowledgment and gift/fund stewardship systems. The incumbent creates and implements enhanced programs and outreach to provide highly tailored narrative and financial stewardship and impact reports, and stewardship strategies for donor cohorts at all levels of giving, including a very significant annual reporting process for endowments and very high level gifts. The incumbent oversees processes to provide special reports, tracking of matching and other similar financial requirements to meet donor requirements.

This includes developing and implementing creative, integrated, and highly-collaborative donor stewardship for key donor cohorts; defining and implementing best practices for donor stewardship reporting and impact; developing and reporting on outcome metrics to provide high-level tracking, coordination and evaluation of donor stewardship program effectiveness and efficiencies. Communications and reporting to donors are often on behalf of the Chancellor or Vice Chancellor Advancement, or other high-level campus leadership, including the UC San Diego Foundation Board of Trustees. The incumbent will partner with Advancement leadership, the UC San Diego Office of Donor Experience and Engagement, Directors of Development, and other Advancement colleagues to implement donor stewardship programming.
