Associate Director, Principal Gifts Stewardship

Development and Alumni Relations (DAR) supports Johns Hopkins’ focus on research, teaching and patient care, and its role as a national and global leader in higher education. We create and foster enduring relationships that result in advocacy and philanthropic support for Johns Hopkins University & Medicine—strengthening the institution through partnerships with donors, alumni, volunteer leaders, faculty, students, staff, and patients.

Johns Hopkins University supports a flexible work model which includes four different work modalities. This role has a hybrid work arrangement with an onsite presence of 3 days per week. The manager will confirm the team’s core onsite days where the majority/all team members will work in the office. Employees who travel on university business can count those days towards their onsite days.

In preparation for the next comprehensive campaign, the School of Nursing (SON) and Bloomberg School of Public Health (BSPH) aim to establish a new joint position focused on the stewardship of principal level ($1M+) and select major ($100K+) donors. The purpose of this dual-reporting position is to ensure a strategic and timely stewardship plan year-round for each of the top donors of each institution, thereby deepening the stewardship of these important stakeholders in alignment with the mission of each institution.

The Associate Director of Principal Gifts Stewardship supports the planning, management and execution of individual, forward-thinking, creative stewardship plans for engaging principal-level gift donors and prospects for SON and BSPH.

The position reports to the Director of Development (SON) and Director of Stewardship and Development Communications (BSPH).

The Associate Director of Principal Gifts Stewardship will be responsible for coordinating the following programs and activities:

• Work closely with SON and BSPH leadership, faculty, administrators, and students to develop and implement stewardship plans of principal level donors.
• Create comprehensive and innovative reporting materials to demonstrate impact.
  
• These plans will aim to steward, celebrate, thank, and engage individual donors in activities that create a positive donor experience, providing a timely overview of the impact of their gift, and steward toward future philanthropy.
  
• These activities will be tailored to align with individual donor preference, customized and personalized according to the circumstances and the donors/recipient’s relationship to SON/BSPH.
  
• Develop and implement efficient and effective systems for managing these stewardship strategies/projects which will include such activities as gift announcements, celebration events, anniversaries, recognition displays, customized reports, thank you gifts, opportunistic communications, and engagement opportunities.
  
• Create and execute strategies to collect and maintain longitudinal data on cohort/networks of scholars (eg, SON Conway Scholars/BSPH Health Equity Scholars/CLF-Lerner Fellows).
  
• Monitor SON, BSPH, and JHU publications and websites for topics of interest to major and principal gift donors and proactively suggest and prepare information for donors on behalf of the Dean(s) and/or the Associate Dean(s).
