At the intersection of generosity and healthcare innovation, the Executive Advisor, Transformational Gifts plays a critical leadership role in advancing our most ambitious philanthropic goals. This is not a traditional frontline fundraising role, although the Executive Advisor manages a portfolio of donors. It is a strategic, highly collaborative position focused on activating relationships with ultra-wealth net worth individuals/families, empowering leaders and aligning donor passions with institutional vision at the $10M+ giving level. As a trusted partner to executive leadership, professional advisors and relationship managers at all levels, this individual will help cultivate, shape solicit and steward some of the most significant giving opportunities in our organization’s history.

2. Transformational Gift Strategy: Partner with internal teams to design, refine, and drive strategies for engaging individuals, families and foundations with the capacity and intent to make transformational gifts ($10M+), ensuring alignment with organizational priorities and impact goals.

3. Consulting and Capacity Building: Provide strategic internal consulting to relationship managers from across the organization - regardless of title or department – who are connected to transformational prospects.

Plan meaningful engagement opportunities for virtual and on campus experiences that deepen their connection to the mission and demonstrates impact. When possible, leverage their networks thoughtfully and strategically to identify and cultivate new transformational relationships, supporting peer to peer influence and expanding the pipeline of $10M+ prospects.
6. Narrative & Case Co-Creation: Work cross-functionally to co-create custom proposals and transformational investment opportunities that reflect the donor’s vision, values, and desired legacy – while advancing our mission in measurable, meaningful ways. 7. Strategic Initiatives & Campaign Leadership: Play a key role in the development and execution of high-profile philanthropic initiatives, including milestone institutional anniversaries, enterprise-wide campaigns, and research-focused funding priorities.
