Position Information
The Senior Director of Development is the chief advancement officer
supporting fundraising efforts for UCR University Extension. The
Extension divisions of the University of California are unique
units in the 10-campus system, focusing primarily on non-degree
credentials-especially Professional Certificates and Postgraduate
Diplomas-for learners of all ages. UCR University Extension's
programs serve high schoolers through academic credit courses,
college students with transfer courses and add-on credentials, and
working adults who are looking to change or move up in their
careers. University Extension also serves adults who have some
college but no degree through a state-funded degree completion
program. University Extension's programs span business, design,
education, healthcare, law, sustainability, and technology and
programs are geared towards both domestic and international
students. University Extension has two physical locations: one near
the campus of UCR in Riverside and the other at the Palm Desert
Center in Palm Desert. Established in 2005, the UCR Palm Desert
Center serves as a base for several UCR research programs,
international academic conferences, continuing education and a
variety of public service programs, and is a resource to extend the
reach of UCR in the Coachella Valley. A key priority and focus for
the Snr. Director of Development, will be expanding UCR's presence
in the Coachella Valley by actively engaging in the local
community, and building a network that will help drive advancement
efforts in the desert region. Under the general direction of the
Snr. Executive Director for Constituency Programs, and in close
collaboration with the Dean of UCR Extension and University
Extension's Senior Leadership team, the Snr. Director will develop
and execute long and short-term strategies to grow the UCR
Extension donor pipeline and secure annual and major gifts that
will benefit endowments, programs, and support student success. The
Senior Director will manage a portfolio of donors and prospective
donors and will travel locally, statewide and occasionally
internationally, for qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and
stewardship purposes. The Senior Director will arrange appropriate
