Major Gifts Officer

The Cambridge School of Weston (CSW) seeks a dynamic and mission-driven Major Gifts Officer (MGO) to join a collaborative development team during an exciting moment in the school’s history.

With a $15 million comprehensive campaign well underway and more than two-thirds of the goal already secured, the MGO will play a key role in deepening relationships with donors and securing philanthropic support that advances CSW’s mission.

The MGO will manage a portfolio of approximately 75–90 prospects and be responsible for conducting at least 120 individual donor meetings annually with alumni, families, and friends of the school.

This is a frontline fundraising position that requires occasional travel, primarily in New England and occasionally further travel for special targeted efforts.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about CSW’s progressive education mission, experienced in cultivating and soliciting five- and six-figure gifts, and energized by in-person engagement with prospects and donors and also by ownership of special projects.

CSW’s $15 million campaign is built around pillars that reflect the school’s mission and aspirations:

• Opportunity and Access: Expanding financial aid to ensure students have access to the CSW experience.
• Campus Renovations: Transforming our East Quad building into a vibrant learning and gathering space, including as a hub for math and robotics, and planning for the enhancement of our art building to foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

• Passionate about CSW’s progressive education mission.
• Experienced in cultivating and soliciting five- and six-figure gifts.
• Energized by in-person engagement with prospects and donors.
• Ability to manage a portfolio of approximately 75–90 prospects.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
