    This campaign is a defining moment in the Branksome story, to support the next generation of creative and innovative thinkers and help them realize the role they will play as trailblazers, problem solvers, thought leaders and change makers.

The SDO will play a pivotal role in growing every aspect of the Major Gift Program, and will contribute to achieving our Campaign goals.

The successful candidate will have previous experience in Major Gift planning, strategy, cultivation and solicitation activities as well as a demonstrated awareness of the donor relationship cycle. You will possess superior verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work with and support volunteers.
