The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the
Translational Genomics Research Institute Foundation (TGen) in the
search for a Senior Director of Development.
Reporting to the Vice President of Individual Giving, the Senior
Director of Development will ensure fundraising success by serving
as a subject matter expert, a professional role model, a program
architect, and an identified team and program leader. The Senior
Director of Development will be responsible for securing
individual, corporate, and foundation gifts with an emphasis on
gifts of $100,000 and above through sustainable, mission-focused
cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of donors. The Senior
Director of Development will employ and model key processes and
programs that support an office-wide focus on collaboration,
efficiencies, and metrics-based performance outcomes. The Senior
Director of Development will be a part of TGen's evolution into a
perpetually campaign-ready, donor-centered, leading industry
program in support of the joint mission of TGen and City of Hope.
Through the development and implementation of best practices, the
Senior Director of Development will contribute to TGen’s overall
focus on a best in class fundraising operation. The Senior Director
of Development will serve as a senior member of the Office of
Philanthropy team, playing an important role in the growth of a
more sustainable and rigor based philanthropic program.
The Translational Genomics Research Institute is dedicated to
conducting groundbreaking research with life changing results. TGen
is focused on helping patients with neurological disorders, cancer,
diabetes, and infectious diseases through cutting edge,
translational, bench-to-bedside research. TGen physicians and
scientists work to unravel the genetic components of both common
and rare complex diseases in adults and children. Working with
collaborators in the scientific and medical communities worldwide,
TGen makes a substantial contribution to its patients through
efficiency and effectiveness of the translational process.
TGen has joined forces with City of Hope to accelerate the speed
with which scientists and medical staff convert research
discoveries into cures for patients. The alliance is based on a
simple premise: City of Hope provides a state-of-the-art clinical
setting in which to advance genomic breakthroughs made by TGen. It
is a collaboration that plays to the strengths of each
organization. City of Hope is a pioneer in the fields of bone
marrow transplantation, hematologic malignancies, select solid
tumors, and diabetes. TGen, meanwhile, is a leader in applying
genomic analysis and bioinformatics to drug development. Together,
they are transforming the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of
cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Raising the philanthropic resources to fuel leading-edge research,
compassionate clinical care, and the advancement of biomedical
education and training is a vital component of the TGen/City of
Hope model of success. The two philanthropic foundations
collaborate on philanthropic goals, and the Chief Development
Officer of TGen Foundation reports to the Chief Philanthropy
Officer at City of Hope. The shared culture is one of
collaboration, accountability, and activation.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of consecutive experience in a nonprofit environment,
with experience in a complex health care environment preferred,
including at least two years of supervisory experience. All
applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of the
Translational Genomics Research Institute Foundation – to
positively impact the lives of patients and their families, as well
as the responsibilities and qualifications presented in the
prospectus.
