JOB SUMMARY

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the position will be responsible for conducting the full range of activities required to prepare, submit, and manage 75 – 100 grant proposals per year for foundation and corporate support.  The individual will manage all aspects of Doheny Eye Institute’s (“DEI”) foundation and corporate grant program.  As a key member of the Development team, she or he is responsible for securing funding to realize the mission and vision of the Institute.  She or he will work with leadership, faculty, and staff to develop and produce proposals and reports to ensure timely cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of grants.  This individual is also responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with foundation and corporate representatives.  She or he will create a compliance tracking system and compile reports to demonstrate DEI’s results and impact.

Doheny Eye Institute‘s mission remains “to further the conservation, improvement and restoration of human eyesight.”  That unifying purpose rooted in Carrie Estelle Doheny’s own vision loss has made us a global leader in vision science research.  For more than 20 years, US News & World Report has ranked us among the top ophthalmology programs, and today we remain among the top five in the nation.  This distinction is based on the advanced research and clinical expertise of DEI scientists and physicians.  Doheny scientists are changing how people see—and how they think about the future of vision.

The affiliation between Doheny Eye Institute and UCLA Stein Eye Institute combines the strength, reputation, and distinction of two of the nation’s top eye institutions to advance vision research, education, and patient care in Southern California.
