Ursuline Academy of Dallas seeks a highly accomplished fundraising professional to partner with the President and Board of Trustees, lead a staff of eight, and build levels of philanthropic support for the school. Reporting to the President, the Chief Development Officer develops, implements, and supervises appropriate fundraising strategies to meet the financial goals of the Academy consistent with the strategic plan. Along with the President, s/he is responsible for strengthening a positive public perception of Ursuline in the community, communicating the mission and objectives of the School, and obtaining the human and financial support necessary to ensure a strong and vibrant future.
