LOIS L. LINDAUER SEARCHES is proud to partner with Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in its search for the Senior Director of Development and Alumni Relations. Tufts University is a private research university with campuses in Medford, Boston and Grafton, Massachusetts. For more than ten years, it has been consistently ranked among the top 30 universities and colleges in the nation by US News & World Report. Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM) offers one of the most forward-looking educational environments in dental medicine worldwide. Located in the heart of Tufts health sciences campus in downtown Boston, the school shares its location and resources with the Tufts University School of Medicine, the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences. Since its founding in 1868, Tufts Dental School has been committed to excellence in patient care, education, research, and community service. TUSDM completed its strategic planning process in July 2013, creating its 2020 Vision! focused on clinical excellence, collaboration, communication, and civic engagement. The plan gives the school a guiding, but flexible, pathway as it educates a new generation of dentists who will also have critical thinking and communications skills, a deep understanding of professionalism and the collaborative mindset needed in an increasingly interprofessional health-care landscape. The Senior Director of Development and Alumni Relations is responsible for leading the School of Dental Medicine’s Advancement program in its entirety. S/he plays a critical role in expanding significantly the revenues, communications and programs in support of the School of Dental Medicine. S/he works closely with the Dean to design and implement a comprehensive fund raising strategy with the goal of increasing and diversifying philanthropic support and constituent involvement. S/he implements and monitors activity standards as defined by University Advancement and is a strong contributor and peer within the leadership of the division. The incumbent will recruit and manage a team of frontline fund raisers, program managers, and administrative support staff, develop strategic plans to guide the Advancement program over time, prepare annual tactical plans outlining actions in support of fund raising and relationship-building goals, report on program progress, and represent the Dental Advancement program before various internal and external audiences. The Senior Director will also be directly responsible for the cultivation, solicitation and stewardship of leadership donors to the School of Dental Medicine at Tufts.
