Position Summary

Primary Duty

The Senior Development Advisor is a front-line fundraiser responsible for qualifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding a portfolio of major-gift donors and prospects capable of five- and six-figure commitments. Reporting to the Managing Director of Development & Communications, this role leads the full gift cycle for a defined portfolio within the Intellectual Builders donor community and the corporate giving segment, balancing sustained management of active relationships with active qualification and development of new prospects. Core areas of ownership include portfolio and moves management, major-gift solicitation and closing, corporate relationship development, and accurate maintenance of the portfolio's pipeline data.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Portfolio Management & Donor Engagement

Manages a portfolio of 100–150 major-gift prospects and donors, with primary accountability for qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship across the full gift cycle for five- and six-figure commitments.
Develops and implements individualized cultivation and solicitation plans for each relationship, aligned with donor interests and IHS programmatic priorities.
Builds and manages a personal solicitation calendar, conducting donor visits, presenting funding opportunities, and closing five- and six-figure gifts and multi-year commitments.
Participates in the moves management program and portfolio review cadence maintained across the development team.

Prospect Development

Identifies and qualifies new prospects and initiates relationships from first contact, including a substantial volume of direct outreach to prospects not yet active in the portfolio.
Owns relationship development within the Intellectual Builders donor community and establishes sustained staff ownership of the corporate giving segment as a dedicated internal portfolio.

Cross-Functional Coordination & Executive Engagement

Coordinates with Development Operations on pipeline data, projections, gift processing, and acknowledgments; with Portfolio Management on moves strategy and executive engagement requests; and with the Foundations team where individual or corporate relationships intersect institutional funders.
Partners with Communications & Marketing on donor-facing proposals, cases for support, and materials, and with Programs and program scholars on intellectual content, site visits, and donor engagement.
Engages executive leadership and scholars for high-level donor relationships and key commitments in accordance with established engagement criteria, retaining ownership of relationships and decisions below that threshold.

Portfolio Administration & Reporting

Creates and maintains accurate, current records of all portfolio activity in Salesforce, including opportunities, contact reports, cultivation status, and solicitation plans.
Supports pipeline planning and gift forecasting through timely documentation and portfolio review participation.

Supervisory Responsibilities

This role has no supervisory responsibilities.

Required Qualifications

5+ years of front-line major gift fundraising experience, including a documented record of closing five- and six-figure commitments.
Demonstrated experience qualifying prospects and initiating donor relationships through direct, cold outreach.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with demonstrated ability to engage donors across diverse professional and ideological backgrounds.
Experience with CRM platforms (Salesforce), including independent creation and maintenance of one's own opportunities, activities, and contact reports.
Strong organizational skills and demonstrated ability to manage a complex, multi-stage national portfolio with consistent follow-through.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in corporate or institutional giving.
Experience fundraising within a think tank, university, or policy-oriented nonprofit.
Familiarity with moves management methodology and portfolio review practices.
Knowledge of and appreciation for the classical liberal tradition.

Working Conditions

Travel

IHS operates remotely; this role requires approximately 2-3 weeks per year of travel for organization-wide staff gatherings and on-site collaboration.

In addition, this role includes donor-related travel of approximately 30–40% to support donor and prospect visits, cultivation events, and institutional engagement activities.

Schedule / Hours

Full-time, Monday – Friday, 9:00a.m. – 5:00p.m. ET.

Physical Requirements / Work Environment

This role is primarily a sedentary, office/remote role. Essential physical functions include prolonged periods working at a computer, frequent use of a keyboard and screen, and the ability to communicate and exchange information verbally and in writing. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

During in-person programs and events, this role also requires standing and walking for extended periods and occasionally lifting, carrying, or moving materials of up to 20 pounds (e.g., event supplies and setup).

To apply, qualified candidates must submit the following materials:

About IHS:

The Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) is a think network advancing the principles and practices of freedom in the academy, public policy, and civil society.

Founded in 1961, IHS believes that the liberal tradition has yielded unprecedented freedom and human flourishing. And in this moment, when the forces of illiberalism on both the left and right are gaining ground at an alarming pace, our vision is to spark a new spirit of liberal freedom.

Our Work:

Cultivating a pool of intellectual talent for partners in policy, civil society, philanthropy, and the academy through $1.5 million in fellowship and career development programs.
Catalyzing scholarship and academic networks to strengthen the fields of foundational and applied research that matter most to a free society.
Equipping freedom-focused research centers, think tanks, foundations, and civil society organizations with the research and experts they need to maximize their impact in policy and in communities across the country.

IHS Benefits:

We have a flexible, professional, open office environment that encourages innovation and entrepreneurship and provides substantial opportunity for professional growth. Salary is competitive and will be commensurate with experience. IHS provides exceptional benefits to all employees, including health and dental insurance coverage (which includes paying 100% of the health and dental insurance premium for individuals), health savings accounts, long-term disability and life insurance, a 403(b) retirement savings program, a parking permit and 12 free tuition credit hours annually at George Mason University.
