Los Angeles, CA

UCLA, one of the nation's foremost public research universities, seeks an associate vice chancellor for development to lead a program currently ranked among the ten most productive in the nation. Raising more than $300 million annually, having completed a $3 billion campaign, and working toward another comprehensive effort of similar scope under the leadership of an exciting new chancellor, UCLA is poised to solidify, indeed to enhance, its position as an industry leader.

UCLA benefits from a highly integrated and remarkably balanced approach to external relations that emphasizes close cooperation and collaboration between the central administration and the academic and paracurricular units. The new associate vice chancellor will work diligently to build the close, symbiotic relationships both internally and externally that leverage resources and lead to ever-increasing productivity.

Accomplishing this will require a seasoned and exceptionally able development professional, one with both the managerial acumen and fund-raising skills necessary to lead an accomplished and veteran staff in word and deed. He or she will be a successful and accomplished strategist at the prospect, department, and divisional level, one who is dedicated to an integrated approach to external relations. Above all, the associate vice chancellor must be truly immersed in higher education, with a strong sense of and dedication to its future and a particular affinity for public research universities.
