Job Details

The American Enterprise Institute seeks an outgoing, entrepreneurial, goal-oriented individual to build relationships with donors and prospects and to generate major gifts for AEI.

Responsibilities include: developing cultivation and solicitation strategies for individual donors and prospects; establishing a portfolio of individuals to be cultivated personally and by AEI's senior management; and traveling regularly to meet with donors and prospects.

This position requires high-level interpersonal and relationship-building skills-especially an understanding of how to leverage networks and connections among people. The major gifts officer must also demonstrate an ability to prioritize activities and execute at a fast pace. Strong writing and verbal skills, and an energetic and entrepreneurial spirit are essential. A deep understanding of AEI's mission and an interest in public policy are also required. A track record (5+ years of experience) of successful, high-level fundraising and face-to-face asks is preferred, and knowledge of capital campaign fundraising is a plus.

AEI's development department is collegial, fast-paced, and mission-driven. This is an excellent position for someone who enjoys building relationships and having a direct impact on an organization committed to strengthening the free enterprise system and building a freer and safer world. Qualified candidates should submit an online application to www.aei.org/jobs/ , complete with a resume, cover letter, and 500-word writing sample.

Company

The American Enterprise Institute is a community of scholars and supporters committed to expanding liberty, increasing individual opportunity and strengthening free enterprise. AEI pursues these unchanging ideals through independent thinking, open debate, reasoned argument, facts and the highest standards of research and exposition. Without regard for politics or prevailing fashion, we dedicate our work to a more prosperous, safer and more democratic nation and world.
