This is your chance to bring innovative ideas to life, connect with visionary donors, and craft partnerships that will accelerate Luddy’s groundbreaking research, world-class teaching, and far-reaching community impact. We’re looking for a leader who thrives on possibility and momentum. In this role, you’ll build and strengthen relationships with alumni, donors, and volunteers while fostering a school-wide culture of philanthropy. Along with your team, you’ll have the opportunity to design and execute bold fundraising campaigns, create pathways for faculty and student engagement, and champion Luddy’s mission to change the world through technology and innovation.
