About this Position

Although Mount Royal University's history dates back more than 100 years, our transition from college to university is relatively recent, bringing with it unique and exciting fund development opportunities. We began our last $250 million transformative campaign as a college but finished it as a university. The new strategic plan for the University places a priority focus on fundraising and sets very ambitious targets to triple the total value of scholarships available to students, more than double the size of the endowment portfolio and increase alumni philanthropy exponentially in the coming years. A new and exciting campus master plan will guide the construction of new facilities on campus for the next 20 years.

Reporting to the Manager, Information Systems & Data Management, the Senior Prospect Researcher will be responsible for utilizing sector best practices as well as innovative thinking to maximize the strategic growth and sustainability of the Mount Royal University prospect pool. This role provides an experienced understanding of prospect research to the Foundation and is crucial to the innovation and development of prospect management processes and portfolio management. In addition to prospect research, the Senior Prospect Researcher will play an advisory role for junior members of the team by helping to develop skills, strategic thinking, and by reviewing research.

The Senior Prospect Researcher will also work closely and collaboratively with the Foundation fundraising team to evaluate portfolios on an ongoing basis, develop prospect engagement strategies, and make recommendations on portfolio management.
