Mount Auburn Hospital
Development Officer

The Development Officer manages an assigned group of donor prospects and a broad range of projects and activities in support of the fundraising objectives within the hospital’s fast-paced Development Office.

Reporting to the Director of Development, the Development Officer is responsible for the cultivation, solicitation and stewardship of individual prospects within selected communities that Mount Auburn serves.

The Officer also manages the cultivation of prospects and donors within specific affinity groups, including the Hoffman Breast Center and the Barron Center for Men’s Health, working with the clinical staff in those areas.

The Officer organizes events for the cultivation of donors and prospects, including clinical presentations on the hospital campus and friendraiser/cultivation events in the assigned communities.

The Officer collaborates with development colleagues on a range of other initiatives, which may include special events, communications and grant support.

The ideal candidate will have 4-5 years of development experience, including two years in major gifts, preferably within a health care environment.   The individual must be goal-oriented, have strong strategic and communication skills, high energy, initiative and creativity, as well as an ability to work collaboratively and flexibly, often within tight deadlines.

Founded in 1886, Mount Auburn is a 200-bed teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School.  It provides a broad range of inpatient and outpatient services at its nine-acre campus in Cambridge and through an extensive network of clinical sites in the surrounding communities.  The hospital has experienced significant growth in recent years, with a net income of $24.6 million on revenues of $275 million in 2007.  To accommodate this growth and to meet the region’s future healthcare needs, Mount Auburn has recently completed a $24 million capital campaign to help fund a new patient care center, which will be opening later this year.
