Whether at the Putney Vermontcampus, through LC Online, or at our west coast Success Center, Landmark provides an intentionally designed, resource-rich academic and student life model yet is traditional in most ways. We seek an experienced fundraising professional with a proven track record to join our Institutional Advancement team as Major Gifts Director. The Director is responsible for developing and implementing strategies for cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of donors with a focus on higher-level gifts for campaign and annual giving.
A generous sign-on bonus is available, and a flex schedule is also possible.

Our location in beautiful southeastern Vermont provides the setting for an engaged and inclusive college community with the safety of a small, rural campus. The College is minutes away from ski resorts and other outdoor activities, and within driving distance to cities such as Boston and New York City. A position with Landmark College is more than just a job - it is an opportunity to work in a like-minded, dedicated community, and make a difference in the lives of often overlooked students who have the capabilities to change our world for the better.
The Director must possess an in-depth knowledge of development issues and opportunities, a working understanding of fundraising systems and data-associated elements, and other aspects of fund-raising processes, chief among them strong relationship-related instincts and qualities. Travel on behalf of the College, either alone or with the President, is a requirement. A bachelor's degree is required.

Company
While many colleges offer special programs for students with learning disabilities (LD) and other learning challenges, Landmark College is one of the only accredited colleges in the United States designed exclusively for students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism.
Landmark College’s mission is to transform the way students learn, educators teach, and the public thinks about education. We provide highly accessible approaches to learning that empower individuals who learn differently to exceed their aspirations and to achieve their greatest potential. Through the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, the College aims to extend its mission across the nation and throughout the world.
Students at Landmark College get far more personal, directed assistance than at traditional colleges that often offer a grab bag of accommodations for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, or autism. Students at Landmark College receive individualized attention from classroom instructors—in courses tailored to meet their educational needs. This is evidenced by our exceptionally low student/faculty ratio of 6:1. Our experienced advisors meet frequently with students to review and guide their progress. In addition to advising, a wide array of other academic support is integral to a Landmark College education, including executive function coaching, educational technology support, and the services of our centers for academic support. All instructors are trained professional educators, not teaching assistants or peer tutors.
Landmark College is located in Putney, Vermont, in the southeastern part of the state. The campus is two and a half hours from Boston and four hours from New York. Southern Vermont also has a great deal to offer. Within half an hour of campus, faculty, staff and students can find amenities more often associated with an urban environment, including movie theaters, shops, restaurants, live music, art, and theater. Members of the campus community who love the outdoors will find world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking just minutes from campus.
Our Office of Human Resources strives to ensure that we are an employer of choice, attracting and retaining uniquely talented individuals able to advance the College’s position as the college of choice for students who learn differently. We are committed to a philosophy that recognizes each person as an individual, worthy of respect, trust, dignity and fair treatment, and we apply these tenets to serve, support, and value all members of our community.
