Job Description

Deerfield Associates is pleased to announce a new search on behalf of Greenwich Country Day School, located in Greenwich, Connecticut, for a Senior Major Gifts Officer. 

GCDS is an independent, co-educational day school with a current enrollment of over 1400 students in grades N-12, and a faculty and staff of over 350. Greenwich Country Day School seeks an accomplished, relationship-driven Senior Major Gifts Officer to secure transformational philanthropic support during a historic moment in the School’s trajectory. Reporting directly to Anabel Pérez Wills, Head of Advancement, the SMGO will manage a robust portfolio of donors and prospects, primarily at the six- and seven-figure levels. The Senior Major Gifts Officer will also cultivate new philanthropic relationships. This is a largely external-facing position, requiring travel both locally in the tri-state area and nationally. Doug Cooney, who is heading up the search, adds, “we are very pleased to be working with Anabel and GCDS, a new client (#165) to our search firm, on this excellent opportunity which is available immediately upon identifying the candidate of choice.”
