Description de poste

Make a meaningful difference in local health care

Are you a curious, analytical thinker who loves turning information into insight — and insight into impact?

The Waterloo Regional Health Network Foundation (WRHNF) is seeking a strategic, detail-oriented Advancement Researcher to drive prospect intelligence, pipeline growth, and data strategy in support of our transformational capital campaign and philanthropic priorities.

This is a pivotal role that strengthens our ability to inspire generosity and secure the resources needed to shape the future of health care for our community.

Key responsibilities

  • Conduct in-depth biographical, financial, philanthropic, and relational research to identify, qualify, and prioritize prospects for major gifts, leadership gifts, corporate partnerships, and planned giving.
  • Analyze wealth indicators, giving capacity, and affinity to build accurate capacity ratings and engagement recommendations.
  • Prepare high-quality donor briefs, research profiles, briefing notes, and strategy memos for senior leadership, fundraisers, physicians, and campaign volunteers.
  • Monitor news, corporate activity, real estate, business holdings, and community involvement to identify timely cultivation opportunities.
  • Partner closely with fundraisers to build a robust donor pipeline for the new hospital campaign.
  • Support portfolio optimization through moves-management recommendations, proactive prospecting, and identifying prospects aligned with cancer, cardiac, mental health, kids’ care, and regional priorities.
  • Map networks and family connections of high-value prospects and donors to support peer-to-peer cultivation and volunteer engagement.
  • Conduct research to support campaign planning, including benchmarking, environmental scanning, and community philanthropic trends.

Data, analytics & reporting

  • Maintain accurate data within Raiser’s Edge, ensuring timely updates to ratings, strategies, prospect stage, and donor intelligence.
  • Produce dashboards and reports that inform leadership decisions, campaign readiness, and portfolio performance.
  • Track giving patterns, likelihood models, and capacity bands to guide fundraising strategies.
  • Implement best practices in data governance, privacy, and ethical research standards (APRA, AFP, Imagine Canada compliance).
  • Work cross‑functionally with fundraisers, events, communications, and senior leadership to ensure research supports organizational priorities.
  • Participate in campaign meetings and strategy sessions, offering evidence‑based insights.
  • Contribute to a culture of philanthropy, curiosity, creativity, accountability, and continuous learning.
  • What we’re looking for

    (Adapted with required research competencies)

  • Post‑secondary education in library science, information studies, business, nonprofit management, analytics, or related field.
  • Minimum3–5 yearsexperience in prospect research, advancement services, campaign support, or fundraising analytics (hospital or higher‑ed preferred).
  • Strong analytical thinker with demonstrated experience in wealth screens, research methodologies, synthesizing complex data, and connecting patterns and disparate relationships.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to translate dense information into clear, actionable insights.
  • High attention to detail, discretion, and sound judgement with confidential information.
  • Comfortable with digital tools, CRMs—experience with Raiser’s Edge strongly preferred.
  • Adaptable, curious, resourceful, and self‑directed.
  • Experience supporting a major capital campaign.
  • Familiarity with iWave, DonorSearch, CharityCAN, Windfall, or comparable tools.
  • Knowledge of Ontario philanthropy, hospital fundraising, and major gift cycles.
  • APRA membership or CFRE‑related learning.
  • What we offer

  • Salary range : $62,000 – $72,500, commensurate with experience and success.
  • Vacation : 4 weeks vacation plus 4 summer wellness days and additional float days.
  • Benefits : Comprehensive benefits, HOOPP defined‑benefit pension, computer and mobile device provided.
  • Work culture : We offer a hybrid and flexible work environment, with regular in‑person team strategy sessions and a minimum of one day per week in the office to support collaboration and connection.
  • A mission‑driven team where your voice matters and your professional growth is supported.
  • The process

    We’re looking for someone who brings heart, hustle, and humility. If that sounds like you — apply in the way that best showcases your passion and strengths. Whether that’s a traditional resume and cover letter or something more creative (video, portfolio, or personal story), we’re excited to meet you.

    We are committed to barrier‑free recruitment and selection processes and encourage applicants to inform us of any accommodations they may require.
