True North

As the largest post-secondary institution in northern Alberta, Northwestern Polytechnic is a natural point of convergence for knowledge, skills, creativity, and collaboration. Striving to spark and empower success, NWP’s mission is geared towards both individual and collective progress. NWP offers a wide variety of engaging and in-demand academic programs in certificates, diplomas, apprenticeships, and degrees. We exist wholeheartedly for the domestic and international students who call our campuses home, the distinctive communities, and industries we serve, and the staff and faculty who honour us with their expertise and insights every day. While our potential as one of Alberta’s newest polytechnics is ever-growing, we recognize the importance of having authentic and highly effective contributors by our side. We are currently recruiting individuals who are inspired by opportunity, driven by results, and aligned to NWP’s core values of being responsive, innovative, and connected.

The Role

Reporting to the Manager, Development & Alumni, the Development Officer is key in supporting the successful implementation of NWP’s philanthropic development strategy. This includes providing support with fundraising initiatives and donor relations efforts aimed at nurturing and strengthening long-term relationships with donors, alumni, sponsors, volunteers, community members, industry partners and other key stakeholders.

The Officer will foster a culture of philanthropy that enhances donor retention and deepens donor affinity with the institution. The primary goal of the Development Officer is to create meaningful engagement opportunities that promote philanthropy, volunteerism, and integration with NWP.

This position offers high visibility and an opportunity to inspire confidence in achieving NWP’s strategic goals through active engagement. This Officer will be responsible for implementing strategic relationship-building initiatives to further advance these objectives.

The successful candidate must be passionate about cultivating strong relationships with stakeholders.
The Development officer will contribute to achieving NWP's ambitious strategic plans as part of a highly engaged and dynamic team.

Responsibilities of the position include, among others:

  • Coordinate all aspects of donor engagement programs, activities, and events.
  • Work with the Manager, Development & Alumni, and team, to create, coordinate, plan, and implement fundraising activities, including annual giving, payroll deductions, grant writing, and other fundraising initiatives.
  • Work with all External Relations departments to determine unit communications goals and strategies and promote, create, and execute philanthropic development activities.
  • Coordinate the recognition and stewardship programs for alumni, donors, and sponsors.
  • Thoroughly prepare and carefully review all documents, accounts, and related materials to ensure that both new submissions and existing records are reviewed accurately and handled efficiently.

What We Offer

Finding your fit in one of our specialized schools or departments means a bright future with competitive compensation, attractive benefits packages, reliable networks, high quality of life, and unparalleled learning community experiences. If you are looking to transform the post-secondary landscape with polytechnic education, research, and partnerships, Northwestern Polytechnic is your employer of choice.
