    Departmental Overview

    Departmental Overview
    There are many reasons why the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley is ranked among the top three engineering schools in the world. We offer a dynamic, interdisciplinary, hands-on education. We challenge conventional thinking and value creativity and imagination. And our students and faculty are driven by social commitment and want to change the world. In the classroom, the research lab or the design studio, our community is both welcoming and tightly knit. Whether they're pursuing groundbreaking research or teaching students, our faculty members are engaged and accessible.

    The College of Engineering Development team supports Berkeley Engineering's mission through marketing, communications, and private fundraising efforts. During the most recent fiscal year (2022) the College of Engineering raised $152M in private gifts and is consistently among the top fundraising units within the university. Our alumni, friends, foundations and corporate partners are deeply committed to our tradition of excellence and give back generously to the college.

    Position Overview
    Reporting to the Senior Director of Development & Corporate Partnerships, the Assistant Director of Corporate & Foundation Relations supports the College's corporate and foundation relations program, serving as a key member of the team that builds and maintains top tier institutional partnerships for the college. Responsibilities include proposal development and grant writing, communications with key corporate and foundation funders, preparing briefings and organizing logistics for campus visits, creating strategy for the enhancement and expansion of our College-wide Corporate Partners Program, and maintaining program communications such as the website and other external facing marketing pieces.

    At Berkeley Engineering, we educate and prepare engineering leaders who will create our future. While interest in STEM topics is desirable, a technical background is not required. We believe enthusiasm for innovation, entrepreneurship and a curiosity about engineering's impact on the public good are key ingredients for success in this position.

    This is an incredible time to join Berkeley as a key member of the College of Engineering Development team. We are among the top fundraising universities (public or private) in the country, and are in the midst of a $6 billion campaign that is set to complete in 2023.
