FaithSearch Partners has been retained by Charleston Southern University to conduct a search for a Senior Vice President for University Advancement—a cabinet-level role for a seasoned advancement leader who is energized by both mission and momentum.
Based in the beautiful and booming Charleston, South Carolina metropolitan area, CSU is at a meaningful inflection point: growing enrollment, newly launched strategic plan, and a clear opportunity to strengthen and expand a comprehensive advancement program. This role offers the chance to lead major and transformational giving, guide campaign strategy, build confidence and capacity across advancement functions, and partner closely with the President and Board to advance a distinctly Christian, Baptist mission.
We are seeking someone who embodies the joy of philanthropy with deep experience across advancement disciplines, a proven record of cultivating significant gifts, and the ability to inspire teams and donors alike, bringing both strategic rigor and relational warmth.
If you are aware of qualified individuals for this unique opportunity, please contact Kimberley Wiedefeld at kwiedefeld@faithsearchpartners.com or Andrew Westmoreland at awestmoreland@faithsearchpartners.com. Interested candidates can also forward a current resume/curriculum vitae via email. All inquiries will be held in strict confidence.
