Vice President, Campaign 

THE OPPORTUNITY

Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation is seeking an exceptional fundraising leader as our Vice President, Campaign as we embark on the largest campaign in our history.

Building upon the success of several recently completed spotlight campaigns for Men’s Health, Mental Health, the Maternal Child Program, and Cancer Care, Southlake is now focused on preparing for and executing a transformational effort to meet the exponential demand for care in support of our rapidly growing communities.  Bolstered by the vision of our new Southlake CEO, Dr. Paul Woods, Southlake is establishing a multi-site health system with the ambitious re-development of the current site and creating new, state-of-the-art healthcare facilities in the region as we reimagine healthcare for our expansive catchment that serves, though our regional programs, over 1.5 million people across many very special communities.

This is a once-in-a-career opportunity for the successful candidate recruited to this newly created leadership position to work collaboratively with both the Foundation’s President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Development Officer (CDO), in partnership with the Hospital, to provide expert leadership and support to the entire Foundation team of volunteers and staff to achieve transformational growth throughout this historic and comprehensive fundraising campaign.

Responsible for strategic and functional leadership to the Foundation’s campaign design; development and operations; and managing a portfolio of high-impact donors, the VP, Campaign, will lead the strategy and coordinate implementation to bring the organization through the various phases of the comprehensive Campaign.

At Southlake, we believe that fundraising is a team sport and the VP, Campaign will lead in concert with Foundation and Hospital leadership; act as the primary resource for senior volunteers; and serve as the day-to-day operational lead for the Foundation team, with the support of an evolving Campaign staff.  As an integral member of the Leadership Team and working collaboratively and cross-functionally across the Foundation, the VP will develop and drive campaign activities, schedules, timelines, and processes engendering a sense of excitement, optimism, and confidence toward achieving the Campaign’s goals.

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the VP, Campaign will demonstrate deep knowledge of and commitment to Southlake’s mission, clinical priorities, the communities we serve, and the impact of philanthropy in advancing healthcare. The new VP will be a champion of Southlake’s commitment to delivering leading-edge care, close to home, our ambitious new Campaign, and the role of transformative philanthropy to reimagine the future of healthcare.
