** Position Overview
** The Corporate Engagement Senior Liaison is centrally embedded within Corporate and Foundation Engagement (CFE), with the primary goal of identifying, building, and maintaining corporate partnerships for Ohio State’s academic units, as well as research institutes and centers, as needed. This position qualifies and pursues high-level opportunities (valued up to and exceeding $100,000) for sponsor ships, sponsored research projects, and philanthropic gifts and grants.
