** Job Summary
** Working under the supervision of the Executive Director, the Prospect Intelligence & Strategy Manager serves as the intelligence hub for University Advancement as a shared service across Development, the LSU New Orleans Foundation, and Alumni Engagement, providing strategic prospect intelligence, portfolio management, fundraising analytics, and campaign planning that maximize philanthropic revenue across the University.
This is a strategic, senior individual-contributor role that shapes where the advancement division invests its time and resources for the greatest philanthropic return, not simply who has capacity to give. As the program matures, it supports the division's move toward AI-assisted prospect identification, predictive analytics, and business intelligence, including donor scoring and propensity modeling. Because clean, reliable data is the foundation of that work, the analyst is a committed partner in the Foundation's database-health effort, working closely with the Advancement Data & Stewardship Manager.

Together the two form the core of advancement operations: one role owns the quality and integrity of the data, and this role turns that data into fundraising strategy.## ##
