The University of Oxford aims to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join Europe’s most successful fundraising team in higher education as part of a newly established Principal Gifts team. The Associate Director of Development – Principal Gifts roles will focus on securing transformational 8 figure philanthropic gifts for the University. These roles will play a significant role in our new campaign. Reporting to Director of Development – Principal Gifts and working closely with the Chief Development and Alumni Engagement Officer and the Vice-Chancellor of the University, the post-holders will manage the cultivation and solicitation of a portfolio of the University's most generous donors and prospects. The post-holders will be responsible for building a robust pipeline of opportunities to support our campaign objectives.
