You will steward new and existing legacy pledgers ensuring they remain engaged with the university, enrolled in The Queen's Tower Society legacy circle and continue supporting Imperial philanthropically during their lifetime. The legacy officer will also manage production of legacy materials and appeals and implement new supporter journeys into legacy strategy and planning in collaboration with our Regular Giving Officers to encourage lifetime giving. You will partner closely with the Legal team to manage the provision of legacy wording to prospective donors and oversee all legacy administration with responsibility for managing the relationship with Imperial's legacy consultant.
