Philanthropy Manager

The Role

This role will develop and lead a challenging programme of long and short-term plans to deliver income targets from major donations (both in lifetime and gifts in wills) to the University. This role will manage a small, but motivated team of fundraising professionals.

The post-holder will work with major donors and legacy prospects within the University's 100,000 alumni community as well as with other supporters at local, national, UK and international levels.

This requires building strong, respectful, and mutually supportive networks with a range of internal and senior stakeholders including the Vice Chancellor, the University Executive, Council, Honorary Fellows and the Old Students' Association.

The postholder will be a proactive individual with a proven ability and passion for relationship management and donor acquisition, driving the delivery of our donor-centric strategy for philanthropy.
