The opportunity

Are you an experienced administrator who believes the world needs creativity? University Arts of the London (UAL) is recruiting a Development Officer for our Major Giving team, to support the delivery of its first ever comprehensive fundraising campaign.

UAL is a world-leading university for teaching and research in the fields of art, design, and communications. We are rated 2nd in the world for Art and Design and offer a unique range of courses which annually foster the creative potential of over 20,000 students from across the world.

As a university committed to social purpose, we are dedicated to nurturing creativity as a profound source of positive change in the world. To this end we are about to launch our first major fundraising campaign which aims to harness the support of our friends, alumni, and wider community to help deliver our aim to make the world a better place through our collective creative endeavour.

About you

We're looking for someone with strong administrative skills to fill a key role on the team responsible for raising funds from individuals. This role sits within the broader Development department, which sits within the Social Purpose group.

You are a great communicator, as you'll be the day-to-day contact for our donors as well as for students who receive support like scholarships and bursaries. You'll be confident in drafting well-written reports as well as letters and emails to our supporters.

You're comfortable using standard Microsoft Office software including Outlook and Excel. We use a number of specialist systems to manage income including our fundraising database, Raisers Edge, and UAL's finance software. You won't need to be an expert at those, but will be someone who is confident that they can learn new software quickly.

You are detail oriented and organised, capable of managing a busy and varied workload. You're great at building relationships with all kinds of people, from donors to colleagues across UAL to students receiving scholarships. You're comfortable working independently but enjoy working as part of a team.

If this sounds like you, please submit your application, we'd love to have a conversation.

We're made up of all types of people, coming together in London, the world's creative capital. We are designers, artists, performers, thinkers, researchers and makers. Our students, staff and graduates form a global network of creatives, entrepreneurs and leaders. Together, our ideas change the world. Because the world needs creativity.
