Are you looking for an exciting new fundraising challenge? Perhaps you are a senior fundraiser ready for a new leadership role?

We are recruiting the new Associate Director of Philanthropy to lead the fundraising for the Crick, one of the world's leading scientific research institutes. Working closely with the current Director, Sir Paul Nurse, the new Director (Professor Edith Heard who joins in summer 2025), and the CRUK and Crick leadership and Boards, you will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive fundraising strategy for the Institute including the launch of a new campaign to mark the Crick's 10th anniversary in 2027.

Directly leading a team of five with matrix management across the wider CRUK philanthropy team, the post will be a member of CRUK's Philanthropy Leadership Group. You will work with the Cancer Research UK frontline fundraising team to engage prospects, managing a personal portfolio of principal gifts donors and prospects to secure gifts at the 7 and 8 figure level.

Positioned at the frontier of scientific discovery, the Crick is deliberately different from other institutes-open, collaborative, and interdisciplinary. As Europe's largest biomedical research facility under one roof, our design and approach enable us to fuel scientific progress like few others. Here, experts from various fields unite in pursuit of life-changing discoveries.

This is an opportunity to lead a fundraising programme for one of the foremost scientific research institutes in the world. Working at the most senior levels to secure transformational gifts, your work will help ensure that we help change lives for the better, delivering the research that means we will overcome cancer and many other diseases.

It is a unique time to join the Crick. With a new Director, campaign and the profile of the institute, you will have every opportunity to have real impact.

You will be a values-driven leader with the ability to engage with senior scientists and academics as well as managing senior volunteers and a volunteer board. We're looking for someone who wants to work in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple and complex projects. With a significant track record in major gifts and campaign fundraising you will have a demonstrable record of building relationships and engaging with philanthropists and high net-worth individuals.

If you are attracted by the scale of the ambition here, please get in touch. We hope to hear from you
