This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements. 

Would you like to join a collaborative and passionate team which is raising funds to meet ambitious targets in a university committed to reducing inequality and shaping a better future for  humanity?  

The University of Leeds is one of the top 135 universities in the world.

You will also lead a small team of major gift fundraisers, motivating them to maximise the giving value from their own fundraising portfolios. The role sits within a growing Transformational & Major Giving team and is crucial to success at a time of investment and expansion in the Advancement Team.

In order to be successful in this role, you will have a sustained track record of raising donations at 6 figures and above, capability to work with senior stakeholders across a complex organisation to craft bespoke fundraising propositions and the ability to lead and motivate a small team of major gift fundraisers.
