2 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

We are looking for two new driven fundraisers to join us in the roles of Associate Director for the School of the Humanities & Social Sciences and Associate Director for the School of Arts & Humanities. Both individuals will be part of dynamic, innovative and supportive teams whilst developing long-term holistic partnerships with high-level donors. You will work to secure six and seven figure gifts to underpin strategic needs such as research, academic posts and student support.

The School of the Humanities and Social Sciences includes disciplines from deep history to close engagement with contemporary social, economic, and cultural issues. The School brings a global perspective to most research questions, deepened by the presence of the University's interdisciplinary centres for Area Studies and for Development Studies.

The School of Arts and Humanities is a diverse and vibrant community of academics, students and staff with a reputation for excellence in teaching and world-class research. The School's faculties and institutes range from music, ethics and architecture to foreign languages, classics and artificial intelligence, among others. All are leading authorities in their fields who push the boundaries of our knowledge to refine how humanity thinks and sees the world.

You might already be an experienced major gifts fundraiser or perhaps you are someone with outstanding relationship management techniques and experience working in another sector who would like to transition and build your major gifts fundraising career with us.

Whatever your background, you will be collaborative, strategic and innovative in approach. Key to your success will be the knowledge of how to engage with high-net-worth people, senior level staff across Collegiate Cambridge, academics and key stakeholders, both internally and externally.

This position is an exciting opportunity to join teams that work at the cutting edge of what we do at an institution where philanthropy has a real impact. We have extraordinary aspirations and know we can make these a reality
- come and be a part of our team

Please be advised that the role of Associate Director for Humanities and Social Sciences is a permanent position, whereas the role of Associate Director for Arts and Humanities is offered on a fixed-term contract for five years, in the first instance.

The closing date for this position is 14th April 2024.

First round interviews for this position are anticipated to take place in the week commencing 22nd April 2024.

Second round interviews for this position are anticipated to take place in the week commencing 29th April 2024.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
