Oxford, United Kingdom St Hugh's College Full time

**Job title: Head of Fundraising**

**Hours**:37.5 hours

**Salary**: £45,610.50- £55,458.00 per annum

**Reports to**:Director of Development

**Direct reports**:Regular Giving Manager and Senior Development and Data Officer

**Job summary**:The Head of Fundraising is responsible for managing the College’s major (mid-level) donor and regular giving work.

**Key relationships**:Director of Development, Head of Alumni Engagement, Academic Registrar, Principal, Bursar, Senior Tutor, College Academics and key volunteers.

**Background**

The College is run by the Governing Body, consisting of the Principal, 48 academic Fellows, and the senior officers of the College such as the Senior Tutor and the Bursar. The members of Governing Body are the Trustees of the charity and have ultimate responsibility for the governance and operations of the College, although much of this is delegated on a day-to-day basis to a number of key committees and officers.

**The Development Office**

The Development Office Team’s main objectives are to raise funds for the College from a variety of sources and to support alumni relations. The Development Office works in partnership with academic colleagues and volunteers to build enduring relationships with our community of 10,000 alumni around the world and other supporters - and to increase financial support for agreed priorities.

**The Role**

The post-holder will manage a portfolio of current and prospective donors with the potential to make major gifts, primarily drawn from our alumni community and will lead the College’s mid-level major giving programme, working directly on five and six-figure+ gifts while also encouraging legacies pledges and other forms of support. The role will have exposure to high-level donors both nationally and internationally, and will enjoy very considerable freedom in approaching potential donors drawn from our alumni pool and beyond. Once established, there will be an opportunity to expand the fundraising team to include a Major Giving Officer. While the Development Officer technically reports to the Head of Alumni Engagement, they play a crucial role within the team’s overall fundraising and donation processing work.

**Main Responsibilities**
- Fundraising and Prospect Management_
- To manage a portfolio of prospects and existing major donors, both domestically and internationally, in order to achieve fundraising income targets.
- To raise funds for the College from alumni, individuals, and others, working with the Director of Development, the Principal, Fellows where appropriate and other key stakeholders.
- Cultivate personal and institutional relationships with College constituents (alumni, donors and friends), soliciting 5-6+ figure gifts and pledges.
- As a member of the senior management team in the Development Office, contribute to the leadership and strategic direction for the College’s overall Development & Engagement Strategy.
- In conjunction with the Director of Development and the Head of Alumni Engagement, input into the creation and implementation of a strategic plan for donor and alumni communications and engagement.
- In conjunction with the Development Director and Head of Alumni Engagement, develop a strategic plan for the College’s regular donor recognition programmes.
- Ensure the Fundraising team is moving prospects through the gift cycle and pipeline in a timely manner and help evaluate the effectiveness of related operations.
- To further develop the strategy for Regular Giving and Legacies, with input from the Regular Giving Manager.
- Support the Head of Alumni Engagement in the stewardship of donors and engagement of alumni.
- To work with the Director of Development to develop new fundraising and engagement initiatives both at home and overseas, to include new giving circles and alumni groups.
- To monitor payment and reminder activity on Major Pledges and produce regular reports for the Development Director, Governing Body and Fundraising Committee.
- To be responsible for ensuring due diligence and clearance procedures are carried out for all potential donors. Ensure all donations secured are in line with College policies and are dealt with in a tax efficient manner, to comply with HMRC regulations, and that donations are thanked and recognised promptly and appropriately. The Development Officer supports this work.
- Support the Director of Development in the creation of fundraising proposals, gift agreements, cases for support and other fundraising materials.
- Provide best practice and expertise to the team and colleagues across College on philanthropy.
- **Management **_
- Lead, mentor and effectively line manage the Fundraising Team: setting objectives, evaluating performance, fostering team spirit and supporting professional growth.
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement and high standards across the team.
- **Internal Collaboration / Operational Responsibilities **_
- Work alongside the Head of
