1678722CDAt the University of Southampton, our aim is to change the world for the better, bringing together realms of academic research, creativity and knowledge to have a truly collaborative, immersive and ground-breaking impact. We care about the challenges that humanity is facing, and work to support others on a local and global scale.
In the Office of Development & Alumni Relations (ODAR), our job is to galvanise our community to solve these challenges and to make a difference. Would you like this to be your job too?
About the role
To develop a diverse pipeline for our fundraisers, our Prospect Development team is looking for a highly motivated individual to proactively source and create research on potential supporters of the University. This will include reviewing individuals, trusts, foundations, corporations, and other relevant organisations.
Working with the fundraising team, you will support the prospect management process, to ensure relevant researched constituents enjoy positive engagement with the University. You will also act as a data champion, understanding the impact of good data in developing supporter knowledge that makes a measurable impact on our fundraising activity.
About you
We are looking for a proactive individual, who can utilise a range of sources to create accurate, thoughtful, and comprehensive research outputs. You will be a great communicator who is confident in using both qualitative and quantitative data to inform the work of others. You will have excellent analytical skills, applying these with tenacity, while handling a busy and varied workload. We want you to bring fresh ideas to help solve problems and enhance all aspects of our work.
About Us
We are planning our first University-wide fundraising and engagement campaign. Together, we want to raise more money and to engage more alumni and friends with Southampton so that we can change the world. And with the full support and investment of our University leadership, we are growing our team over the next few years. We are so excited.
We need people with intellectual curiosity different ideas. We need people with direct experience or transferable skills and the interest and drive to take on a new challenge. We are actively determined to welcome a diverse group of colleagues into our inclusive team. Every day will be different, you will meet incredible people and the rewards will be huge.
Imagine fundraising for medical technologies that could cure cancer or dementia. Or engaging a volunteer who can help a student improve their graduate prospects. Or connecting alumni around the world and reawakening important friendships and partnerships. Or seeing the look on a student’s face when they learn they will be the first person in their family to attend University—because of a scholarship that you secured. That could be you.
The only thing holding us back is more talented people. This could be a career-defining and remarkable opportunity.
Help us change the world. Join us.
Thank you for your interest in joining our team.
