Are you looking for an opportunity to transform philanthropic giving at a world-class university?
Based across campuses in Devon and Cornwall, the University of Exeter is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of leading research-intensive universities. The University has more than 30,000 students and 6,700 staff from 154 different countries. Our alumni base stretches across 183 countries and we are in touch with more than 155,000 graduates.
Our Strategy 2030 will use the power of our education and research to help create a sustainable, healthy and fairer future. We are reshaping our academic faculties, creating renewed focus in Medicine, Environment, and Humanities and Social Sciences, which creates a variety of potential fundraising activities. To continue to strive for excellence, we are now looking to expand expertise in the Global Advancement team and increase philanthropic income significantly.
The new Heads of Development are key roles, working with colleagues across the University to deliver ambitious philanthropic support and develop lifelong relationships between the University, our alumni and other supporters. Heads of Development have a high-profile within and beyond the University, and each will lead a small team to support fundraising with focus on one of the University’s three academic faculties – Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences, Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy, and Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.
You will develop long-term relationships with philanthropists around the world to secure Major (£25k+), Principal (£250k+) and Transformational (£1m+) gifts in support of University priorities including support for students, research and the development of campuses.
We seek individuals with significant personal success in securing six figure philanthropic gifts in HE, voluntary or cultural sectors, or proven transferable skills. You will have developed and implemented successful fundraising strategies, have proven management experience and the natural ability to inspire. As a sophisticated networker, you will bring exceptional negotiating skills, with a persuasive communication style.
This role may require you to work outside normal office hours occasionally, and travel across the UK and internationally as required (40-50%).
If you believe in the power of education, research and philanthropy to transform lives then we would very much like to hear from you.
Closing date for formal applications: By 9:00am, Monday 19 September 2022
