to build upon that status, and this is an exciting opportunity for you, a
talented Development professional educated to degree level or equivalent, to
help secure philanthropic support for those objectives as part of the Oxford
Humanities development team, and to further your career within Oxford Thinking

prepares for major projects to endow academic positions and to create new
facilities.



You will have a track record of securing major gifts, and a confident approach
to achieving ambitious income targets. You possess diplomacy, creativity and
outstanding communication skills, and are able to operate comfortably in a
large, complex institution with multiple stakeholders. You have the

online application.
