* The post holder may need to collaborate on approaches with other University development staff, including the Vice-Chancellor and the Chief Development & Alumni Engagement Officer.
* The Head of Development will line manage a successful team of fundraisers and will be responsible for bringing in a team total of £10,000,000.
**To be successful in this role:**
* A proven track record in major gift fundraising; also a strong natural drive towards getting out into the field and a demonstrable ability to ask successfully for significant gifts.
* The ability to represent the MPLS Division and the University among a range of external constituencies.
* An interest in higher education and in particular an understanding of Oxford University, its mission and its need for external funding in order to set the work of the Development and Alumni Engagement (DAE) in its proper context.
* You will be highly motivated and enthusiastic about the impact of research and teaching in MPLS.
