Purpose An experienced fundraising professional, with tenacity, drive and imagination is required to manage and lead fundraising initiatives to secure private gift support for the MPLS Division and to develop, implement and lead campaigns related to agreed priorities within the MPLS Division. The post holder will be responsible for managing a team of staff to secure private gift support for agreed initiatives across the Division and to contribute to the University’s broader development strategy. The post holder will be expected to work closely with a range of departments and disciplines in order to help them to identify the projects to fundraise for, to develop fundraising strategies for these priorities and for specific prospects, and to support the Division by undertaking the fundraising in order to reach their goals, in addition to implementing the effective stewarding of existing donors. The post holder will also be expected to contribute to the development of an identity and strategy for the Division’s philanthropic aspirations. The post holder will be based in the offices for Development and Alumni Engagement where there will be support services provided (accounting, database, research, proposal writing and stewardship), and will be expected to spend a substantial amount of time within the relevant departments of the Division in order to develop close working relationships with key academics. The post holder will be expected to manage a small team to support fundraising initiatives in the Division. The post holder will be expected to spend the greater part of their time developing fundraising strategy; identifying, involving, engaging, stewarding and recognising donors; and managing the development activities of the Division to support the agreed-upon strategy. In particular the post holder will support Head of the MPLS Division and other academics in all aspects of Development of the Division’s major donors and fundraising prospects. The work of the post holder includes planning and managing the regular meetings of the Division’s 3 Development Board; ensuring that communications with donors and prospective donors are effective and meet the highest standards; and that the resources of Development and Alumni Engagement and the Division are coordinated to achieve maximum impact and efficiency. As a core element of their activity, the post holder will be expected to work closely with other development professionals of the collegiate University to identify prospective donors and funding opportunities to the common benefit of these and other areas of the Collegiate University as appropriate.

In fundraising for projects the post holder will understand the major sources of philanthropic funding (individual, trust and corporate) and be aware of the key sources of non-philanthropic funding for the University sector. The work will include the identification of major prospects and the pursuance of these, in consultation with Development colleagues, with a view to raising financial support.

The line manager will regularly review progress. There may be opportunities for career development within the University Development structure. The office seeks to support and encourage staff to help them reach their potential, providing access to appropriate courses and training whenever possible, as well as a comprehensive induction process. The work of Development and Alumni Engagement covers a wide range of activities and priorities which will inevitably change from day to day.
