Applications for this vacancy closed on 29 November 2023 at 12:00PM
Grade 10: £61,198 - £70,918 per annum with possible extension to £77,476
**_This is a rare and career defining opportunity to join a sector-leading
team and drive the philanthropic activity for some of the most exciting
advancements in medicine and health._**
The University of Oxford is one of the world’s leading biomedical universities
recognised for our outstanding quality and depth across the medical research
spectrum - from genes to molecules, to big data and populations. With the
honour of 12 Nobel Laureates over its long and distinguished history, our
Medical Sciences Division is consistently at the forefront of innovative and
life enhancing, and saving, science.
Ranked #1 in the world for medicine, our researchers work across the full
range of biomedical and clinical sciences, and the excellence of this work is
recognised by our top placing in international league tables. Philanthropy has
played a key role in enabling the ambitions of our Division and wider
University, and as Head of Development – Medical Sciences, you will lead our
team and efforts to secure philanthropy that furthers this cutting-edge work,
from developing treatments for brain and mental health and cancer, to
preventing pandemics.
**About you**
You will be an experienced and collaborative fundraiser, leader, manager,
relationship builder and communicator. Your confidence and ability to
establish credibility quickly will help you to develop relationships at the
highest level, both inside and outside the university. As a divisional unit
leader and member of the major gifts leadership team, you will inspire a
motivated and committed MSD development team, already delivering significant
results – c. £30M per year in major gifts. It will therefore be important that
you:
* Are a self-starter, motivated to achieve against strategic goals within a complex environment;
* Have highly developed emotional intelligence and sophisticated interpersonal and diplomacy skills;
* Bring an entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude; and
* Are a collaborative and personable colleague and manager, with a track record of bringing people along to achieve and celebrate outcomes together.
* Higher education or medicine-related experience is desirable, while a passion for Oxford’s mission and a desire to drive positive change through philanthropic partnerships are absolutely essential.
**In return**
Your happiness and wellbeing at work matter to us, so we offer a range of
family friendly, financial and professional benefits, including:
* Opportunity for hybrid working
* Exceptional contributory pension scheme and salary sacrifice options
* 38 days annual leave
* Comprehensive childcare services and family-friendly leave schemes
* Cycle loan scheme
* Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
* Subsidised University Sports Centre membership
* Engaging social groups and sports clubs beyond the workplace
* Membership to CASE for advancement professionals
* Access to a wide range of training and development opportunities.
You could be helping to deliver philanthropic support that helps to fund
breakthroughs in medical science that will improve lives around the world. If
this sounds like the kind of challenge you’ve been looking for, we’d love to
hear from you.
