**About the role**
For over a decade, the Blavatnik School of Government has attracted the very
best, most inspiring citizens into public service; catalysts for change who
are dedicated to improving public policy and delivering good government for
their communities. These talented and aspiring leaders come to the School,
irrespective of financial circumstances or socio-economic background, because
of the scholarships that we are able to offer them.
As a result, the most gifted candidates can choose public service over other
career options, enabling them to go on to make positive and lasting
differences to public policy across the globe, working on innovative projects
and policies spanning anti-corruption, human rights, education and climate
change. Securing funding for scholarships is crucial to advancing our mission,
and to ensure we can continue empowering the next generation of public leaders
through their studies at the School, we are seeking a creative, talented and
collaborative fundraiser to join us.
The Development Manager (Scholarships) will lead the fundraising for
scholarships at the School with the aim of attracting high-value gifts in
support of students across the School’s programmes. Managing the portfolio of
current and future scholarship donors and maintaining close personal
relationships with each in your portfolio, the Development Manager will work
closely with the Director of Development, Dean, senior faculty, members of the
International Advisory Board and alumni to identify, cultivate and engage
prospective donors whilst observing and complying with the University’s
relevant policies and regulations.
This is a three year fixed-term position.
**About you**
You are a gifted storyteller, able to creatively communicate the extraordinary
and innovative work of the School, the inspirational people in our global
community, and the compelling stories of impact in the societies and
communities that our supporters care about.
You are passionate and enthusiastic about our mission, and able to inspire
potential donors with that passion.
You have a track record of income generation at a senior level and will use
this experience to secure funding from individuals, alumni, organisations
including government in support of scholarships and ensure that current donors
are effectively stewarded.
You have well-developed influencing, negotiation and inter-personal skills.
You are strategic, organised and ambitious, someone who understands how to
focus on the detail, without losing sight of the bigger picture.
If you're ready to use your storytelling talents and fundraising experience to
make a real difference, we want to hear from you.
**Application process**
You will be required to upload a supporting statement, your CV and the details
of two referees as part of your online application.
The closing date for applications is **12:00 noon (UK time) on Monday 29 April
2024.**
