The role The University of Oxford is founded on the quality of its teaching, scholarship and service to society.

Major and principal gifts have played a significant part in our success with the Oxford Thinking Campaign and these gifts have made a number of important projects possible. Recent significant donations have brought the following projects to fruition:  The Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities will be the new home for humanities at Oxford, providing state-of-the-art facilities for seven faculties, the Institute for Ethics in AI, and the Oxford Internet Institute. It will house a new humanities library, as well as public-facing exhibition and performance spaces  The Ineos Oxford Institute for AMR Research is a new cutting-edge institute to combat the growing global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and animals  Reuben College is Oxford’s newest college, bringing graduate students and academics from traditionally different disciplines together to work on global challenges including artificial intelligence and machine learning; environmental change; ethics and values; and cellular life  The Poonawalla Vaccines Research Building will house over 300 research scientists providing the focus and scale for the University’s major vaccine development programmes, allowing a rapid expansion of this fastgrowing, translational area  The Moh Family Foundation is supporting the work of Oxford University’s Pandemic Sciences Institute, greatly strengthening its ability to identify and counter future pandemic threats and ensure equitable access to treatments and vaccines around the world  The Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science has been established to pioneer the better use of data, evidence, and digital tools in healthcare and policy, optimising the impact of interventions to achieve improved outcomes  The Dieter Schwarz Foundation is supporting an ambitious programme of research dedicated to investigating the impact of AI and other game-changing technologies.

We are looking for a talented fundraiser, with a background in the cultural sector to join the Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM) Team within the Development and Alumni Engagement team of the University of Oxford.  This is a fixed term contract to the end of September 2025. https://www.glam.ox.ac.uk/home.

 

You will be working with such iconic institutions as the Pitt Rivers Museum, the Oxford Botanic Gardens, the History of Science Museum and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.  In this role in any given week you might see a dodo, extraordinary thousand-year old Chinese ceramics, insects collected by Darwin, the first scientifically described dinosaur and drawings by John Ruskin, as well as work on projects involving saving the largest flower in the world or supporting world-leading restitution work.

 

The collections are important and renowned on their own accounts, but also play a key role in the University’s research.  In addition, they are the open doors to the University of Oxford, encouraging a diverse range of communities to engage our academics and curators.

 

Your role will include fundraising for major gifts to support the museums and gardens, and leading a team of fundraisers who will work to support a wide range of activities across the institutions.  You will also work closely with the Directors and other curators to raise funds from a range of donors and supporters. You will work with the Associate Director of Development – GLAM to develop strategies and manage relationships with the Directors and be part of the wider fundraising team for GLAM.

This is an opportunity to raise funds to support some of the most beautiful and significant objects and collections in the country, and to work as part of the highly successful fundraising team at the University of Oxford.
