Through working in partnership with academic, development, and alumni colleagues throughout the collegiate University, DAE builds enduring relationships with external constituencies – including alumni, non-alumni, corporate and foundation donors – and increases financial support for agreed academic priorities. The office is one of the central administrative departments of the University, collectively known as University Administration and Services. Due to the nature of its work, DAE collaborates closely with a number of other units and teams, particularly Public Affairs, Finance, Research and Legal. In 2019, the University and the colleges completed the Oxford Thinking Campaign, which raised £3.34bn, and is the most successful higher education fundraising campaign in Europe. The University is currently planning its next major campaign and, as a member of DAE, the post holder will have a key role to play in helping realise its successful delivery.

The University holds a silver Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The role The University of Oxford is founded on the quality of its teaching, scholarship and service to society. It is working harder and faster than ever to create new knowledge and find answers to global problems, helping to make a more equitable society and educate the next generation of leaders. Philanthropy plays a critical role in enabling Oxford to maintain and build on its status as a world-class centre of learning. 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 2  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. They have also provided a major boost to the study and teaching of German at Oxford, principally through the endowment of the Schwarz-Taylor Chair in the German Language and Literature The University of Oxford has been successful in raising donations from a broad, international range of donors, including alumni, non-alumni, foundations and trusts, and corporations. Key relationships Donors to MPLS; external volunteers and members of advisory committees; Head of MPLS Division; senior academics and administrative staff as appropriate within the MPLS Division; Members of the MPLS fundraising team and other members of the Development and Alumni Relations teams across the collegiate University. Purpose To develop and implement plans to maximise private gift support for agreed priorities within the MPLS Division Oxford is a world-leader in mathematical, physical and life sciences scholarship, recognised internationally for the outstanding quality, breadth and depth of its teaching and research. This is an exciting time to become involved with the development programme in MPLS. We have ambitious plans to increase and sustain philanthropic income to the Division. The MPLS divisional development team is small but highly effective, working collaboratively with colleagues across the division and with expert colleagues in Development and Alumni Engagement. The Head of Division, Professor Jim Naismith, and the Heads of Departments, are closely involved with development. This is a key role within the team and the post holder will have the opportunity to work with donors and academics at the highest level. Development at Oxford is well established and this role has the scope to work across a number of important and high profile projects. The post holder will contribute to approaches to high level donors (corporate, trust and individual) and will also manage their own donor portfolio. Priorities for fundraising include securing support for graduate scholarships, key academic posts, research programmes, and infrastructure, as determined by the Head of MPLS Division. The post holder will be able to use the support services provided (accounting, database, communications, stewardship and research). The post holder will be based in central Oxford, but they may be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with their line manager. The line manager will regularly review progress. There may be opportunities for career development within the office structure. DAE 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. DAE’s work covers a wide range of activities and priorities which will inevitably change from day to day. All staff operate as a team, and, while each has their own responsibilities, they are expected to assist each other in peak periods. The post holder will need to become conversant with the University as a whole and especially with the numerous academic staff and volunteers. The post holder will be highly motivated and will possess a strong drive towards getting out in the field and developing purposeful and effective relationships with prospective benefactors. The post holder will be expected to liaise with senior academics to shape fundraising propositions and to spend the greater part of their time identifying and meeting current or prospective donors both in the United Kingdom and internationally. As a core element of their activity, the post holder will be expected to work closely with other development professionals of the collegiate University. 3 The post holder will manage a portfolio of more than 100 major gifts prospects. The post holder will be responsible for the identification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship of potential donors able to support the MPLS at Oxford, typically in the range of £500,000-£1,000,000 over time. The Head of Development – MPLS, working with the Head of MPLS Division, and the Director of Development, is responsible for the solicitation of principal and many major gifts. The post holder will be expected to lead and co-ordinate a number of donor relationships and, within the MPLS team, work across a number of corporate relationships to maximise their engagement with MPLS. In common with the rest of the University, the MPLS development programme will make reference to a number of regional strategies. This will allow it to engage and develop strategic relationships with key prospects for MPLS globally. It is expected that the post holder will work closely with the University’s international offices and some overseas travel may be required from time to time. The successful candidate will recognise and embrace the value of adopting a collaborative and internally transparent approach to fundraising within the collegiate University structure. The post holder will work closely with colleagues in Development and Alumni Engagement, MPLS Departments, Oxford Colleges, Central Administration, Divisions and international offices to maximise gift potential from prospects who may have multiple connections and enthusiasms. The post holder will be required to cover for or act in the place of the Head of Development from time to time and in particular in some internal meetings.
