Director of Development, Campaign Partnerships

Based in Sydney, Australia – Relocation & Visa Sponsorship Available

Be part of one of the world’s most ambitious university fundraising campaigns

The Opportunity

Are you ready for an international career move that blends impact, influence, and incredible lifestyle? The University of Sydney—consistently ranked among the world’s top 50 institutions—is seeking an outstanding senior fundraising leader to join our Advancement leadership team in beautiful Sydney, Australia.

As our next Director of Development, Campaign Partnerships, you’ll be at the forefront of a billion-dollar philanthropic campaign, shaping the future of health, medicine, education, and society through strategic, high-impact partnerships. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to help change the world, while living in one of the most stunning and liveable cities on the planet.

What You’ll Do

As a key member of our Advancement leadership team, you’ll:

  • Lead strategy and delivery of our sector-leading campaign partnerships across major gifts and philanthropy.
  • Work closely with high-net-worth donors, industry leaders, and academic innovators to advance transformational projects in health, medicine, sports, education, and research.
  • Inspire and grow a high-performing team of fundraising professionals dedicated to making a global impact.
  • Collaborate with deans, researchers, clinicians, and university executives to create compelling cases for support that resonate with donors worldwide.

What You Bring

You’re a seasoned fundraising professional who:

  • Has a track record of closing multi-million-dollar major gifts and navigating complex donor landscapes.
  • Is a trusted relationship builder with executive presence and exceptional communication skills.
  • Thrives in intellectually rich environments and enjoys working across disciplines.
  • Has led and mentored ambitious fundraising teams to success.
  • Brings strategic insight, creativity, and global vision to your philanthropy work.

Experience in higher education, healthcare, or complex mission-driven institutions is highly desirable.

Why Move to Sydney?

  • Work at Australia’s leading university in fundraising, with a proven record of campaign success.
  • Live in a vibrant, multicultural city surrounded by world-famous beaches, outdoor adventure, arts, and culture.
  • Enjoy a 35-hour work week, flexible hybrid working, and 36 weeks of paid parental leave.
  • Access relocation assistance and visa sponsorship—we’ll support your move from the U.S. (or elsewhere).
  • Be part of a welcoming, inclusive, and globally minded university community.

Benefits

  • Tax-effective salary packaging options
  • Ongoing professional development and in-house training
  • Subsidised parking and wellness programs
  • A highly supportive environment that celebrates ambition and impact
