We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 10 Nobel Prize winners, including three who received their awards in 2016.  Academics here are tackling some of the world’s most pressing global challenges such as antibody testing and Covid-19, the impact of climate change on our woodlands and forests, issues caused by migration and displacement, the rise in youth mental health issues, and the prevention of needless maternal deaths in the developing world. Our students come from nearly 150 countries and our flagship outreach programmes mean that almost 25% of our student population come from disadvantaged backgrounds, one of the highest proportions in the UK. Philanthropy has always played an important role in shaping the University, most recently in 2015 when we closed the Circles of Influence Campaign, which raised £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London. Through the ‘Birmingham In Action’ campaign, philanthropy will continue to play a vital role in delivering projects to change lives locally, nationally, and internationally.

The Donor Engagement Officer role is your opportunity to join our excellent team at an exciting time.  Stewardship and donor engagement are vital activities to the success of any philanthropic campaign.  Donors of time and money need to be thanked and understand what their support has achieved, and how integral their gifts have been to making a positive and meaningful difference to the student community and to academic research. In doing so, donors are encouraged to continue their giving, and to increase and diversify their support.

The appointment of a Donor Engagement Officer will double the stewardship resource within DARO, allowing for an expansion of our donor engagement programmes.  The Donor Engagement Officer will be expected to lead and manage the stewardship activity for our regular donors, four-figure donors, and volunteers, and to support on stewardship for our five-figure donors.  The successful candidate will work with our Communications and Events Teams to deliver appropriate, meaningful, and effective activities that express gratitude and communicate impact.  They will work closely with colleagues in the Fundraising, Volunteering and Regular Giving Teams to build programmes to steward these key donor communities, and will work alongside the Data Team to help manage donor data and segmentation.   

The successful candidate will have outstanding communication skills with experience in writing for impact, in creating digital content, and an understanding of the needs and expectations of different audiences.  They will be able to balance creativity and imagination with a structured, thoughtful and organised approach to their work. They will be creative and conscientious programme deliverers who value integrity and sincerity, and who will demonstrate these qualities through their work.

As an office, we are committed to sustainability and value green working practices. The environment is an integral part of our campaign and we encourage eco-friendly ways of working in order to have a positive impact on our campus and global surroundings.

A4ID is a global charity with a vision to see the law and lawyers play their full part in the global eradication of poverty. The mission of A4ID is to be an authoritative voice of the legal community, to inspire and enable lawyers to join the fight against poverty, and to ensure that legal support is available for those engaged in that fight.

For the last 15 years, A4ID has delivered unparalleled opportunities for lawyers to give their time and skills to help those working tirelessly to help meet the needs of the world’s poorest citizens. This role within both the legal and development communities has provided a unique vantage point to engage positively in the nexus between both sectors to promote a sustainable development agenda.

A4ID’s pro bono brokerage service ensures that NGOs, social enterprises and developing country governments, law societies and bar associations worldwide can access the legal support they need. A4ID matches requests for assistance from Development Partners with high-quality expertise from Legal Partners.

A4ID’s education programme brings together legal and development professionals to share best practice and learning, exploring key issues in law and development and equipping lawyers to better understand these issues.

A4ID’s thought leadership and policy work provoke discussion on best practice for the legal and development communities in key areas such as business and human rights in the legal, business and development sectors; the role of law and rule of law in international development; and the advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) with its objective of eradicating poverty globally by 2030.

Since 2015, A4ID has also worked to promote global economic growth by strengthening the rule of law in developing countries through its Rule of Law Expertise UK (ROLE UK) Programme and by supporting partnerships providing high-quality, pro bono legal and judicial expertise from the UK and international legal and judicial sectors.

A4ID is now extremely well positioned to further its growth agenda and to position itself as a global leader on the role of law and lawyers in sustainable development.

To achieve this, A4ID will be building on its existing strong programme teams with further senior programmatic expertise, to ensure that its work remains as efficient, effective, and impactful as possible, and to maintain its track record of excellence well into the future.

A4ID is therefore seeking an outstanding individual to join its leadership and senior management teams in the new and exciting role of Chief Programmes Officer, to drive forward the implementation of A4ID’s currently strategy through the high-quality, successful delivery of its impactful programmatic activity across the world.

You will be an experienced and capable development professional with extensive experience of developing and implementing complex, impactful and high-profile programmes globally. You will be comfortable building and maintaining strong relationships with senior stakeholders and will inspire trust in the A4ID Board and team.

You will enjoy working across diverse teams of bright, capable individuals to drive high performance and achievement in a robust, emotionally intelligent manner. You will be skilled at identifying areas for operational improvement in current programmes, at designing new effective and impactful programmes, and in securing funds and income generation targets to ensure their longer-term sustainability.

You will be able to inspire the confidence of the A4ID Board and leadership team that everything is being well run and will be able to maintain positive, healthy working relationships at all levels of the organisation.

The A4ID office is based in London, UK. A4ID can be flexible on location, although there will be an expectation of attending the London office at least one day per month and as may be required for the necessary delivery of the responsibilities of the role.

About our Oxfam Shops

Open for business since 1948, Oxfam shops are at the heart of the charity and their community, raising vital funds and increasing public awareness of what we do. They are always guided by our values of empowerment, accountability and inclusiveness and focussed on making as much money as possible.

The Role of our Shop Managers

Commercially aware and constantly looking for new business opportunities, shop managers motivate their teams and create a safe and energised work environment. They have high standards, a strong drive to achieve results and are accountable for their business.

The role of the shop manager is empowered, varied, busy and gives the opportunity to work with some amazing people. Shop managers are pivotal for the success of our business and can make a real difference. Oxfam operates a volunteer operating model, in which volunteers are empowered to take over most of the tasks within the shop, including running the shop in the manager’s absence. 

Often the only paid member of staff, our managers are comfortable in this environment, really enjoy working with others and are great at delegating to their teams. Excellent communicators, they are creative, and always look for opportunities to attract new supporters every day.

Oxfam is committed to preventing any type of unwanted behaviour at work including sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, lack of integrity and financial misconduct; and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults. Oxfam expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment through our code of conduct. We place a high priority on ensuring that only those who share and demonstrate our values are recruited to work for us.
