Do you want to be part of a dynamic and innovative fundraising team? Do you want to raise money for some of society’s most pressing challenges and play a key role in a new and ambitious fundraising and volunteering campaign?
We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 11 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 ‘Birmingham In Action’, philanthropy will continue to play a vital role in delivering projects to change lives locally, nationally, and internationally.
The Fundraising Relationship Manager (North America) role is your opportunity to join our excellent team at an exciting time. You will have sales experience or major gifts expertise, and will be passionate about progressing your career and understand the impact the University’s teaching and research has on the world.

All activities will be delivered in close collaboration with DARO colleagues as well as other parts of the University.
As part of an award winning team and led by some of the most respected names in higher education fundraising, you will work with our current Fundraising Relationship Managers to generate gifts to the University and encourage new donors to make long-term, sustainable and significant (5 and 6-figure) gifts.

Development of new audiences, prospects, and pipeline
• Understanding, promoting, and expressing thanks for the philanthropic relationship between the University and its major philanthropic supporters.
• Developing bespoke philanthropic packages for our major donors and volunteers to inspire them to enjoy and engage with fundraising and volunteering. These packages will span the giving lifecycle from donor identification and cultivation through to thanking and recognition.

• It is expected that new ‘supporter leads’ will come from a variety of sources including the wider DARO team, academic and staff networks and volunteer, donor, and University friend networks.
