Harris Hill are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected international charity to recruit a Head of Corporate Development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a growing corporate fundraising programme within a values-led organisation making a real impact across the world. You'll combine strategic relationship management with new business development, working with corporate partners across the UK, Europe and internationally.

A real highlight of the role is the opportunity for international travel (approximately 6–7 weeks per year), with recent trips including Singapore, Japan, Dubai and across Europe.

The Role

You'll lead corporate fundraising, delivering an annual income target of around £900,000 through a broad portfolio of corporate partnerships. Unlike many charities, income comes from a diverse range of supporters rather than a handful of large six-figure donors, making strong relationship management and business development equally important.

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Has strong corporate fundraising experience.
• Enjoys both account management and winning new business.
• Is a confident relationship builder who isn't afraid to make the ask.
• Is commercially minded and solutions-focused.
• Is comfortable using fundraising data and CRM systems.
• Has experience managing or developing people.
• Is excited by working with both UK and international partners.

Why Apply?

You'll be joining an organisation with an exceptional culture, a long-standing leadership team and an ambitious fundraising function that has grown from just 3 people in 2017 to 14 today. It's a collaborative, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy working and where you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful global impact.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV together with a supporting statement of no more than 500 words outlining your suitability for the role by 12:00pm on Tuesday 25 August 2026.

First-round interviews: Monday 7 or Tuesday 8 September 2026 (virtual)

Head of Alumni Engagement & Operations with Kingston University
£60,996 (negotiable) | Full-time (37 hours) | Hybrid working | Kingston upon Thames
 

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with Kingston University to recruit their next Head of Alumni Engagement & Operations.

Kingston University has spent over 125 years transforming lives through education, innovation and opportunity. With TEF Gold recognition across the board, and a Town House Strategy that's rewriting what a modern education looks like, we are focused on helping students develop the skills, networks and experiences to thrive throughout their careers. Integral to this ambition is our global community of more than 280,000 alumni, who's futures have been shaped by the university.

As Head of Alumni Engagement & Operation, part of the senior leadership team of our Development, Alumni Relations and Engagement (DARE) team, you will help us build lifelong relationships with our alumni to support future growth and success.

About the role:

We have a 3-year strategy in place to develop alumni engagement, increase participation and embed philanthropy more deeply across the University, with full support of senior leadership across the board. This is a fantastic opportunity to join our growing team and work with senior stakeholders across the University, to champion the role alumni can play in student success, employability, mentoring, partnerships and philanthropy, and develop a lifelong alumni offer.

Reporting in to the Director of DARE, you'll lead a broad portfolio including alumni communications, events, volunteering, individual giving, CRM, data insight and operational delivery.

About you:

We're looking for someone who understands the power of communities and relationships.

This is a broad leadership role spanning alumni engagement, communications, volunteering, individual giving, CRM, data insight and operational delivery. While experience within alumni relations or advancement in higher education would be valuable, we're equally interested in hearing from candidates from the charity, membership, fundraising, supporter engagement or relationship management sectors. What matters most is your ability to build communities, create meaningful engagement opportunities, use insight to drive decision-making and inspire people to connect with a shared purpose.

You'll be strategic enough to shape the future direction of alumni engagement at Kingston, whilst remaining hands-on enough to build relationships, spot opportunities and bring colleagues and stakeholders with you.

You'll bring:

• Experience developing and delivering successful alumni engagement, advancement, membership, supporter engagement or relationship-management programmes.

• A track record of building communities, growing participation and creating meaningful engagement opportunities
• Strong leadership skills and experience developing high-performing teams
• Confidence using insight, data and CRM systems to inform strategy and decision-making
• Experience overseeing communications, events, volunteering, supporter engagement or related activities
• An understanding of how long-term relationships can lead to advocacy, mentoring, volunteering, partnerships and giving

Most importantly, you'll believe that alumni engagement is about much more than communications and events. You'll be excited by the opportunity to help graduates become mentors, volunteers, advocates, partners and lifelong supporters of the University.

Benefits include

• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Excellent pension scheme
• Hybrid working (with a minimum of 50% of time spent on campus)
• Access to professional development opportunities
• A supportive and inclusive working environment
• The opportunity to shape a high-profile function at one of London's leading universities
