Are you a senior fundraiser who wants to focus on Principal Gifts? Or perhaps you are a major gifts fundraiser who is ready for a leadership role?
We are recruiting our new Associate Director of Principal Giving to lead our Principal Gifts programme – a programme of ambition and almost endless potential.
As Associate Director of Principal Giving, you will work at the most senior levels with individuals, companies, and trusts and foundations in the UK and internationally. A vital member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will be a key source of strategic guidance and support for university leaders, academics, and fundraising colleagues across the University.
This is an opportunity to make your mark on one of the largest campaigns in the history of UK higher education, Birmingham In Action. Our £600m campaign aims to transform lives for our generation and the next, by tackling some of the world’s greatest challenges, today - challenges such as youth mental health, the climate crisis, AI, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
A key member of the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to and working closely with the Director of Development and Alumni Relations, you will have the opportunity to work on transformational gifts – interesting, complex, exciting gifts that will have global impact.
Our team here is passionate, creative, ambitious, and made up of individuals who are dedicated to our work, as well as to supporting each other. We are determined to welcome a diverse group of colleagues into our team to represent the student body we support, the alumni constituency we engage with, and the city in which we thrive.
You will be a values-driven leader, entrepreneurially minded, and comfortable orchestrating a myriad of stakeholders. With a track record of securing gifts of 6 figures upwards, you will have a demonstrable record of building relationships and engaging with philanthropists and high net-worth individuals.
If you are attracted by the scale of the ambition here, the excellence of the campaign, and the fantastic opportunity that working for a large, civic University with over 400,000 alumni around the world offers, please get in touch. We hope to hear from you!

Chief Executive Officer
Location: Hybrid – Regular weekly time in the Head Office in Cheam, Sutton, Surrey, regular national travel and a maximum of 2 days remote working per week
Sector: Not-for-Profit
Client: Charity for Civil Servants
Job Type: Permanent
Salary: ~£100,000-£130,000
Reference: GSe109327
Closing Date: Sunday 28th April 2024
Across the working and retired civil service community our mission is to help people overcome life’s challenges and thrive. The Charity offers lifelong practical, financial and emotional support, advice and guidance for people wherever we can. Last year people came to us for help over 70,000 times and we spent £6.7m (c.£2m in financial grants alone) supporting people in need of our help. Everything we do as an organisation underpins the Charity’s vision of a supportive community in which everyone has the chance to live their life to the full.
After 9 years in the role, our CEO is retiring and the Charity is looking for its next leader. To continue the great work of the last few years, the Charity is looking for an inspiring new CEO to guide the organisation through a significant period of change and development.
We are seeking a commercially astute values-led senior leader with a wealth of experience operating at Board level, managing and navigating the complex strategic, financial, and governance issues that come with leading the business, in any CEO role. You will demonstrate the intellectual depth, gravitas, and conviction to engage top-level civil servants with the credibility and powers of persuasion needed to win their support and significantly increase income.
The Charity is looking for someone who is as comfortable leading, managing and communicating with people, as they are with developing strategic propositions and writing business plans. So the successful candidate will be a positive and outward-looking leader who naturally inspires confidence, motivates others and who enjoys working as part of a team.
