We're delighted to be partnering with The Queen’s College, University of Oxford to support their recruitment of a High-Value Giving Officer on a permanent basis.
The Queen’s College is one of Oxford’s oldest and most iconic institutions, beautifully located on the city’s historic High Street. Home to a vibrant academic community of around 330 undergraduates, 160 graduates, 45 Fellows, and a worldwide alumni network of nearly 6,500 contactable Old Members, Queen’s combines centuries of tradition with a bold vision for the future.
About the Role:
We are looking for a dynamic and highly motivated High-Value Giving Officer to join their successful and growing Development & Alumni Relations team. You will lead on cultivating, stewarding, and securing major philanthropic support from Old Members and friends of the College, with a particular focus on legacy gifts of £25,000 and above.
This is a pivotal role within a team that has already helped raise over £40 million through the Access All Areas campaign—supporting student access, outreach (including our ground-breaking partnership with The Access Project), and the endowment of academic Fellowships.
You’ll be building on strong foundations. The alumni events programme is diverse, well-attended, and internationally recognised. The community is generous, engaged, and keen to support Queen’s vision. We now seek someone who can help us harness this enthusiasm into long-term, high-impact philanthropy.
Your Focus
- Lead Relationship Manager for a growing group of high-value donors and prospects, serving as their key point of contact within the College.
- Design and implement bespoke stewardship strategies that engage, inspire and recognise major donors—ensuring they feel a deep, personal connection to Queen’s.
- Take ownership of the Taberdars’ Society, the College’s long-standing donor recognition group and help evolve its role to celebrate both existing and future high-value supporters.
- Work closely with senior College figures, including the Provost, Bursar, Fellows, and academics, to align donor aspirations with strategic priorities.
- Collaborate with the wider Old Members’ Office to ensure a joined-up approach to donor cultivation, stewardship, and communications.
We’re seeking a confident and relationship-driven professional with:
- Experience in educational or non-profit fundraising, especially in managing donor pipelines and stewardship for gifts of £25K+.
- The tact and creativity to build long-term relationships and deepen donor engagement over time.
- A strategic mindset, able to forecast and manage a high-value giving pipeline in line with College priorities.
- Willingness to work collaboratively as part of a small, high-performing team, supporting alumni events and broader development initiatives as needed.
- Strong interpersonal skills, high emotional intelligence, and a genuine passion for education and philanthropy.
What Success Looks Like
- Growing year-on-year membership and engagement with high-value donors.
- Successfully stewarded gifts that reflect donor intent and deliver meaningful impact across Queen’s academic, outreach and student life.
- Thoughtful, timely communications with donors and prospects, including written correspondence, one-to-one meetings, and events.
- Maintaining accurate and detailed records in the College’s CRM system, enabling insightful reporting and forecasting.
