Job description

The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences - is seeking a Development Operations and Stewardship Officer to join our Development Directorate, providing key support within a small fundraising team of 9. It’s a particularly exciting time to join the Development Team - we’ve recently completed a successful capital campaign (£9.5m raised) and are now in planning stages of our next major fundraising initiative.

The role

This role is central to ensuring our supporters feel valued and engaged. You’ll help deliver the operational side of donor stewardship from processing income and coordinating communications, to supporting events and managing donor data. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the Academy, including Development, Communications, Finance and Programme Teams, to ensure our donors are well supported and celebrated.

This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who enjoys working across teams, communicating clearly, and managing multiple priorities. You’ll be proactive, organised and creative in your approach, with a keen eye for detail and a genuine interest in strengthening relationships. Whether you’re coordinating tailored donor communications, supporting the Development Board, or helping deliver impactful events, your work will help ensure our supporters feel understood and appreciated.

If you’re looking to grow your career in fundraising and stewardship within a values driven organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Academy

The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences, established by Royal Charter in 1902. We mobilise these disciplines to understand the world and shape a brighter future. Today’s complex challenges can only be resolved by deepening our insight into people, culture, and societies. With a Fellowship of around 1700 leading national and international academics, the Academy invests in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas; engages the public with fresh thinking and debates; and brings together scholars, government, business, and civil society to influence policy.

The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing; Development; Policy; Research; and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team.

Working at the Academy

Our senior management team have worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy, in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals. Our people strategy and working practices focus on building strengths and sharing insights, with learning & development, wellbeing, and equality, diversity & inclusion at the centre of how we operate as an organisation. Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success, as we move forward and continue to grow. Find out more about the British Academy, including our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement, on our website.

Terms and conditions

The British Academy is based at 10-11, Carlton House Terrace, St James Park, London, SW1 – a Grade 1 listed building. We offer a competitive benefits package including a 35-hour working week; 34 days’ annual leave plus Bank Holidays; a subsidised canteen and an excellent occupational pension.

How to apply

We use Applied for our recruitment. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. Instead of using CVs, candidates are asked to answer questions that test skills needed for the role. The responses are then anonymised and reviewed in a random order by members of the hiring panel.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, in line with our commitment to create a diverse and inclusive working environment, promote equal opportunity, and address under-representation. We will make reasonable adjustments to support disabled job applicants and offer an interview to those meeting the minimum selection criteria.

Please contact the HR team if you have any questions.

Please click Apply to apply on the Applied recruitment platform.

 Applications must be received no later than 12:00 noon on 10 November 2025.
