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!

Who we are
St Werburghs City Farm is an inner-city community hub for land-based opportunities. We understand the importance that green space has for our collective health and wellbeing, which is why all our work is based on strengthening the connections between land, animals and people. We know that enjoyment of green space, access to local food, and opportunities in the agricultural sector are not equal, and we are committed to addressing this imbalance in our work. We appreciate that everyone has skills, experience and assets to share, which is why we base our approach on co-design and delivery with and for our community. We target our work at those experiencing mental ill-health, disadvantage and/or marginalisation. We are working to create a future where communities grow, green spaces flourish, and together we thrive.
About the role
We are looking for someone who wants to make a real and lasting difference to people’s lives, taking the lead on generating the income required to deliver the Farm’s services and maintain our central functions and infrastructure. With support from the Farm’s Director, who is an experienced fundraiser, you will develop and implement the fundraising strategy for the Farm, leading on the delivery of key activities, initiatives and opportunities.
You will confidently take on the leadership of the Farm’s well-established fundraising from trusts and foundations, growing our unrestricted income base and attracting multi-year funding to support our projects. Your experience will also enable you to take the lead on establishing a new individual giving programme for the Farm, creating and implementing a stewardship strategy alongside the Marketing, Events & Communications Operational Manager. We anticipate that the postholder will spend 75% of their time managing and growing our existing trusts and foundations portfolio and 25% on building a new individual giving programme. We are looking for someone with experience (or demonstrable transferable skills and knowledge) and a willingness to work on both areas.
As a member of the Farm’s Leadership Team, you will work closely with the Director and Operational Managers to ensure that our fundraising strategy enables us to deliver against our objectives, as well as supporting project managers and other staff to contribute to the development of relevant fundraising opportunities.
For a full list of responsibilities, and for details of how to apply, please refer to the attached job description. We are happy to have informal conversations about the role prior to application.
