Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900 by Joseph Chamberlain.  Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University with funds supporting life-changing research, scholarships and new facilities.  This year we launched our new campaign, Birmingham In Action, which aims to transform lives for our generation and the next by tackling some of the world’s greatest challenges.  These challenges include access to education, cancer, youth mental health, the environment (including climate change and plastic pollution) and migration.  The campaign is a truly global campaign (having launched in Birmingham, London, Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco) and aims to raise £400 million, and secure 1 million hours of volunteering, making it one of the largest campaigns in the UK Higher Education sector.

The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support our student and research community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities.  The Office, which is comprised of 60 staff across five teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from graduates, alumni and individuals who are passionate about changing lives, through funding various research trials, supporting student scholarships, mentoring students, and providing internships.

The Fundraising Relationship Manager role is your opportunity to join our excellent team at an exciting time. You will have sales experience or major gifts expertise, and will be passionate about progressing your career and understand the impact the University’s teaching and research has on the world.  Your role will be responsible for the relationship management of a portfolio of prospective and existing donors. You will seek to gain knowledge and understanding of the giving preferences of these audiences, and work to help the University to develop a philanthropic offer that meets their interests. All activities will be delivered in close collaboration with DARO colleagues as well as other parts of the University. 

As part of an award winning team and led by some of the most respected names in higher education fundraising, you will work with our current Fundraising Relationship Managers to generate gifts to the University and encourage new donors to make long-term, sustainable and significant (5 and 6-figure) gifts. Your objectives and KPIs will be set by the Head of Philanthropy. You will also have the opportunity to work with our senior team on major proposals to top donors enabling you to get experience of working with some of the most successful and experienced major gift fundraisers in the UK Higher Education sector. 

St Edmund Hall has an ambitious 10-year vision to develop its teaching, research, culture, finance and to become the most environmentally sustainable college in Oxford. Major gifts will be critical if we are to achieve our goals and we now seek to appoint a Philanthropy Manager who shares our ambition.

The Philanthropy Manager will report to the Director of Development and will work with existing and prospective major donors within our pool of alumni. You will make face-to-face funding requests, building on your experience of securing five and six figure gifts.

There are a number of exciting funding projects that we believe alumni will be keen to support, including capital development of student accommodation, support for bursaries and scholarships and new initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint of the College.

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will be out of the office for 60% of their week, most typically in London. The College is therefore open to applications from candidates who live outside of Oxford provided they are committed to travelling to Oxford once a week (more frequently during induction period and when required to do so).

This is a 2-year fixed-term position and the College is also open to considering flexible or part-time working for this role.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proven fundraiser to play a pivotal role in a successful team and develop their fundraising career.

To be successful in this role, you will have a demonstrable track record in major gift fundraising.  You’ll be entrepreneurial and results-driven with outstanding communication and influencing skills and the presence, gravitas and intellect to operate effectively at all levels.

In return, we offer highly competitive rewards and benefits including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, subsidised bus pass loan, cycle to work scheme loan, season ticket loan, an employee assistance programme, a free lunch whilst on duty and free eye sight testing with a contribution towards the cost of spectacles if necessary and various University of Oxford discounts.

Application Process

Interested applicants should forward the following documents:

1. A Cover Sheet giving the contact details of two referees. One referee should be the applicant’s current or most recent manager or supervisor.
2. A current CV.
3. A covering letter, which explains how you meet the selection criteria for the post.

Documents should be sent in PDF format, preferably by email by 09:00 on Monday, March 16, 2020.  Postal applications should be sent to the HR Manager, St Edmund Hall, Queen’s Lane, Oxford, OX1 4AR.  Shortlisted applicants will be invited to interview soon after the closing date.  Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Please also consider completing the online Equal Opportunity Monitoring Form.  Submission of this form is voluntary and does not form part of the selection process, but we would be grateful if you are willing to return it with your application to assist us with our equal opportunity monitoring.

The Fundraising Assistant will help increase the capacity of our fundraising team to deliver additional income that will support the charity’s goals.

We are looking for a committed and highly organised assistant with strong written and verbal communication skills to join our small and friendly team. Reporting to the Philanthropy Manager, you will be a self-starter with a high degree of motivation to provide the best possible experience for the charity’s supporters and bring effective administrative skills to ensure the efficient running of our fundraising team. You will have the opportunity to recruit and line-manage fundraising interns, with support as appropriate from the Philanthropy Manager.

Initially we are offering 14-21 hours per week, with the potential for flexible working arrangements including some home working and/or specific hours.
