In addition to housing a Humanities Library and 7 academic faculties, the Schwarzman Centre includes a world-class, purpose-built concert hall space, theatre, cinema and ‘black box’ performance space, creating a new home for music, film, performing arts and visual arts in Oxford and transforming the experience for students, academics and the local community. The building will create a step change in the visual and performing arts in Oxford, establishing a central base for the Music faculty and History of Art department while offering exciting potential for collaboration with the Ruskin School of Art.
The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. We are looking for a new senior fundraiser to join our energetic team to raise major gifts for a range of posts, scholarships and other priorities across the Humanities Division.

· Confidence to work with people from a range of backgrounds, both internally and externally
· The ability to think creatively in prospecting, cultivation and stewardship by identifying and maximising opportunities
· To work well as part of a team, with the capacity to work independently on projects and priorities
· A passion for the arts and humanities, and an awareness of the funding landscape in the UK and internationally
