Senior Philanthropy Manager (Asia)

About us

There has never been a more exciting time to join the UCL Advancement office as we plan for our biggest ever fundraising and engagement campaign and support the delivery of the bicentennial programme in 2026. We are a team of exceptionally ambitious, creative and passionate individuals who work together to achieve remarkable things with a global impact, and we would love for you to be part of this exciting journey and our success.

About the role

As Senior Philanthropy Manager (Asia) you will raise philanthropic income at the six-figure and seven-figure level from a variety of income streams to support Advancement activity. This role will focus on donors and prospects in Asia, primarily East Asia.

We are happy to consider applications to work on a part-time, flexible and job share basis wherever possible (minimum 0.8 FTE – equivalent of 4 days per week, stated salary to be pro-rata). This role is eligible for hybrid working with a minimum of 20% on site.

About you

You will have a significant track record in fundraising or income generation and a proven track record of securing income from high net worth individuals or high value organisations at the six-figure and 7-figure plus level. You will be a highly persuasive and sophisticated communicator with the confidence to build relationships with donors and colleagues right across our complex organisation.

You will be a highly collaborative team member, with the ability to plan and execute complex international trips with close attention to detail across multiple stakeholders.

We are pleased to accept applications from individuals who possess transferable skills and experience drawn from sectors outside of Higher Education.

What we offer

We know that our people are our greatest asset and in return we provide an empowering environment where personal and professional growth is invested in. We offer agile working and flexibility around working hours. Working with some of the greatest intellects in the world, UCL also offers a generous pension scheme and holiday allowance, plus closure days and bank holidays.

As London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce.
