Surrey is made up of many talented individuals who make us a great institution. And working together, and connecting with external institutions, businesses and government, makes us even stronger.

With ambitious fundraising goals, we are already making a significant impact on the future of our university. It’s been two years since we launched our £60m global comprehensive fundraising and engagement Campaign The Future Says Surrey, and we’ve built momentum very quickly and have already made excellent progress.

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.

You possess excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and inspire donors.
