Summary of the role
Philanthropy plays an increasingly significant role in the success of the University of Exeter. Our most recent campaign, Making the Exceptional Happen, raised over £70m and 100,000 volunteering hours in support the institution’s mission. As the University begins a new chapter with the launch of its 2030 Strategy, we are seeking to recruit outstanding, experienced and resilient fundraisers to help us plan and deliver our future philanthropic endeavours.
You will identify and generate significant philanthropic income from individuals (predominantly University of Exeter alumni) and organisations in the UK and overseas. Working collaboratively with colleagues, you will seek funding for a wide range of university priorities, allying them to donor interests.
With a track record of securing major gifts, you will maximise your experience to generate five and six figure donations on a regular basis. Your excellent communication skills and the vision to work across university departments will facilitate revenue generation.
You must be able to develop and demonstrate a thorough understanding of the University and our strengths and priorities. Above all, you must understand donor motivation and expand the pool of potential donors by using your own initiative.
Please ensure you read the Job Description and Person Specification (available on the university's website, accessed by the 'Apply' button) for full details of this role.
