Senior Philanthropy Manager

Salary from £54,196 to £61,833 pa inclusive with potential to progress to £68,295 pa inclusive of London allowance

This salary is inclusive of a £5000 market supplement.

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is a world-renowned institution for the study of the social sciences in their broadest sense, from economics, politics and law to sociology, anthropology, information systems, accounting and finance.

The School is entering an exciting period in its 125-year history. LSE 2030 will deliver a new strategic direction that will preserve and build on LSE’s status as a world leading social science university that educates brilliant minds and creates knowledge that can transform global societies for a global impact.

In November 2021, LSE publicly launched a major new philanthropy Campaign – Shaping the World – to underpin the LSE 2030 goals. Over 50% of our £350 million Campaign goal has already been raised during the leadership phase, generating huge momentum within the School and among our global network of supporters. There couldn’t be a better moment to join us.

This essential role will sit within LSE’s Philanthropy and Global Engagement Division (PAGE). The post will focus on international fundraising and the role holder will play a leading role in developing the Philanthropy team’s fundraising strategy within key international regions, providing in-country expertise to colleagues across the team. They will join a dynamic and growing team and will play an essential role by increasing income generation in support of the Campaign’s fundraising priorities.

  • Personally solicit major gifts (c.£250k - £1m) and pledges to an agreed target, as part of the Philanthropy team’s annual income target.
  • Work with the Head of Philanthropy to develop a strategy for international fundraising at the six-figure level.
  • Line manage up to two Philanthropy Managers providing exceptional motivation, leadership and direction.
  • Become a fundraising lead for at least one of the Campaign priorities.
