Head of Individual and Corporate Philanthropy

Queen's University Belfast - Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO)

Since 1845, Queen’s University staff, students and alumni have made a difference to societies, locally, nationally and internationally. Today we are one of the UK and Ireland’s leading Universities and continue to shape and serve the world around us through our research and teaching. Over 99% of Queen’s research environment was assessed as world-leading or internationally excellent, with Queen’s ranked 198 in the 2023 Times Higher Education World University Rankings. 

This is an exciting time to join Queen’s as we embark on the next phase of our development as a university. Our ten-year plan, Strategy 2030, sets out our roadmap to shape a better world through our education and research and reflects our aim to maintain close connections with our highly valued community of alumni around the world, ensuring they are ambassadors for Queen’s. As part of the delivery of Strategy 2030, a new Executive Leadership team structure has been created which brings together Development and Alumni Relations, Civic Engagement and Social Responsibility and Strategic Communications under the leadership of the Vice-President Strategic Engagement and External Affairs, supporting the growth and enhancing the reach of the Development and Alumni Relations Office.

Working with the Queen’s University of Belfast Foundation, the Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO), works to develop new and innovative opportunities to engage with our community of alumni and supporters and to foster sustained philanthropic relationships and support for Queen’s, helping to shape a world-class campus, inspire great minds to tackle pressing global challenges and ensure that students, regardless of their background, are given every opportunity to fulfil their potential. 

Philanthropy is hugely important at Queen’s and an area with significant potential.  As part of an ambitious plan to harness this potential, DARO is undergoing an exciting period of transformation which has included investment in new roles to underpin fundraising and drive forward the strategy.

As part of these exciting plans for expansion, Queen’s University Belfast wishes to appoint a Head of Individual and Corporate Philanthropy. As a key member of the University’s fundraising leadership team, the Head of Individual and Corporate Philanthropy will lead, manage and develop a high performing team and ensure the smooth integration of individual, corporate and legacy giving across the Philanthropy Team to deliver growing, sustainable philanthropic income to support the mission and successful delivery of the University’s strategic priorities. 

Alongside the Director of Development and Alumni Relations, the Assistant Director (Philanthropy) and fundraising team, the successful candidate will play a key role in growing the philanthropic performance of DARO from £4million new funds secured per annum to at least £10million new funds secured per annum over the next five years. Leading by example, you will personally manage a select portfolio of major and principal gift prospective donors and secure transformational support from them.

The post is based at Queen’s University Belfast, University Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT7 1NN.

SALARY: £56,048 - £64,946 per annum
