Harris Hill are delighted to be partnering up with the University of Oxford to find them a Senior Development Executive, who will be raising funds for their world-class Mathematics department. 

This is an exciting time to join the development team in the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division, and to work specifically with the Mathematical Institute.  The department has a strong platform of fundraising, having raised significant funds for the Andrew Wiles Building and numerous scholarship programmes.

In this role you will:

  • Implement solicitation strategies to secure major gift and legacies support (typically between £500,000 and £1,000,000) often working jointly with a senior academic.
  • Identify prospective donors with whom the University will aim to develop significant philanthropic relationships and build a robust prospect pipeline.
  • Be able to understand academically complex projects and explain and promote them to potential, non-specialist donors.

Skills that are required to apply for this role:

  • Proven fundraising experience in a complex organisation and direct involvement in securing major gifts or corporate partnerships
  • An ability to think both strategically and tactically about the relations between potential donors and fundraising goals
  • An ability to provide specialist expertise in the area of major gift giving, and to develop a long-term strategy for the solicitation of principal gifts
  • A passion for science or maths.

Why work for the University of Oxford:

  • Working with world-class academics and fundraisers.
  • Hybrid working options available, with an office base in central Oxford at the fantastic Andrew Wiles Building, purpose built for the Mathematical Institute in 2013.
  • Departmental Employee Assistance Programme in place, offering colleagues confidential support and counselling on a range of issues, when needed.
  • University employees enjoy 38 days’ paid holiday, generous pension schemes, travel discounts, and a variety of professional development opportunities.

Closing date: 24 April at 12:00 noon

Interviews are: 9 May in person at the University of Oxford
