The Role

Join a mission-driven team shaping the future of philanthropy at the University.

We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented individual to play a pivotal role across two key areas of our Advancement team: Operational Support and Donor Relations. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to both the strategic backbone of fundraising and the storytelling that inspires continued generosity.

This role provides research, analytical and systems support ensuring fundraising efficiency and compliance with the governance requirements of the Fundraising Code of Practice and the University's ethical policies in relation to the acceptance of donations are met.

This role is full-time, fixed-term position for 9 months ending in September 2026. As a team, we work flexibly and are open to specific requests.
