Individual Giving Manager

Donors to the University of Sheffield do incredible things. From opening-up education to talented students no matter their background, to helping researchers make life-changing medical breakthroughs.

Could you inspire more people to give? If you’re a confident communicator and skilled project manager, then you could be our next Individual Giving Manager.

This fundraising role is in the Campaigns and Alumni Relations department (CAR). We’re responsible for raising money and building lifelong relationships with our graduates. Within CAR, our friendly Individual Giving team works to raise gifts of up to £10,000 by mail, digital fundraising and by building personal relationships. The Individual Giving Manager will:

• Deliver fundraising appeals through a range of channels (including direct mail and email).
• Demonstrate the impact of each donor’s support and ensure they have an exceptional experience.

This role would suit someone who is experienced managing multiple projects and delivering them on time and to budget.

You’ll also be a strategic-thinker, able to plan a programme of activities that engage and solicit prospective donors. And you’ll be an engaging communicator, capable of building relationships with both donors and colleagues or external agencies who help to deliver fundraising appeals.

As this role involves working across teams and the wider University, you should be confident in taking the lead on collaborative projects and navigating differing opinions to reach consensus.
