- Hybrid working from Leeds office
The Head of Global Philanthropy is a new senior role responsible for leading the development of major philanthropic partnerships with funding organisations. The post-holder will have responsibility for leading the University’s Trusts & Foundations (T&Fs) fundraising strategy, embedding and developing the programme to significantly increase the levels of funding from this critical income stream.
A confident and entrepreneurial fundraiser, the Head of Global Philanthropy will lead on relationships with a portfolio of major T&F prospects capable of giving seven- and eight-figure gifts, as well as collaborating with colleagues to ensure shared targets for T&Fs income are achieved. The postholder will be a senior member of the Philanthropy leadership team and will work closely with other functional leads and colleagues across the Advancement team and wider University to optimise conditions for ambitious philanthropy.
A key aspect of the role will be to develop propositions for fundraising which align with the University’s strategic priorities and map onto international funder interest, helping to embed fundraising as a key enabler of strategic delivery.
Alongside developing University of Leeds’ relationships with – and income from – T&Fs based in the UK, the postholder will also have significant responsibility and accountability for developing new international funding markets. T&Fs income growth is critical in support of plans to double the University’s philanthropic income from a current average of £10M per annum to £20M per annum, and then towards a target of £30M per annum by 2030.
The role reports to the Deputy Director of Advancement and will also work closely with the Head of Transformational and Major Giving, who leads on individual philanthropy as well as managing the team of fundraisers. All fundraisers have mixed portfolios of individual and organisational prospects, and the Head of Global Philanthropy will provide support and leadership to build capacity and drive momentum in T&Fs income growth. This is a key role at the heart of a passionate team which is committed to delivering ambitious fundraising targets in order to advance educational and research projects that help address global challenges and reduce inequalities.
