We remain focused on making a major contribution to the long term benefit of humanity. In September 2016 UCL launched ‘It’s All Academic’, our bold new global Philanthropy and Engagement Campaign to raise £600m to support students, research and the transformation of our campus. It will enable us to achieve more than ever before to secure our position as one of the world’s top higher education institutions.

From fighting dementia to ensuring generations of students reach their full potential: It's All Academic. UCL’s ideas and discoveries are shaping the future, improving lives and having a massive impact on London and the wider world. There has never been a more exciting time to join our Development office. We are a team of exceptionally ambitious, creative and passionate individuals who work together to achieve remarkable things with a global impact, and we would love for you to be part of this exciting journey and our success.

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in delivering our Campaign. As Senior Philanthropy Manager you will raise philanthropic income at the six and seven figure level from a variety of income streams to support the priority projects within the Campaign.

You will have demonstrable success in managing a high value and diverse portfolio of clients / donors including complex relationships. You will be a sophisticated communicator with a highly persuasive and creative writing style and the confidence to build relationships with donors and colleagues right across our complex organization.
