Development Executive - GLAM

We are looking for a talented fundraiser, ideally with a background in the cultural sector to join the Gardens, Libraries & Museums (GLAM) Team within the Development and Alumni Engagement team of the University of Oxford.

Primarily based at the Ashmolean Museum, the Development Executive will play a critical role in helping advance the mission and priority projects of the Museum, working closely with the Museum’s Head of Development, Director, curatorial and public engagement teams.

The Ashmolean’s collections are important and renowned on their own accounts, but also play a key role in the University’s research.  They are open doors to the University of Oxford, encouraging a diverse range of communities to engage with our academics and curators.

About the role:

Your role will include fundraising to support the Ashmolean across a variety of areas, including exhibitions, public programmes, capital, endowment and acquisition projects as agreed with the Director, and will involve working with individuals, trusts and corporations.  You will be responsible for a portfolio of donors, including prospecting and stewardship.  As part of the wider GLAM fundraising team, you will also be responsible for delivery of stewardship events and get involved with wider appeal activities.  You will work with curators and Directors in the various institutions and have the opportunity to frame appealing projects to present to prospects.

This is an opportunity to raise funds to support some of the most beautiful and significant objects and collections in the country, and to work as part of the highly successful fundraising team at the University of Oxford and the Museum.
