As Head of Regular Giving, you’ll take the lead on one of the largest – and most exciting – mass fundraising programmes in UK Higher Education.
Regular Giving at Manchester includes a range of channels and audiences: from fundraisers taking part in challenge events to donors supporting our major appeals with single or regular gifts. Our programme raises more than £1 million every year – with clear opportunity to grow this further by engaging new audiences and building targeted journeys for key segments.
As our new Head of Regular Giving, you’ll have the career-defining opportunity to lead our successful programme into the public phase of our University’s first fundraising and volunteering campaign. You’ll take the lead on planning and delivering a programme of acquisition and retention activity, combining mail, phone, digital, community and relationship fundraising to engage alumni, staff, students and friends of the University, and inspire them to take action.
As our subject matter expert for Regular Giving, you’ll collaborate with colleagues across the Division and beyond to identify opportunities to support the University’s strategic goals. You’ll provide coaching, mentoring and leadership to your direct reports, collaborate with key colleagues across regular giving, leadership giving and legacies to shape ambitious ideas and act as a visible and proactive leader across the wider team.
With excitement and momentum around Regular Giving, a supportive leadership team, and an inspiring case for support, this is a rare opportunity for an exceptional Regular Giving leader to take their career to the next level.
