The opportunity

The four Development Manager roles are fundraising posts situated within UAL’s central Development department.  Each post is allocated to a specific college unit of the university to provide dedicated support to that college’s fundraising efforts and to help co-ordinate fundraising efforts across UAL.  The four roles are therefore as follows:

-       Development Manager (Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon)

-       Development Manager (Central Saint Martins)

-       Development Manager (London College of Communication)

-       Development Manager (London College of Fashion)

As a new post, the exact workload and priorities of each Development Manager will be developed in association with the Director of Development and key staff in each college to ensure that the role meets college needs, but tasks are likely to include:

-       Managing a portfolio of funding relationships with key individuals or organisations donating to the college, and supporting non-fundraising staff (such as Heads of College and other senior academics) in maintaining their own relationships;

-       Identifying new prospective supporters and developing plans for approach alongside relevant Development and college colleagues;

-       Ensuring that records of all relationships are kept up to date on our central database and liaising with colleagues to ensure that no duplication of approaches are made across UAL;

-       Acting as the Development department’s lead with a particular college, building strong relationships with key individuals and keeping the department updated on key developments;

-       Leading on or supporting others on college fundraising initiatives such as events, crowdfunding, appeals, and so on.

-       Ensuring best practice in all aspects of our fundraising, including but not limited to: data protection, gift accepting and gift handling, naming conventions, and so on.

 

About you

Development Managers will be experienced fundraisers with a successful track record in at least one fundraising discipline – such as major giving, trusts and foundations, corporate fundraising or events – but with the ability to provide generalist fundraising support to a wide range of colleagues on a variety of activities.  In particular, Development Managers must be able to support college staff with a range of fundraising opportunities and to work closely with specialists in UAL’s central Development department (including those leading on major gifts, trusts and foundations, database management and prospect research) and the Partnerships team (corporate and alumni relations) to maximise our fundraising efforts.
