About the role:

Are you an experienced prospect researcher, who is passionate about connecting donors with opportunities to make a significant difference to students, researchers and society?

As the University of Leicester plans for its first large-scale, multi-year fundraising campaign, we are looking to appoint an exceptional, motivated individual to be a key member of the Development and Alumni Relations Office.

The exciting campaign will enable a broad range of truly transformative projects across the University, to help further its impact on our society and firmly secure a second century of change.

This role is one of a number of new positions that will be advertised in the coming months, making it an exciting time to join.

The post holder will play a central role in the team's success during this period of growing investment, with significant opportunity to contribute to the future direction of our hybrid-working team.

You will play a transformative role by delivering a pro-active research service, identifying new potential sources of major gifts and continuing to keep the portfolio of current and prospective supporters up-to-date.

You will work closely with the Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement teams to match supporter motivations with opportunities for engagement with the University through philanthropy, volunteering and advocacy, supporting strategic university priorities.

About you:

You will be an experienced Prospect Researcher with strong organisation and communication skills, with attention to detail and the ability to solve problems independently.

You will possess the necessary experience to continually refine and improve processes while managing and inspiring other members of the Prospect Research team.

We are looking for someone who is composed, collaborative, thrives in a fast-paced environment and shares in the team's success.

Additional information:

We anticipate that interviews will take place during the week commencing 27th March 2023.

Within our hybrid-working team, we would expect you to work from campus at least one day per week.

The University of Leicester has been changing the world, and changing people's lives, for 100 years.

When you join us, you'll become part of a community of Citizens of Change, which includes not only our staff and our current students but also thousands of Leicester graduates around the world.

As a diverse and forward-thinking employer, we embed the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion into everything we do.

That includes not just our core missions of teaching and research, but also our support for staff, students and our local community.

We're committed to the wellbeing of all our staff and to the sustainability of our environment, on our campus and beyond.

We offer a competitive salary package, excellent pension scheme and a generous annual leave allowance, along with opportunities to develop your career in a supportive and collaborative environment.
