Newnham College

MAJOR GIFT OFFICER

Newnham College boasts a flourishing, intellectual community and a first-class reputation. It thrives on its founding principle: promoting academic excellence for women.

Strong alumnae relations and communications are recognized by the College as fundamental for effective fund-raising. Newnham has a vibrant and expanding alumnae relations programme supported fully by the Principal, herself an alumna. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced major gift fund-raiser to make a significant contribution to the College as part of a vibrant expanding team.

The successful candidate will need to demonstrate an excellent track record in fund-raising from individuals and trusts. This experience will ideally have been gained in an academic, arts, heritage or similar environment where an intelligent approach to building relationships is key to success.

A good networker with sophisticated social skills, the successful candidate will relish the opportunity to work with a high achieving Director of Development, Alumnae Relations Officer, Annual Fund Officer, and Assistant. Excellent written and listening skills are essential as is a flexible and professional attitude.
