About the role
Reporting to the Head of Regular Giving and Direct Marketing, the Regular Giving Officer is responsible for assisting with the delivery of all regular giving programs across the team. The Regular Giving Team’s activities aim to increase philanthropic giving to the University through gaining support from individual donors (primarily alumni, staff, students and members of the wider University community). The team focuses on donations of varying size and frequency, with the aim of encouraging individuals to make modest but regular gifts which can have a substantial impact on University initiatives. In this role, success is measured in income, donor numbers and in terms of participation, acquisition and renewal rates.
The Advancement Office’s regular giving program currently solicits donations through direct mail, electronic direct mail and associated social media, a telethon program, staff giving, and an on-campus volunteer-run student giving program. These programs are undertaken on behalf of the University, in support of University faculties and divisions.
As Regular Giving Officer and a member of the Alumni and Stakeholder Relations Team, under the guidance of the Head of Regular Giving and Direct Marketing, you will contribute to the delivery of these valuable regular giving activities through the provision of administrative assistance to the team and their projects, and through individual responsibility for the planning and delivery of some student and staff-based programs. This includes opportunities to recruit, train and oversee student volunteers, and to coordinate student and staff-facing events. This exciting full-time position is available on a continuing basis.
