Purpose and Main Duties
Since Dr George Birkbeck created the London Mechanics’ Institution in 1823 the organisation that is now Birkbeck, University of London, has been the gateway for ambitious people to study in the evening. In so doing they change their own lives – and make an immediate impact on business, the economy and our entire society. As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2023, we plan to invest £150 million in widening our intake yet further and raising our standards yet higher. We anticipate that £50 million will come from philanthropists such as alumni, friends, corporate partners and charitable trusts and foundations as part of an ambitious fundraising campaign. This new post is an opportunity to join a successful and expanding Development and Alumni department at a particularly exciting time for Birkbeck. The Development Manager will have experience of building thoughtful and considered relationships with individuals which have led to gifts of £10,000+. They will be responsible for planning, leading and implementing a period of transformation in Birkbeck’s mid-level giving programme and our legacy income. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a step-change in our activity and our 200th anniversary campaign. Interviews will be held on Tuesday 12 & Wednesday 13 September 2017.
For further information on this opportunity contact Jessica Goulson, Head of Major Gifts at j.goulson@bbk.ac.uk.
