Development, Alumni Relations & Events Coordinator

Faculty of Law, St Cross Building, OX1 3UL

Grade 5: £28,759- £33,966 per annum with a possible extension to £37,099.

The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.

The role of the University’s Development Office is to help secure philanthropic support for the University. The Development Office works in partnership with academic and development colleagues throughout the collegiate University to build enduring relationships with external constituencies – including alumni, non-alumni, corporate and foundation donors – and to increase financial support for agreed academic priorities.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an organised individual to contribute to a growing Development and Alumni Relations function, within the Faculty of Law. This post reports into the University’s Development Office, but is embedded within the Faculty of Law.

The post holder will have the opportunity to work across a range of projects and objectives in the Law Faculty to support the delivery of an ambitious fundraising strategy, supported by engaging events and communications for donors, law alumni and influential stakeholders.

You will provide administrative, database (DARS) and logistical support; alongside supporting, managing and executing donor and alumni events and communications.

You will have excellent organisational and communication skills, with proven ability to organise events, to manage and prioritise a range of different types of administrative tasks simultaneously. Experience using fundraising databases, such as Blackbaud CRM, Raiser’s Edge or DARS is desirable.
