Reporting to the Development Research Manager, the Senior Development Research Officer will lead aspects of the University’s programme of identification and analysis of potential donors (high net worth individuals, corporations and charitable foundations) worldwide, and will work with fundraisers in managing relationships with such potential donors to support the University’s development strategy.

With a background in people-focused open-source research, you will be highly focused, with a keen attention to detail and first-class written and oral communication skills. Your well-honed ability to link inter-related or disparate data will be key, and you should have the drive to acquire, manage and pass on knowledge to support our fundraising and alumni relations professionals.

We’re interested in hearing from people with a sharp intellect, initiative, tenacity and analytical capability.

This is a great opportunity for the right person to join a hard-working and enjoyable team.
