At University of the Arts London (UAL), we believe the world needs creativity. We are united by a shared belief in creativity’s power to transform lives and a commitment to make the world a better place through collective endeavour. As we look to the future, corporate philanthropy and corporate partnerships play a vital role in delivering UAL’s mission and ambitious plans.

We are looking for an experienced, confident and relationship-focussed fundraiser to join us as Partnerships and Stewardship Manager, to help build deep and meaningful relationships with corporate donors and prospective corporate donors who have the potential to transform the future and impact of UAL.

The Partnerships and Stewardship Manager will raise philanthropic income from new business and existing corporate partnerships to further innovative research, education, capital and student support and other UAL core priorities.

The role is based in the Development & Alumni Relations team at UAL which is responsible for the cultivation, solicitation and stewardship of principal gifts, major gifts, trusts and foundations and corporate donors.

We are seeking individuals who are target-driven, with a passion for building meaningful philanthropic partnerships with companies. You'll be tenacious in your approach to income delivery and be able to articulate the case for support for investing in creative higher education. Your natural ability to connect, engage, and motivate others around a shared vision will be key, as is your talent for identifying donor opportunities and translating them into long-term impact.

You will be working to realise the potential of a pipeline of prospects to elevate the impact of corporate philanthropy at UAL. Alongside this you will be responsible for a supporter engagement programme to motivate existing corporate supporters and ultimately increase philanthropic income for the University. Your success in our team will be supported by a solid track record of developing partnerships and securing new gifts.

In return, you’ll join an ambitious, committed and collaborative team at a world-renowned institution. With a diverse student body, ambitious goals, and a strong global reach, there has never been a more exciting time to be part of UAL.

If we receive a high volume of applications, the closing day date might close early. We aim to communicate any changes to the closing date with at least 24 hours' notice.
