Are you a data-literate, detail-focused individual who can play a vital role in helping deliver transformational fundraising efforts for the University of London?

Who We Are

The University of London is a leading UK provider of distance and digital education internationally, offering programmes to 45,000 students in 190 countries around the world. Although proudly rooted in London, our community and impact are global. We are a national leader in the humanities, and we promote their value to society and the economy through knowledge creation and exchange.


We are also a federation of 17 world class higher education institutions, with collaboration at the heart of our ethos. The University of London federation is a collective community of more than 240,000 learners and 50,000 staff, delivering world-leading research across all disciplines. Our passion for increasing access to education and mobilising the collective power and expertise of the federation is central to our ability to transform lives around the world and address the global challenges of the future.


The University is now planning a new campaign focused on the transformation of our iconic Senate House Library. Based in Senate House, it is one of the UK's largest libraries for arts, humanities, and social sciences--home to 2 million books, 50 special collections, and 1800 archival collections--and it serves students from across the federation Since the inception of the Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement team in 2015, we have built our engagement activities and systems and now have an established community of more than 200,000 contactable alumni, donors and prospects - the majority of whom are outside of the UK.

About The Role

We now seek a Philanthropy Data Officer to play a vital role in helping deliver our transformational fundraising efforts. As a confident CRM user, you'll be a key part of our Philanthropy Operations team, providing data support for a wide range of functions across the Office, including events, communications, fundraising, donor insights and reporting. Alongside supporting day-to-day requests, you'll also take on project work, helping to refine and develop the systems and processes that underpin our success. This is a chance to use your technical and analytical skills in a role where your work directly empowers colleagues, enhances donor engagement and informs decisions at the heart of a university-wide campaign.

Who Are We Looking For

We're looking for someone who is data-literate, detail-focused and motivated by making systems work better. You'll bring proven experience of working with CRM systems (ideally Blackbaud products such as Raiser's Edge or Enterprise BBCRM) and the ability to analyse and present data clearly to a variety of audiences. You'll thrive in a collaborative team environment, be comfortable engaging with colleagues at all levels, and bring the curiosity and problem-solving skills needed to shape data into meaningful insights. If you're motivated by contributing to ambitious fundraising goals and want to see your work have a direct impact on education and research, this could be the ideal next step in your career.


It is a great time to join our team and be part of a successful campaign while enhancing your career with a globally recognised institution.
