Senior Development Manager, Foundation & Corporate Philanthropy

UNSW is at the heart of the sophisticated global knowledge system that is shaping our future. They continue to strive to create and share critical knowledge for the benefit of society, with lasting impact. The strategies produced and implemented across the university are strengthening their ability to achieve these goals, now and into the future.

Under UNSW’s current fundraising strategy 2015-2026, the Development team has been focusing on building relationships with significant major and principal gift donors while strengthening the culture for philanthropy on campus. In support of this strategy and ambitious plans they are seeking a new Senior Development Manager who will report directly to the Director of Development and play a leading role in driving UNSW’s efforts to grow and diversify its philanthropic revenue streams from institutional donors, including trusts, foundations and corporations.

To achieve success in this role you will be a lateral thinker who brings a demonstrated track record of implementing strategies to achieve significant philanthropic revenue targets, combined with the ability to establish and maintain long-term relationships with a portfolio of grant funders and corporate foundation partners. You will ideally have developed this in a higher education philanthropic fundraising role, however we are also open to considering those who are looking for a change and are willing to learn.

You will be someone who enjoys leading your team while also developing strong and productive relationships across your organisation, therefore gaining the trust and respect of your internal stakeholders.
