Individual Giving Manager - Annual Fund

Salary £28,785 - £32,878 pro rata  

(Fixed term contract for 9 months)

UWC Atlantic is at the heart of a powerful global movement and at the vanguard of progressive education worldwide.  We are proud to be a part of the UWC family of 18 schools and colleges worldwide – and for our courage to champion the values, ideas and aspirations in which we all believe.  We are driven by the UWC mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.  It drives everything we do.

We continue to embrace the spirit of those pioneers who not only created the College in Wales in 1962 and launched the UWC movement in 1967 but who also co-created the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme, in collaboration with the International School of Geneva (Ecolint) and UN International School in New York (UNIS).

Our multicultural student body, from over 90 countries every year, comprises young people from vastly differing political, religious, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.  They are selected to attend UWC Atlantic based on their demonstrated promise and potential, to make a difference in the fields of sustainability, social justice and peace.  These inspirational young people are the next generation of change makers, empowered to go on to careers and lives that create impact locally, nationally and globally.

The Philanthropy, Partnerships and Engagement (PPE) team, based in London and in Wales is the essential link with these graduates, our alumni community, across cultures and continents, professional spheres and life experiences, to ensure that we stay connected to each other and the UWC values.  The PPE team aims to develop a more inspired, enthused and engaged alumni community and to develop and celebrate a culture of philanthropy – a commitment to give time, treasure and talent to support our future ambitions.

This role will be for a 9-month period to cover maternity leave. The successful candidate will be instrumental in developing and leading the College’s Atlantic Fund and Class Philanthropy and Engagement programme, with particular emphasis on annual targets set in terms of alumni participation rate and funds raised, increasing the number of regular donors including alumni, parents, past parents and friends of the College.  You will be responsible for developing and implementing new initiatives for donor acquisition contact updates, renewals and upgrades of pledges, maximising the opportunities of data segmentation and profiling of alumni to extend data analysis and increase funding activity.

You will have a proven and demonstrable track record in communication, fundraising, sales or business development along with experience of appointing and working with fundraising volunteers, encouraging and leading them in fundraising activities. 

Your excellent communication and interpersonal skills, engaging personality, influencing, persuasion and negotiation skills will enable you to build a strong rapport with a broad spectrum of people including the wider College community, current students, alumni, donors, benefactors and high profile visitors.  

Confidence and ability to write, edit and verbally present written reports, appeals for funding and presentations will also be essential.
