Role
As our Donor Relations and Stewardship Officer, you will be instrumental in stewarding a diverse portfolio of donors, including trusts, foundations, individuals, and corporations. You will manage the full stewardship cycle, from initial contact and gift acknowledgement to impact reporting and ongoing communication.
You will be responsible for nurturing donor relationships, ensuring they feel valued and connected to the QMU community by building robust systems and processes to manage engagement and communications. Your work will include creating engaging content on the impact of our donors and building strong relationships with our student recipients. This is a role where you can be creative, building new and lasting ways to share the impact of our donors’ support.
In this role you will create and deliver bespoke stewardship plans for donors and spend part of your time liaising with academics regarding fundraising projects and donors. You will also spend part of your time meeting/engaging with donors, leading to spending significant time researching and creating impact reports, donor communications and individual gift proposals. Alongside this, you will steward the delivery of some key philanthropic funds and projects, ensuring that the University delivers the impact expected by our donors.
The successful candidate will have a minimum of 2 years’ experience in donor relations, stewardship, development or a related field (for example in marketing and communications). You will possess the ability to produce inspiring copy and inspire donors in face-to-face engagement. You will have a passion for bringing creativity and innovation to your work, have excellent people skills, be highly efficient and organised, and be comfortable managing a range of tasks in parallel.
This is an exciting opportunity to make a real contribution to a forward looking university that has achieved a strong positive trajectory in philanthropic income and in alumni relations in the last few years.
