About Us
Fundraising and Supporter Development (F&SD) provides a fundraising and alumni engagement function in support of King's College London.

We are a committed team that brings together fundraisers working across different channels, alongside colleagues who promote King's College London's engagement with its worldwide alumni community.
We have an impressive, well-established track record of success in securing support that allows the university and partners to deliver on their missions. This includes our global, award-winning World Questions: King's Answers campaign, which set the standard in the sector and enabled us to raise substantial funds to help tackle some of the world's biggest challenges.
About the role
We are looking for an exceptional Business Manager to support our newly established King's Maudsley Partnership (KMP) fundraising team to secure significant long-term philanthropic investment for children and adolescent mental health research and treatment.
The Business Manager will provide high-level support to ensure the success of the newly established KMP and this fundraising team that sits within the partnership. The postholder will support on facilitating fundraising between three complex organisations at the beginning of the journey for their joint programme of fundraising. They will help, and sometimes lead on, the setting up and navigation of internal systems and processes. They will be able to identify and solve problems, assist with decision-making and sign off processes, and develop strong internal relationships to support and provide fundraisers with the best environment to deliver high performance fundraising.
