This is an opportunity to join one of Cambridge’s most beautiful and prestigious
centres of learning, known for its academic achievement and friendly community. 
Queens’ is an ambitious college, anxious to enhance its contribution to higher education
both in Britain and the wider world. The Development Director will play a crucial
role in inspiring donors with the practical expressions of that vision and delivering
substantial income to further [develop teaching and research excellence](https://blog.curriculosolutions.com/what-our-career-development-programme-teaches-students-).

 

 

 

The Development Director will manage the College’s Alumni & Development Office, 
and work very closely with the President to lead and inspire the Queens’ family 
of alumni and friends. S/he will direct all development activity, ensuring success
in the major gift, legacy giving and annual fund programmes. S/he will take direct
responsibility for fundraising from major donors – the job will involve ‘doing’ 
as well as ‘managing’.

 

 

 

The post will be full time and will command a competitive salary and an attractive
benefits package. A Fellowship may be available for an exceptionally qualified candidate.
Further particulars may be obtained from the President, Queens’ College, Cambridge,
