About Us
Fundraising and Supporter Development (F&SD) provides a fundraising and alumni engagement function in support of King’s College London. We are proud to work with colleagues across the university and its health partners to help them serve society through world-leading education, research and healthcare.

About the role
The Donor Relations Manager role is a great opportunity for an ambitious individual with a creative, motivated and detailed work ethic to join our fundraising environment and take the lead on the project management and creation of exceptional stewardship.
At King’s, we produce over 120 annual impact reports for our donor community, showcasing how funds have been spent and ensuring projects are on track. Topics range from cutting-edge research to scholarship support, and all are business critical to a successful donor journey, as well as a vehicle to tell powerful and inspiring stories.
The post-holder will lead in ensuring the timelines and delivery of these are project managed in collaboration with the Donor Relations Officers and fundraisers across the Arts & Sciences, Health and International Teams – encompassing a breadth of King’s fundraising priorities - with the opportunity to lead on creative ideas.
They will also support with the creation of the King’s Annual Impact Report, a physical and online publication showcasing the powerful stories of King’s students and research. The 2023 Annual Impact Report can be viewed here. The post-holder will bring an eye for detail and narrative, signing off bespoke reports for gifts in partnership with fundraising colleagues.
The post holder will have ownership of a number of stewardship plans for major donors and principal gift donors (who give over £3 million to the university), to steward through impact reporting, donor naming and recognition and creative stewardship projects.
Reporting to the Senior Donor Relations Manager, and working closely with Major and Principal Gift Fundraisers, Gift Implementation (who ensure funds are allocated and spent correctly across the university), Proposition Development (who scope out fundraising projects and write compelling cases for support and proposals for funding), Fundraising & Alumni Communications and our Strategic Events teams, the post-holder will empower us to deliver an innovative and comprehensive donor relations and stewardship programme. Strong project management, writing and organisational skills are key, as well as someone with a keen eye for detail and strategic thinking.
The role is deadline driven, so individuals should have the ability to work well under pressure, prioritise, multi-task and take initiative.
The post-holder would be joining a team of storytellers, wordsmiths and creative minds who have the privilege of taking the world-leading research and real-world impact that King's College London’s bright students, academics, researchers and clinicians provide and turning them into powerful stories to share with our donors and wider community of supporters.
Our core goal is the delivery of bespoke, thoughtful, consistent and impactful content and experiences to our donor community to adhere to our reporting commitments, thank them for their support and ensure they see the value they bring to our organisation, and this post will play a vital part in delivering this.
This is a full-time post (35 Hours per week), and you will be offered an indefinite contract. F&SD has a hybrid working approach, with a minimum of 40% of time in the office. Typically, this equates to two days per week, but we’re very happy for colleagues to be in more frequently if they so wish.
