Deputy Development Director
Candidate Information Pack

Cambridge done differently

At Fitz we transform lives
We are looking for an exceptional individual to join Fitzwilliam College (‘Fitz’) as the
College’s new Deputy Development Director.

We were founded to help the brightest minds reach their full potential regardless of
background or circumstances. For the past 156 years, that is exactly what we have done.
Fitzwilliam today is confident in what we are: a modern, open minded, friendly,
inclusive academic community. We embrace the best of the old but also the best of the
new. We are proud to be part of a world class university but also pleased to ‘do
Cambridge differently’.

Our College Plan demonstrates our ambition for our future. It sets the goal to evolve,
enrich and enhance the College. It is a clear statement of where we want to be by the
end of this decade.

FutureFitz, the College’s £40 million development campaign, underpins the College
Plan. The campaign has two clear priorities: First, funding to ensure the continued
academic success of the College, whether supporting academic colleagues in
undertaking world leading research and teaching, or ensuring we continue to attract
students from all backgrounds and provide them with the right academic and financial
support. Second, funding to improve the College facilities, providing a modern
physical and social environment where ideas can spark.

Over the last two years, we have established the momentum of FutureFitz and have
made an excellent start to fundraising. Richard Buttrey, our new Development
Director is keen to recruit a Deputy who, with him, will be at the heart of building our
success going forward.

Baroness Sally Morgan
Master

About Fitzwilliam

Fitzwilliam is an academic community with a strong identity and a
continuity of purpose from our creation 156 years ago.

The College is a special and welcoming community. We combine a passion for academic excellence and enquiry, with a commitment to widening access to
higher education. The College encompasses around 1,000 people including staff, Fellows, undergraduates and postgraduates. In common with all the 31
colleges of the University of Cambridge, Fitzwilliam is an independent, self-governing community.

The College enjoys a large seven-acre site within 10 minutes’ cycle ride of all the major faculties and departments. At the heart of our beautiful grounds is a
fine Regency house. Most of our award-winning contemporary architecture dates from the 1960s onwards including a state-of-the-art auditorium and the
Olisa Library.

Fitzwilliam began in 1869 as a non-collegiate institution (Fitzwilliam Hall) with the specific purpose of providing a Cambridge education to students who
were unable to afford membership of a college. The community became a full college in 1966 and moved to our current site at that time. Baroness Sally
Morgan, is the 9th Master of the College and is just over halfway through her ten-year term. As the former Chair of Ofsted and the current Chair of
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Baroness Morgan brings a deep experience of the educational sector.

Fitzwilliam’s core values have not changed since our creation:

Supporting excellence, creating a unique space for the sharing of ideas.
Community is our foundation, embracing and welcoming diversity in all aspects.
Concern with our purpose, setting an example to the broader community.

Philanthropy at Fitz

The £40 million FutureFitz campaign is at the heart of our ambition to
evolve, enrich and enhance the College.

Fitz has had a dedicated development office for over 15 years, working to strengthen and develop the relationship with its 12,500 alumni. The College’s first
development campaign, 2008-2019, raised £23.5 million.

The alumni community is diverse and, like the wider College, extremely supportive of development activities. There is also a collaborative working
relationship between the College and the central University Advancement team.

The continuity of purpose from the origins of Fitzwilliam Hall is seen from the funds raised for access and student support that has been at the heart of
the College’s philanthropic vision from the very beginning.

The College’s new College Plan reconfirms our values as an academic community, sets out the medium-term goals for our educational mission and
identifies the actions we need to take to achieve them.

The FutureFitz £40 million campaign activates the ambitions of the College Plan. The campaign target is broken down into two areas: £20 million for an
academic plan and £20 million to support a £50 million estate plan.

The academic plan invests in our teaching and research resources, replenishes the existing extensive financial support for students and provides additional
resources to support widening participation activities ‘getting in and getting on’. The estate plan ensures our buildings meet the College’s needs for the
next 50 years and deliver on our sustainability goals. A key element of the plan is the renovation and intensification of College’s Main Site.

The College has had an excellent start to the campaign, securing gifts at the six and seven figure level, and has a clearly defined, developed prospect
pipeline and good relationships with those capable of giving a substantial gift. The College is confident that the future fundraising potential will deliver
the FutureFitz goal.

The Opportunity
The Deputy Development Director will work closely with colleagues to
deliver the FutureFitz campaign.

The College has recently appointed Richard Buttrey (from Cambridge’s largest technology company), as the new Development Director, to take a fresh
approach to our fundraising work. We are now looking to build a high-performance team with a strong culture of innovation. We welcome applications
from exceptional individuals with or without a background in philanthropy. Either way, you will have demonstrable, transferable skills and a proven track
record of success.

Typically, Deputy Development Directors help manage Development Office teams, oversee reporting, stewardship and fundraising research and analysis.
This position will be accountable and responsible for such activities – but the successful candidate will also receive mentoring on how to interact
effectively with high net worth alumni and will share some of the direct engagement work of securing significant donations. Managing strong alumni
relationships more generally will be a core activity, including via line management of others.

The role will therefore particularly suit an ambitious individual, on track to become a Development Director in the future – or interested in progressing in
an adjacent career with enhanced transferable skills. In recognition of this, the College will consider electing the Deputy Development Director to become
a Bye Fellow if his/her performance merits such a status after two years in post, and renewing this annually thereafter.

You will be joining Fitzwilliam at an important time as we implement the FutureFitz campaign and will play a key part in taking forward a refreshed
fundraising strategy.

The College seeks to take a thought leadership position in the use of AI and other modern data processing techniques to help support the campaign.
Candidates with a particular interest and/or expertise in such technology are strongly encouraged to apply.

That said, our core emphasis will remain on community and the cultivation of instrumental human relationships. The Development Office at Fitz is
committed to diversity and helping people grow and develop; to that end we actively welcome diversity in personal and professional backgrounds and aim
to ensure the post-holder will have access to excellent opportunities to continue to progress in their professional tenure at the College.
