Introduction
Senate House For eight centuries, the University of Cambridge has welcomed brilliant minds, set them free to collaborate and create, sending world-changing ideas in return. Cambridge scholars identified the building blocks of life, the origins of the universe and the origins of man. With a significant tradition in the sciences, medicine and mathematics, the research that Cambridge produces affects us all. The University is home to the discovery of world changing medical breakthroughs such as humanized monoclonal antibodies, in-vitro fertilization, the insulin molecule, and of course DNA itself. At Cambridge, philanthropy has driven impact for more than 800 years and this is the basis of the University’s £2 billion campaign which launched its public phase in October last year and is the biggest and most ambitious Europe has ever seen. The campaign will enable Cambridge to address some of the biggest issues facing society today, and make a major impact on the world in the 21st century. It will ensure the University’s research and teaching stays at the cutting edge by providing world-class infrastructure and attracting great minds to study and work across the University and Colleges, meaning the University can continue to thrive and serve society at large. Cambridge University’s Development and Alumni Relations (CUDAR) office is now looking for the Senior Associate Director for the School of Clinical Medicine to join their successful and rapidly expanding fundraising team.
The Senior Associate Director – School of Clinical Medicine will report to Gary Keegan, Director of Development, Cambridge University Health Partners. Cambridge University Health Partners is one of only five centres in England designated as an Academic Health Science Centres (AHSC) in recognition of its internationally competitive excellence in health care, health-related research and the education of medical and other health care professionals. The CUHP fundraising team is responsible for securing philanthropic income for priority areas. Becoming part of this exceptionally high-performing team now will not only enable you to help shape the future of medical fundraising at the University but also to play a key role in driving forward some of the most advanced and pioneering scientific research taking place in the world today. The postholder will be responsible for supporting the School and its Departments in their development of prioritised needs, devising the School fundraising plans and strategies and then working to secure the philanthropic support to meet those needs. This will involve managing complex relationships and priorities across a matrix of departments, requiring diplomacy and strategic thinking in order to ensure effective delivery of fundraising targets in the service of the strategic research initiatives of the University. You will be a senior fundraising professional with proven experience in generating six and seven figure gifts, coupled with experience of working with academic leaders or senior stakeholders from the charitable sector. This role is crucial to the funding of research that is helping to solve global society’s greatest challenges; this is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to play a leading role in European higher education’s most momentous campaign.

The School of Clinical Medicine The School of Clinical Medicine includes Clinical Biochemistry, Clinical Neurosciences, Haematology, Medical Genetics, Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Oncology, Paediatrics, Psychiatry, Public Health and Primary Care, Radiology, and Surgery. It also includes a number of internationally recognised research institutes, including the Institute of Metabolic Sciences – Metabolic Research Laboratories, the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR), the Institute of Public Health, and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute. The University’s School of Clinical Medicine was ranked top overall in the UK in the Governments 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). 85 per cent of Cambridge’s laboratory-based clinical research was ranked as either intentionally excellent or world-leading, more than any other UK institution. Closely connected to the Clinical School, one of the University’s flagship projects is the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the largest gathering of clinical, pharmaceutical and biomedical research specialists in Europe. It is a tailor-made environment for advancing fundamental science and innovation into clinical applications by combining world class biomedical research, healthcare technology, patient care and clinical education on a single site. The Campus is a major partnership spanning the University of Cambridge, National Health Service, Medical Research Council, not-for-profit organisations, multi-nationals, and small to medium-sized technology and pharmaceutical companies. The co-location of the University’s major research, clinical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology partners with its own experts offers an exceptional and unique environment for discovery, innovation and translation across the medical spectrum. Throughout Cambridge’s Biomedical Campus and the wider University, doctors and scientists collaborate across disciplines and specialties, and it is this coexistence of experience and expertise that fosters translational research – turning basic science into new drugs and new therapies. The site includes Addenbrooke’s Hospital, one of the UK’s finest university teaching hospitals, which enables Cambridge scientists to trial new therapies on a wide range of socio-economic patient groups.
The Biomedical Campus has been expanding over the past 10 years and is currently home to a 7,000-strong community of healthcare professionals and research scientists. At any one time, over 1,000 clinical trials are being conducted. Medical innovations in development or recently pioneered at Cambridge include: the development of Alemtuzumab (a drug for the treatment of multiple sclerosis), the development of an artificial pancreas for patients suffering from Type 1 diabetes, the development of a potential cure for peanut allergy, the reinvention of our approach to breast cancer through genomic analysis, the use of nasal stem cells in order to repair spinal injuries, and many, many more. Significant momentum is building with plans in place for the relocation of several key translational partners to the Campus: the University’s Wellcome TrustMedical Research Council Stem Cell Institute; Astra Zeneca’s headquarters including 2,000 staff; and Papworth Hospital (including an adjoining Heart and Lung Research Institute) – one of the world’s greatest cardiothoracic hospitals. Expanding rapidly in size and renown, the vision is to transform this centre of excellence into one of the largest, and best, biomedical centres in the world by 2020.

The Development and Alumni Relations Office
Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations Office Cambridge University Development & Alumni Relations (CUDAR) is the fundraising and alumni and supporter engagement arm of the University. It has responsibility for raising major philanthropic gifts from alumni and non-alumni sources; for encouraging lifelong relationships and building links between the University, its alumni and supporters; for ensuring that the worldwide community of over 200,000 alumni are wellinformed about the development of the University and equipped to be effective ambassadors and advocates; and for communicating persuasively with all audiences to satisfy these objectives. Cambridge in America (CAm) is the fundraising and alumni & supporter engagement arm for Collegiate Cambridge in the most developed philanthropic market globally, the United States. (http://www.cantab.org/)
In 2005, to mark its 800th anniversary, Collegiate Cambridge launched the public phase of Europe’s first £1 billion campaign. It reached its target by 2010, two years ahead of schedule. Building on this success, the University launched its £2 billion institution-wide campaign in October last year. In this context, the University is directing significant investment toward the expansion of the current alumni relations, communication and fundraising capability in CUDAR. CUDAR and CAm work collaboratively with each other and their advancement counterparts in the 31 Colleges to maximise collective effectiveness with regard to key constituencies and programmes. This is particularly true in relation to coordinating activity and objectives relating to those current and prospective donors with the greatest capacity to give to the priorities of the Collegiate institution.

The Role The Senior Associate Director – School of Clinical Medicine is a senior fundraiser within the Cambridge University Health Partners fundraising team responsible for the design, support and delivery of the major gifts programme of one of the University ‘s six schools, the School of Clinical Medicine. The role holder is responsible for supporting the School and its Departments in their development of prioritised needs and then working to secure the philanthropic support to meet those needs. This will involve matching these needs to the prospect list, and articulating the needs to make them philanthropically attractive, soliciting and securing gifts. To achieve this, the role holder will work within the framework of the CUDAR Schools Based Model of engagement. The Senior Associate Director will work closely with the Head of School in the pursuit of the School’s strategic funding opportunities. This will involve managing complex relationships and priorities across a matrix of departments demanding diplomacy and strategic thinking in order to ensure effective delivery of fundraising targets in the service of the strategic priorities of the University. Regular, credible interaction with senior academics and University officers will be an important element of this role. The role holder is expected to raise significant financial support for the School and its agreed fundraising priorities, such as posts, student support and capital projects. A key expectation is that the role holder will generate six- and seven-figure gifts from individuals (alumni and non-alumni); trusts and foundations, and corporations in the UK and internationally. Reporting to the Director of Development, Cambridge University Health Partners, the post holder is a key senior member of the Cambridge University Health Partners (CUHP) fundraising team. The role holder will also be an important member of the School Office team, supporting the Head of School, alongside the School Secretary, the School Finance Manager, and others. The role holder will also need to support the Heads of Departments within the School, working with the senior administrative staff in each case.
The role holder will work collaboratively with the CUDAR Major Gifts, Schools-Based team, the UniversityWide Major Gifts team, the Principal Gifts team, Prospect Information & Analysis team, and Trusts and Foundations both to advance the School’s fundraising strategy and to ensure the effective work of her/his direct reports. S/he will formalise current KPIs including numbers of visits and solicitations and the effective management of prospective donors through the stages of prospect management. S/he will need to conduct regular prospect pool strategy meetings with the fundraising team and Head of MGSB fundraising. S/he will need to work collaboratively and transparently with development colleagues from Cambridge in America and Cambridge’s 31 colleges. The role holder will manage a prospect pool of circa 100 individuals and/or organisations, and therefore will work directly with some of the University’s most capable prospective and actual donors and volunteers, and will have fundraising targets that will be reviewed regularly with the Director of Development, CUHP. This role will be important to the execution of the next major capital campaign and will need to work collaboratively with all members of CUDAR, and the wider Collegiate Cambridge development community, to develop and deliver the plan for CUDAR ambitious major gift fundraising targets. The role requires working outside of office hours, UK and occasional overseas travel and budget responsibility.

The Structure of the University of Cambridge
Punting past King’s The University of Cambridge is a complex organisation. To understand how it operates, it helps to keep its historical origins in mind. Whilst the University can be dated from 1209, the first Colleges, each autonomous and independent with its own governing Body and Charter, were established later, from 1284, principally to teach and house students at all levels. The University has no charter, but is governed under Acts of Parliament starting with Elizabeth I and most recently the 1923 Oxford and Cambridge Act. The University works with a relatively small central administration. The procedural rules of the University are embodied in Statutes and Ordinances, which prescribe in some detail the formal administrative practices. These rules are made in most cases by the University itself, although the Statutes can only be changed with the approval of the Privy Council. Each College also has its own statutes and regulations.
The University has sole responsibility for examinations and for conferring degrees. The Colleges, on the other hand, have responsibility for selecting, admitting and accommodating all undergraduate students, and a student cannot enter the University unless he or she also becomes a member of a College. However, the University lays down the admission qualifications for postgraduate students and also has certain controls over the statutes of the individual Colleges. During the 20th century, the role of the University hugely expanded through the provision of facilities, such as teaching and research laboratories. The University employs Professors, Readers, Senior Lecturers, Lecturers and other teaching and administrative staff who provide lectures, seminars and practical classes. The Colleges supplement the University’s teaching with supervisions and other smallgroup teaching, given by Fellows or others appointed by the College, and each College also provides library and other learning resources for its own members. The Colleges are separate corporations which exist in symbiosis with the University, and manage their own physical infrastructure.

Schools, Faculties, Departments
The Old Schools from GSM tower Colleges
Faculties and Departments
Students live, eat and socialise in one of the University’s 31 autonomous Colleges. Undergraduates receive College supervisions – small group teaching sessions – regarded as one of the best teaching models in the world.
Within the overall jurisdiction of the six Schools described above, teaching and research in Cambridge is organised primarily by the various Faculties and Departments.
Each College has its own internal procedures. They select their own students, subject to University regulations, and most admit both undergraduate and postgraduate students. College representatives sit on the University Council and Finance Committee.
The Faculties have different organisational substructures which partly reflect their history and partly their operational needs. The Councils of the Schools play an important role in ensuring that the natural academic links between different Departments are maintained and developed.
Schools
Unified Administrative Service (UAS)
The teaching and research activities of Cambridge are conducted through six major groupings of cognate institutions – Schools – which consist of Faculties and Departments.
The Registrary is the principal administrative officer of the University and the head of the UAS. The UAS consists of a number of support services departments, for example Human Resources, Finance, Management Information Services and Estates Management. The latter is a multi-disciplinary organisation responsible for the development, management and maintenance of the University estate, along with the provision of a variety of related services.
The Schools are: Arts and Humanities; Biological Sciences; Clinical Medicine; Humanities and Social Sciences; Physical Sciences; Technology. Each School has a Council. The Head of the School chairs this, and is the principal academic officer of the School responsible for its overall running, the use of funds allocated by the Council of the School, and the implementation of the academic and financial plans prepared by the University Council.
