UCL – London’s Global University 

UCL is a diverse community with the freedom to challenge and think differently. With over 12,500 staff and more than 41,500 students from 150 countries, we pursue academic excellence, break boundaries and make a positive impact on real world problems.  We champion innovation, creativity and cross-disciplinary working in our teaching and research and we are consistently ranked among the top 10 universities in the world. From the start, we opened higher education to students from a wide range of backgrounds and have changed the way we create and share knowledge. The courageous attitude and disruptive spirit of our founders is still alive today.

Our new President & Provost Dr Michael Spence joined UCL in 2021. As he builds UCL’s senior leadership team, we now seek to appoint three positions: Vice-Provost (Education & Student Experience), Vice-President (Strategy & Planning) and Vice-President (Advancement). This new team will deliver a unified strategy for UCL, through collaboration built on trust, openness, collaboration and commitment.

Building on the completion of It’s All Academic, the Campaign for UCL which raised £624 million and inspired over 263,000 volunteering hours, we have ambitions for significant future philanthropy and alumni engagement. The Vice-President (Advancement) will work on a long-term, strategically-focused, donor-centric sustainable advancement programme. The Vice-President (Advancement) will lead a high-performing development and alumni team and will contribute to the wider university leadership.

A strategic and collaborative approach is vital to UCL’s sector-leading advancement function, and the Vice-President (Advancement) will develop strong and productive relationships within UCL and externally with a worldwide community of donors, alumni, volunteers, supporters and partners. Successful candidates will bring experience of leading a significant global fundraising and engagement campaign. They should be highly strategic, entrepreneurial and creative, with a flair for engaging a broad range of stakeholders in conversations around our world-leading and highly impactful academic agenda.

UCL is an outstanding place to work. Our people are our greatest asset and in return we provide an empowering, values-based environment. We foster difference, mutual respect and collaboration, and actively encourage applications that will bring diverse experiences to the leadership of UCL.

Applications should consist of a full CV detailing academic and professional qualifications, full employment history, latest remuneration and relevant achievements and should be accompanied by a covering letter describing briefly their suitability for this role, why the appointment is of interest, and what they believe they can bring to the role. These can be uploaded here.
