At Cambridge, we believe that philanthropy plays a critical role in helping us to achieve our mission of advancing knowledge and transforming lives. We are constantly seeking talented individuals who are passionate about fundraising and eager to make a difference in the world.

At Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations, we are more than fundraisers: we are catalysts for global change and partners in progress.

And philanthropy is at the heart of everything we do. Through philanthropy and alumni engagement, we empower Cambridge to lead transformative breakthroughs in research, education, and innovation that address the world’s most urgent challenges, from climate change and health inequality to technological advancement and social justice.

Our office is responsible for securing major philanthropic support for the University, working closely with colleagues across Cambridge in America, Collegiate Cambridge, and the wider University. Together, we build strong, meaningful relationships with alumni, donors, and supporters around the world, helping them connect with the causes they care most about and the change they want to see.

We are one of the most successful fundraising institutions in Europe and among the top 50 globally. Joining our Development and Alumni team means becoming part of an elite advancement operation. We are ambitious, evolving, and committed to excellence, and dedicated to investing in our culture, our people, and how we tell our story.

Cambridge University Development and Alumni Relations offers a mission and an environment where every individual contributes to something bigger than themselves. Although the name and reputation of Cambridge are known worldwide, you will find it a down-to-earth and welcoming place to work where your experience will be recognised and valued.
