This is an exciting opportunity to lead Corporation and Foundation Giving for one of the world’s leading business schools at a pivotal moment.
London Business School (LBS) is in the final stretch of Forever Forward, our £200 million campaign. Last year, we delivered our strongest fundraising performance ever, building on a record year before it. We are now looking for an experienced fundraiser to unlock our full potential in corporation and foundation giving, working with alumni, companies and foundations that have deep, longstanding ties to LBS.
Reporting to the Executive Director, Giving, and working closely with the Associate Dean, Advancement, you will develop and deliver LBS's corporate and foundation fundraising strategy, leading a small team of specialist fundraisers, and hold your own portfolio of prospects and donors at major and principal gift levels.
This is a truly global role. We have long-standing relationships across India, the United States, the Middle East, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. We are looking for someone collaborative: this is a place where decisions are made together, and the best results come from fundraisers who work the same way.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you are excited by the prospect of building something, inside an institution with the relationships, the research and the ambition to back it, we would very much like to hear from you.
