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.
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.

At London Business School, we support Smart Working - a hybrid approach designed to help you achieve a healthy work-life balance while delivering the best outcomes for your role and the needs of our customers. All roles require a minimum of two days on campus each week to foster a vibrant, collaborative community.
For this role specifically, you will be expected to be on campus 2 days per week.
We operate with 'core hours' - 10:00-15:00 - to maximise opportunities for connection and collaboration across teams during the working day. Outside of these hours, you may still be required for meetings or collaboration based on your role and customer needs. Additionally, we offer Protected Time - a flexible, one-hour slot, within the working week dedicated to your learning and development, wellbeing, or focused, quiet work

We are a globally reaching institution, committed to creating tangible and sustainable change in driving inclusion & belonging within our School, education and society at large. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone in our community feels they belong and thrive. This is a key school priority, and we want everyone who joins LBS to feel respected, welcomed, and heard.
