The Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics and the Heath Group are home to projects supported already by many of Griffith’s most generous donors.

The impact on projects supported by this work will be significant and will have make a tangible difference to individuals and society.

The Head of Health and Biomedical Fundraising will be expected to manage a portfolio of very significant donors (all six and seven figure gifts) and will be measured by annual KPIs. As an ambitious and relationship focussed Senior Development Manager, you will support and provide the senior members of the Health Group Executive and IBG Director with strategic advice and leadership on the design and implementation of fundraising strategies that support key priorities aligned with the University's Strategic Plan.
