**Company Description**
**_
Every institution values excellence. What matters most is why._**
Griffith was created to be a different type of university. You’ll find we’re about leading research, academic excellence, and the transformative power of education. But what sets us apart is why those things matter and how you’ll achieve them.

**Why?** Griffith brings together exceptional minds like yours from across the globe and from all walks of life. Here, we do incredible work, questioning and challenging, always in the pursuit of excellence. We will challenge you to be curious, creative and courageous as we strive to achieve our vision to transform lives and add to human knowledge and understanding in a way that creates a future that benefits all.

The Advancement portfolio exists to actively seek philanthropic support from individuals, charitable trusts and foundations, and corporations, as well as to maintain relationships with alumni and support the overall goals of the University. Within Advancement the fundraising team engages with individuals, organisations and community groups who want to support Griffith's educational programs and research. Griffith University’s success depends not only on the future generosity of governments and industry partners, but on philanthropic support.
**Job Description** Make a Tangible Impact on the Future of Health and Medicine**

Are you an experienced fundraising professional with a passion for advancing groundbreaking biomedical research and transforming global health outcomes?

This role is pivotal in growing philanthropic funds secured for our Brighter Futures Campaign for the Health Group and Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics (IBG). The Institute for Biomedicine and Glycomics and the Heath Group are home to projects supported already by many of Griffith’s most generous donors. This includes the quest for vaccines for a range of infectious diseases, progress towards human clinical trials to repair spinal cord injury, and extensive work on understanding chronic fatigue. 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.
