Art Fund is the UK's national fundraising charity for art. We give grants to help museums, galleries, historic houses and public arts organisations to acquire objects for their collections, to share them with as many people as possible, and to support research and training for museum professionals. We are supported by our growing membership of 135,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many individuals, trusts and foundations.

The role:

As Head of Programme Development, you'll take a senior role in the strategic planning and operational delivery of Art Fund's grant-making programme, taking a lead on certain areas of the business plan to ensure they deliver against and inform the ongoing development of Art Fund's strategic vision.

A member of the Programmes team, you will work with colleagues across Art Fund and the wider sector to ensure our grant-making is effective and valuable and supports our strategic plan. This is a unique opportunity to join Art Fund at a key moment in our 5-year strategy. You'll help us identify where Art Fund can make a real difference in our priority areas and build our reputation in these areas: championing diverse and inclusive museum collections, workforce, and audiences; reaching a new generation of museum-goers through digital and community experiences, as well as in the museum itself, and developing a sustainable sector. The Head of Programme Development will share the energy and commitment that Art Fund staff bring to their work, as well as a belief in the importance of arts and culture.
