Strategic Fundraising Manager

5 days ago


Keswick, Cumbria, United Kingdom CHARITY PEOPLE Full time
About the Role

This is a new, pivotal position in the organisation, working closely with the Executive Director and Senior Management colleagues, to develop, embed, and drive forward a strategic approach to fundraising.

You'll lead a significant step-change in the charity's approach to philanthropy - articulating a compelling Case for Support, and using the Theatre's 25th Anniversary Year to implement a new fundraising strategy.

With broad scope and potential to increase impact across all fundraising income streams (Individuals, Corporates, and Trusts & Foundations), this could be a fantastic opportunity to widen your portfolio and take on strategic responsibility.

This is the organisation's first leadership-level fundraising role. You'll be supported by a passionate team of colleagues from across the organisation, plus dedicated volunteers. There's real opportunity to grow income... and potentially a fundraising team in the future.

About You

We certainly don't expect you to come with working experience across all income streams - actually, this could be a perfect chance to add more strings to your bow.

We'd love to see you showcasing the following skills, experiences and behaviours:

  1. Proven track-record of engaging with high-value supporters (specifically philanthropists or corporate partners).
  2. Agility to work both strategically and operationally.
  3. Capability to craft a compelling case for support.
  4. Persuasive communication skills, both verbally and in writing.
  5. Ability to work on multiple priorities with good instinct for where time is best spent.
  6. Solutions-focused team player who brings out the best in people around them.

It's not essential to have worked in the arts before, but you do need to feel passionately about the power of art and theatre to change lives. You'll need to be able to connect the dots between theatre, community and a sense of place, and confidently articulate the value and impact the Theatre has on local people's lives.
