London, United Kingdom Barbican Full time

About Us
The Barbican is a unique, dynamic Arts and Learning Centre that presents artistic experiences with collaborators across music, theatre, dance, visual arts, and cinema that variously entertain, enable, enrich, and enlighten our many audiences. Our aim is to be a 21st century international Arts Centre that champions equity, diversity, and inclusion, and explores new approaches to arts, education, and enterprise.

Job Summary
We are looking for an experienced and proactive fundraiser to join the Barbican’s busy Development team. The Senior Philanthropy Manager holds key relationships with internal and external stakeholders, working across a broad portfolio of donors, prospective donors, Trustees, and senior Barbican staff. This role makes a significant contribution to the Barbican’s ambitious income targets, with a focus on five and six-figure gifts. A key part of the role is to shape the major donor strategy and deliver it successfully in collaboration with the Head of Philanthropy and Director of Development. It requires an entrepreneurial and proactive approach; expanding our networks of support and tapping into the Barbican’s rich and varied programme to create new opportunities for philanthropists to engage with our work.

The successful candidate will have extensive experience managing relationships with donors, soliciting gifts personally, and supporting senior stakeholders to be effective fundraisers. An ability to work strategically and deliver against targets is essential, alongside a natural and engaging approach to relationship building. Experience working in a cultural organisation will be beneficial, though not essential if a keen awareness for philanthropy in the arts can be demonstrated. In addition, the key essential attributes for this role include: a strong alignment with our organisational values (Inclusive, Connected, Daring, Sustainable and Joyful); a positive and solutions-driven approach; a strong ‘growth mind-set’; and the ability to work flexibly and take on challenges that are typical of a fast-moving organisation.
