Senior Philanthropy Manager

Our client is an independent creative powerhouse for entertainment and education, existing to enable anyone to experience, make and benefit from theatre. They have a hugely successful development department, and Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with them to recruit a new Senior Philanthropy Manager.

The Senior Philanthropy Manager will support the Development team to successfully raise over £3.5million annually through fundraising, in addition to a concurrent £19.25m capital campaign. Within this context, the Senior Philanthropy Manager will convert individual revenue and capital donor prospects, stewarding high-level donors to give substantial gifts to the theatre. Reporting to the Head of Individual Giving and working with the Director of Development, you will lead on approaches with donors and ensure excellent communication with internal colleagues and external audiences at every stage.

The selected candidate will have five and six figure gift experience within a major donor setting and will enjoy working at the very highest level of relationship management. You will have experience of working with senior volunteers such as trustees and advocates and will have experience of all stages of the gift process including cultivation and stewardship.
