Description

Are you a senior fundraising professional who understands the power of creativity and art to bring people and communities together?

This is a unique opportunity to become the next Executive Director of a Merseyside theatre. Working in a prominent national cultural organisation to inspire creative risk, provide space and opportunity to celebrate Liverpool's communities, and in doing so achieve a fairer and more accessible world.

What's extra special about this job?

With opportunity to work directly with the CEO and Board, you'll shape and influence strategy around people, culture and income generation. This role offers a rare opportunity for a senior fundraiser or fundraising leader to step into their first executive level position, operating at decision-making level in a stimulating and creative environment.

Salary: £38k

Location: Hybrid working between the theatre (2 days minimum) and home

Permanent role; open to flexible proposals such as compressed hours, reduced hours, job share

About the role:

There's huge variety with opportunity to shape, influence and lead across the organisation, and we think that makes it incredibly exciting.

Firstly, you'll take the lead on income generation strategy and delivery, maximising funding opportunities by:

Building and delivering a sustainable pipeline of trusts and grants, managing relationships with key funders and external funding consultant, and coaching a team member responsible for sponsorship and donations.

With overarching responsibility for people strategy, you'll promote an organisational culture that values inclusivity, autonomy, recognition and self-belief.

Policy, procedure, governance, risk management and financial reporting are all included in the role profile, most of which is done via management of external relationships with outsourced finance, legal and HR support.

We are absolutely not expecting you to arrive as an expert in everything, but we'd love you to be open to learning and growing with the role, and eager to gain new skills and experience.

About you:

We are open to different candidate backgrounds; whether that's the Arts, wider charity sector or business development.

Key essentials and 'wish list' include:

• Personal experience generating income from trusts and grants (at least five figures)
• Broad and nuanced understanding of the wider fundraising landscape
• Thoughtful, measured and assured leadership and communication style
• Experienced, skilled and passionate about leading, coaching and developing people
• Passion and appreciation of the transformational power of creativity and art for social good

If you are excited by this unique role as we are, please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People for more information on how to apply.

Deadline: 9am on Wednesday 27th July
