Senior Major Gifts Manager

We are looking for a Senior Major Gifts Manager to join the National Theatre's Development team.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a crucial role in the theatre’s new Stories Start Here campaign, building on our successful major donor fundraising programme. As the key relationship manager for a portfolio of some of our closest and most passionate supporters, the Senior Major Gifts Manager makes a vital contribution to this growing income stream. By identifying, cultivating, soliciting and securing major gifts of £25,000 and more, and working collaboratively across the department with other fundraising teams, there is lots of scope to build on your existing fundraising experience to develop an engaged and generous portfolio of major donors.

• Evidence of ability to write persuasively, and experience of creating compelling fundraising materials
• Experience in a fundraising capacity, with a successful track record of meeting targets and personally soliciting and securing 5‑figure+ philanthropic gifts
• Evidence of relationship management to proactively develop a portfolio of prospects employing creative strategies to engage them
• Demonstrable prospect research skills
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the necessary listening, facilitation, negotiation, and diplomatic skills to represent the NT, and to achieve immediate credibility and influence with high‑net‑worth individuals, and internal and external stakeholders

If that sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you!
