Salary We are looking for an entrepreneurial and imaginative new Development Director to join us one year into a successful growth-oriented business plan, while leading on fundraising for an exciting GBP4m capital redevelopment project centred around access, community and sustainability. This project may require additional fundraising support staff to be recruited. The Development Director will lead on fundraising for the OT, working with the Joint CEOs to develop and deliver the fundraising strategy and achieve an annual fundraising target of circa GBP500k. This will primarily involve establishing and nurturing relationships with patrons and major donors, developing income from Trusts and Foundations, overseeing and developing the existing membership scheme and working with a newly established Development Board.
As an independent theatre operating without National Portfolio funding from Arts Council England, fundraising is vital to our success and the Development Department will be supported at all levels, including a highly engaged Board of Trustees and from a donor base of almost a thousand Members and Patrons.
The Development Director sits on the Senior Leadership Team, which meets regularly and contributes towards shaping the company strategy, leading department reviews, setting goals & promoting teamwork, managing risk and solving complex challenges
