Development Manager, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Development Manager, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) is seeking to appoint a Development Manager to support the fundraising ambitions of its successful Development Team.

Behind this fundraising success lies a compelling case for support and an organisation that is uncompromising in its commitment to high artistic values and its belief that music has the power to transform lives.

This newly created role is a rare opportunity to join BSO during an exciting phase of its development which sees the Orchestra receive critical acclaim for both its artistic endeavours and pioneering work beyond the concert hall.

BSO is looking for a talented fundraiser to join its high-performing fundraising team. The successful candidate will be someone who is as comfortable managing and developing a portfolio of high value corporate partnerships as they are in writing significant applications to charitable trusts and foundations or running an elegant event.

The ability to compose and communicate an inspiring fundraising narrative reflecting the strategic priorities, needs and motivations of both BSO and its supporters is vital as is the ability to operate with the commercial astuteness and pragmatism necessary when working in a fast-paced environment.

This management role, whilst based in Poole, will involve regular evening and some weekend work with travel across the South West building relationships with Trustees, Individuals and corporate decision makers. A full driving licence is therefore essential.

An application form is available on the BSO website at www.bsolive.com/careers which should be sent with your CV and a covering letter to Janet Male at jmale@bsorchestra.co.uk.
