Philanthropy Co-ordinator

The English National Opera’s Development Department is growing, as we work towards our goal of increasing our revenue fundraising to £6m per year by 2027.

We’re looking for a Philanthropy Co-ordinator, with a salary of £25,000

As our Philanthropy Co-ordinator, you will be raising vital funds that will support:

  • Musician training and mentoring programmes, supporting the rising stars of opera
  • Learning and participation programmes that reach young people from all over the UK
  • Health and wellbeing programmes, part of our social prescribing work, that supports the UK’s recovery from CoVid
  • World-class opera productions on the stage of the London Coliseum and beyond

Forget everything you may know about opera, ENO is a unique company.  If you have no experience of opera or classical music, don’t worry – we’ll share our experience with you.

What we’re looking for is:

  • Someone ready to begin a career in arts fundraising, as this is an entry level role
  • Someone excited about the prospect of working at an innovative company, with accessibility at the heart of everything we do
  • Someone able to offer world class, exceptional customer service to ENO Supporters
  • Someone confident with technology and willing to learn about ticketing and CRM Systems

We offer a hybrid working environment, with one day per week at the theatre, and the other four days can be working from home or at the theatre, dependent on the performance event schedule.

We operate a ‘blind’ application process, so the shortlisting panel won’t see your name, gender or any education institutions you attended – just your work experience and personal statement, we try to minimise unconscious bias in our process.
