Patrons Manager

As a Patrons Manager, working closely with the Head of Collection Committees & Patrons and the Senior Patrons Manager, you will sustain and develop Tate’s Patrons scheme, focusing on stewarding existing Patrons and recruiting new supporters to maximise income. You will contribute to the planning and delivery of an engaging, inclusive and diverse Patrons programme that deepens engagement across the Patrons group at all levels, and encourage increased year-on-year support, whether through higher levels of Patronage or broader philanthropic involvement across Tate. The Individual Giving & Collection Development (IG & CD) team is responsible for fundraising from Tate’s International Council, Patrons and Collection Committees as well as for one-off fundraising projects centred on developing Tate’s collection. Within IG & CD, the Patrons team oversees Tate’s Patron schemes (Platinum, Gold, Silver and Young), championing Tate’s mission and ambitions while fostering meaningful and lasting relationships with this vital group of supporters. Through an engaging and carefully curated annual programme of events, the team ensures that Patrons enjoy a very close and meaningful connection to all areas of Tate’s work. Founded in 1982 as the Patrons of New Art, Tate Patrons remain at the very heart of the organisation. Through their collective annual support, they enable Tate to present a diverse and ambitious exhibition programme across our galleries, deliver vital education and learning initiatives, and acquire and care for works of art for the UK national collection.
