Senior Development Manager

OETC has a strong track record fundraising from Trusts and Foundations and statutory contracts. The Senior Development Manager is a newly created position that will play a crucial role in the strategic development of new income streams, including individuals and corporates, as well as growing existing sources of income. This position offers an exciting opportunity to join a creative and ambitious organisation and to shape its future. We welcome applications from candidates that are considering taking the next step in their fundraising career and who are moving
into their first senior leadership role. The Senior Development Manager will be supported to flourish in this new role by our CEO and Development Subcommittee, which is made up of expert fundraisers from across the arts and social welfare sectors. Whilst they will be expected to work autonomously across at least one
income stream, experienced members of the Development Subcommittee will be available to help them develop any skills required to successfully implement fundraising activities where they may have less experience. The Senior Development Manager will lead on the development and delivery of fundraising and income generation (including trusts, foundations, statutory contracts, corporate partners and individuals) to secure five and six figure gifts for OETC.

They will:
Take a proactive response to managing pre-existing relationships with our funders, as well as growing our funding portfolio for the future.
Shape an ambitious new strategy for generating sustainable income by developing strong corporate relationships and increasing individual donations by developing a strong supporter base.
Hold responsibility and oversight for all funding reports and impact measurement for funded projects.
