Your entrepreneurial spirit allows you to spot trends and opportunities for developing and maximising fundraising activity for Population Matters. 

You are an experienced fundraiser, with a proven track record in fundraising, marketing, membership, writing proposals, and high-end face-to-face relations with funders.  You will be a self-starter, a confident communicator and have a track-record of managing and developing great stakeholder relationships with donors from a varied range of backgrounds.  You also have an eye for attention to detail to ensure accuracy and credibility in your work.

With a calendar bursting with live music performances, film, theatrical and literary offerings, we also have a variety of function rooms available for hire, an art gallery and a very popular café.

We are now looking for someone very special to join us as our General Manager to guide us through the next part of what has been a very exciting journey so far.  Could you be that special person?

You will need experience of managing and leading employees as well as volunteers and ideally will have worked or volunteered in the Community or Charity sectors.  Strong management skills will be essential of course as will plenty of drive, determination and commitment.  As The Exchange is open Mondays to Saturdays from 8.30am until very late on the nights we have live performances, the person we’re looking for will have to be happy working late nights sometimes and will need their own transport.  Knowledge of the performing arts sector would be very useful but is not essential. 

We can promise you that there will never be a dull moment in this full-on and exciting role. You will be responsible for the commercial success of The Exchange with involvement in programme planning and marketing, management of the café, room hire and finances.
