Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.
The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts - we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.
We could not maintain this range of work or our digital presence without support from philanthropists, funders, members, business partners and sponsors. Legacies contribute circa £1.2m to the RBO per annum through the Royal Opera House Endowment Fund and approximately £500k directly to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden Foundation.
We are now seeking an interim Senior Legacies and Endowment Manager who will review, build and deliver the organisation`s strategy for Endowment Funding and legacy-giving, to expand both. This role will suit a candidate who has excellent programme planning and project management skills. You will be a subject matter expert, who can help develop not only the strategy but also the small team around you. With excellent relationship management and development skills, you will role model best practice and demonstrate credibility and influence as an ambassador for the Royal Ballet and Opera.
You will have:
- Extensive experience of planning and leading programmes for giving and legacy giving in performing arts/ museum/ wider charity sector, with up-to-date knowledge of tax and other technical issues
- Highly developed written and verbal communication skills, with ability to inspire and influence wide range of stakeholders
- The ability to develop a successful strategy and marketing plan for audience engagement
- The ability to devise and deliver a programme of benefits and events for supporters, working with multi-disciplinary teams for delivery
- The ability to devise bespoke programmes for stewardship of high value relationships as required
We value the diversity new hires can bring to our workforce. A working knowledge of our repertoire is not essential, but the ability to learn quickly is.

This is a highly facilitative, cross functional role requiring exceptional judgement, communication, and organisational skills. It operates with a birds-eye, systems level view of the organisation, acting as the connective tissue that keeps the SLT aligned.

5. Cross-Functional Coordination and Collaboration: Enable effective communication and coordination across teams, ensuring alignment and follow through on organisational priorities.
About you
We know that long lists of criteria can be discouraging and that some candidates will not apply for a role unless they feel they feel they meet all of the criteria. If you feel you meet at least some of the essential criteria, we still encourage you to apply.
We also recognise that skills and experience can be gained in unexpected places, so we welcome applications from candidates who feel they have relevant skills for the role, gained from a wide range of professional, lived and learned experiences.

About FILE
The Foundation for International Law for the Environment (FILE) is a not-for-profit philanthropic organisation working to accelerate legal action on climate change.
Through grant-making and in-house legal expertise, we empower our partners to deliver strategic, innovative legal interventions and we support lawyers in their own countries to bring their own cases.
Legal action can unlock the systemic changes in finance, policy and social systems needed to protect all of us from climate change. The power of the law is both direct (changing policy and practice) and indirect (signalling the wider shifts taking place across these systems).
FILE is a ‘regrantor’ - this means we do not bring legal action in our own name. We receive grants from our philanthropic donors and make onwards grants to partners who align with FILE’s charitable aims and purposes. We do not seek to make any profit from our activities either in a relevant financial year or in the longer term.
Location
We are advertising this role for candidates based (and with the right to work) in the UK.
Working for FILE
FILE is a collaborative community of individuals who share a passion for climate, nature, and justice. We bring together knowledge and experience to support our mission.
Our people are empowered to lead their work both individually and as part of a wider team in order to make impactful change.

We are excited to be bringing the legendary Choose Love Shop back to London’s Regent Street this winter. This is the ultimate charity store where customers can buy essential items for refugees like hot meals, winter coats for children and sleeping bags. Instead of taking them home, each purchase buys an item for someone who truly needs it. Customers can also buy Choose Love merch as well as fabulous fashion and beauty donated by stylists, brands and celebrities. At the Choose Love shop the world is a better place with every purchase. Last year’s we raised over $1.1 million for our life-saving work and this year’s shop promises to be bigger and better than ever!
The Deputy Store Manager is a key part of the team representing Choose Love in the exciting winter fundraising period. You will support the Store Manager in monitoring and managing the Choose Love store in London. Your primary remit is raising much-needed funds to help Choose Love reach their fundraising target this winter. You will supervise 2 Sales Assistants and engage with customers and volunteers to ensure everyone feels valued and welcomed. It’s not a traditional retail environment - it’s a joyful experience to be in the store, and you’ll help make it memorable.
Alongside the Sales Assistants, you will interact directly with customers at the store, processing card-only donations and answering any questions. You will also need to help coordinate corporate and community volunteers when they arrive on ‘shift’ and provide them with a thorough training briefing before they begin their shift. You will manage merchandise stock and keep the store looking tidy and slick.
We are pioneering a new movement in humanitarian aid: fast, flexible, transparent and accountable.
