Job description

Since opening its doors in 1871, Royal Albert Hall has stood at the heart of the nation’s cultural life. From the Suffragettes to Stormzy, Elgar to Einstein, the Beatles to Shirley Bassey, the world’s most influential voices have shaped moments of history on its iconic stage.

A £50 million capital appeal was launched in late 2025, which will fund improvements of facilities for artists, audiences and young people taking part in engagement activities at the Grade I listed concert hall. This 15-year estate plan represents a significant evolution in the Hall’s fundraising approach, creating an exceptional opportunity to expand its philanthropic reach, deepen relationships with supporters and secure transformational investment in the future of this much-loved institution.

The Senior Philanthropy Manager (Maternity Cover) will play a pivotal role in the delivery of its major donor programme. Reporting to the Head of Philanthropy, this role sits at the heart of the philanthropy team, combining hands-on major gifts fundraising with oversight of systems, processes and pipeline management. The postholder will shape and steward a growing portfolio of high-value supporters during a critical phase of the Hall’s capital appeal, while ensuring that donor engagement activity is coordinated, consistent and effective.

Please note that interviews will occur on a rolling basis. To discuss the role in more detail and make an application, please apply ASAP with a copy of your most recent CV plus any additional information that aligns with the person specification below.

As Senior Philanthropy Manager, you will:

  • Report to the Head of Philanthropy and line manage two direct reports – Senior Prospect Researcher and Philanthropy Coordinator – fostering clarity, structure and confidence within your team.
  • Manage a personal portfolio of major donors, stewarding relationships typically in the £20,000–£500,000 range.
  • Work to a team income target, generating funds from HNWIs through major gifts, mid-value gifts and legacies.
  • Own and drive the major donor pipeline, ensuring clear next steps, momentum and follow-through across cultivation, solicitation and stewardship.
  • Be donor-facing, through regular face-to-face meetings, cultivation activity and events, including evening engagement as part of stewardship.
  • Ensure robust processes are in place for tracking, thanking and income processing, with delivery support from the Philanthropy Coordinator.
  • Act as a central coordinating figure for major donor activity, working closely with the Head of Philanthropy, Development Director and selected Philanthropy Board members.
  • Lead on the rollout of donor communications, including tailored donor stewardship and wider impact reporting.
  • Work closely with other development colleagues who focus on the Hall’s Friends and Patrons programmes, Trust and Foundation approaches and Events.

Essential skills and experience:

  • Demonstrable experience of managing and stewarding high-value individual donors, ideally within a major gifts or upper mid-value context.
  • Experience of personally securing c.£50K+ donations from HNWIs – please ensure that examples of personally secured gifts from HNWIs, including £value, are included on your CV. It would also be helpful to include context e.g., uplift, new donor
  • Confidence working with fundraising databases and systems (ideally Tessitura), and a strong understanding of GDPR and DPA 2018.
  • Strong organisational and process skills, with the ability to keep complex, multi-strand activity moving and well-tracked.
  • Experience of working collaboratively in a matrixed environment with senior stakeholders and volunteers.
  • Some line management or mentoring experience, with the ability to provide clear direction and practical support. However, this is not a heavily people-management-focused role
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging donors in a range of settings.
  • A proactive, detail-oriented approach, combined with sound judgement and professionalism.

Desirable:

  • Arts, culture or heritage fundraising experience.
  • Experience of working on or alongside a capital appeal.

Employee benefits include: 

  • 25 days per year annual leave (pro rata for part-time employees), with the opportunity to buy or sell up to five days holiday per calendar year
  • Life assurance of 6 x basic salary
  • RAH’s canteen offers free hot and cold meals, including vegetarian options, to staff whilst at work
  • Employee Assistance Programme
