Job description

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. 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. We could not maintain our reputation, the range of our work or our digital presence without the support of our philanthropists, funders, members, business partners and sponsors.

The Development and Advocacy Department (D&A) plays a vital role in this, by securing the Arts Council England grant (currently over £22m) plus raising over £41m revenue annually plus additional for capital, advocating to government and other influencers for our value and role in the community and sector, and in ensuring we deliver on our charitable mission, retain the best artists and crafts people, maintain our beautiful grade I listed building and continue to produce world class performances.

Working within an experienced, successful and highly committed department, this role will create, deliver and implement the strategy for the Membership Programmes (Friends and Patrons) at the Royal Ballet and Opera (RBO), to meet agreed annual income targets (currently £10m in membership fees and events). Working closely with colleagues across departments, you will look at recruitment and retention, campaigns, events, review of products and services and ensure our sector leading offering is effectively delivered.

Our ideal candidate will be a natural leader, who will adeptly manage a large team to meet objectives and work to high performance standards. They will have the ability to operate effectively at all levels and across functions, building strong relationships and driving a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing.

They will be able to demonstrate:

  • Extensive experience of running and growing philanthropic income from large scale membership programmes 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 a wide range of stakeholders
  • The ability to drive and deliver a successful season plan for key moments when tickets go on sale and audience engagement
  • Excellent programme and project management skills, with a track record of achieving demanding goals to tight deadlines
  • The ability to refine and deliver a programme of benefits and events for members, working with multi-disciplinary teams for delivery
  • Significant experience in setting objectives, establishing systems and allocating workload and resources effectively for direct reports and their teams


Closing date for applications: 8am, Monday 14th July 2025
1st stage interviews will be held 21st - 23rd July
2nd stage interviews will be held 29th July onwards
