Job description

About the role

At the Natural History Museum, we’re on an extraordinary journey — transforming how millions of people experience science, nature, and our shared planet. As a global centre of scientific excellence and a beloved cultural institution, we are reimagining our spaces, expanding our world-class collections, and tackling urgent challenges such as biodiversity loss and climate change. Philanthropy is central to realising these ambitions, powering everything from groundbreaking research to bold capital developments.

The Philanthropy Manager plays a pivotal role in this transformation. As part of a high-performing, collaborative Development team, the postholder will secure transformational six-figure gifts from high-net-worth individuals, generating significant philanthropic income to support a diverse portfolio of inspiring projects. Working closely with senior stakeholders, curators, and scientists, the role will shape compelling cases for support that connect donors to the Museum’s mission and impact. The postholder will provide exemplary stewardship and create robust and long-term pipelines, whilst actively supporting the Philanthropy Executive with their portfolio.

This position offers the chance to influence the future of one of the world’s most iconic museums, whilst sharing the Museum’s ambition with like-minded philanthropists.

About you

As our next Philanthropy Manager, you’ll bring your talent for cultivating meaningful relationships and turning strategic vision into tangible support for one of the world’s most inspiring institutions. You’ll thrive on building and managing a dynamic portfolio of major donors by researching prospects, crafting tailored proposals, and delivering exceptional stewardship that deepens engagement year after year. With your outstanding communication skills and confident ambassadorial presence, you’ll represent the Natural History Museum to an array of high-profile supporters, translating complex ideas into compelling stories that spark generosity. Collaborative and proactive, you’ll work closely with colleagues across the Museum to shape innovative funding opportunities that align with our bold scientific and cultural ambitions. Meticulous organisation, a sharp eye for detail, and an ability to stay composed under pressure will ensure you deliver exceptional results in a fast-moving, purpose-driven environment.

If you’re a motivated relationship-builder with a track record of securing significant gifts and you want to use your skills to make a lasting difference, we would love to hear from you.

Thriving at the Museum: the way we work

We are proud to work at the Museum and have identified the qualities we all need to embody to reach our shared ambition. This sits alongside the Museum’s values and forms the framework for the way we work.
