Philanthropy Manager (Manchester Museum)

Job reference: PSX-026773

Salary: £45,585-£56,021 per annum, dependent on relevant experience

Location: Manchester Museum

Employment type: Fixed Term

Hours Per Week: Full Time (1 FTE)

Contract Duration: 14 months (Maternity Cover)

Right now, is Manchester’s time to shine. This year, we’re celebrating 200 years of making a difference. And we’re currently preparing to launch our first ever major fundraising and volunteering campaign.

Manchester Museum will play a key role in the campaign. The Museum – which is part of The University of Manchester – cares for over 4.5 million objects, with an internationally important collection spanning from Archaeology to Zoology. It works with communities, supports university students and schools in Manchester and beyond, and is a free, inclusive museum for all.

Since reopening after a major capital redevelopment in February 2023, Manchester Museum has gone from strength to strength. In its first year it more than doubled its visitor numbers. The Museum’s visitor base today reflects its communities and context – just under a third of visitors are under 25 and over a third are from the global majority.

As the University’s fundraising lead for Manchester Museum, you’ll be responsible for driving forward the Museum’s philanthropic fundraising strategy, working closely with colleagues across the Museum and our wider University fundraising team. You’ll unlock the potential of philanthropy at Manchester Museum – developing and nurturing relationships with people, networks, businesses and associations who have the ability to make significant gifts to support Museum priorities. Working closely with colleagues across the Museum and University, you’ll identify opportunities for philanthropy to play a key role in delivering the Museum’s mission. And you’ll develop creative and effective engagement, cultivation and stewardship plans that deepen prospect relationships and inspire future support.

Working in close collaboration with colleagues in areas like Trusts and Foundations, Legacies, Regular Giving, and Communications, you’ll identify opportunities to maximise fundraising income across Manchester Museum. You’ll work together to embed a culture of fundraising across the Museum – giving visitors, online audiences, supporters and friends the Museum the opportunity to play an active role in its future. You’ll also act as a key point of liaison between the Museum and the University’s fundraising team.

What you will get in return:

· Fantastic market leading Pension scheme.

· Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme.

· Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays.

· Additional paid closure over the Christmas period.

· Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.  All appointments are made on merit.

Our University is positive about flexible working – you can find out more here
