Who are we?

Art Fund is the national fundraising charity for art. With over 148,000 members, we are leading the way in pioneering support for an inclusive and welcoming museum and gallery sector across the UK.

We work closely with a network of over 1000 museums and respond to their needs and aspirations. We're excited to see how they want to develop: to expand and diversify their collections and workforce, develop curatorial skills, make ambitious acquisitions, and create a welcoming, inclusive space for communities. With the support of over 148,000 members who buy a National Art Pass, patrons, and donors we can provide grants, encourage visiting and advocate for museums' essential role and value.

We have diversity, inclusion, and sustainability central to our thinking and the opportunity to be a force for good, galvanise support and help change things for the better inspires our team.

The role

We're looking for an exceptional Head of Membership to join our Audiences Directorate and take ownership of Art Fund's core membership portfolio at a pivotal moment in our growth. This is a leadership role that combines commercial weight (you'll own the membership budget, income targets, and product roadmap) with real creative purpose: shaping the propositions, pricing, and member experiences that bring art within reach of more people across the UK. You'll lead a talented team, own our CRM transformation programme, and shape the products and strategies that will grow our membership base - from retaining our loyal existing members to attracting a new generation. If you have a strong track record in membership, subscription, or loyalty programme leadership, a data-driven mindset, and a passion for what arts and culture can do for people, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Employee Benefits

• Generous Annual leave – 25 days annual leave and bank holidays, with additional non-contractual office closure dates at Christmas.
• Free National Art Pass (NAP) – for yourself and another person of your choice.
• Free Entry to Exhibitions
• Life Assurance – cover for up to three times your basic salary.
• Season Ticket Loan
• Pensions – Eligible employees are enrolled into the scheme with the exception of those who have contracts of three months or less. Art Fund contributes 8% of the basic annual salary during the first six months of employment or until probation is successfully completed, whichever is the later. At that point the contribution is increased to 10%.

Closing deadline: 23.59pm on 31 May 2026
