We are currently recruiting for a Senior Individual Giving Manager to join our Development team on a 12 month fixed-term contract from January 2027.

Glyndebourne is one of the world's leading opera companies. We produce opera of the very highest quality in a state-of-the-art opera house situated within a landscape of outstanding natural beauty.

We are going through a period of exciting change and growth, welcoming a new generation of opera-goers and taking our artistic ambitions to new heights.

In 2026 we welcomed close to 100,000 people to our acclaimed summer Festival: more than in any year since 2007. The Festival has remained  financially independent since its inception and is a registered charity that relies on box office income, memberships, and donations to fund its operations.

This position offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced and ambitious fundraising professional to join our small but dynamic development team, which includes major giving, trusts and foundations, prospect research, individual giving, events, and legacies. We are working towards our Centenary in 2034 and are looking for an innovative and driven senior fundraiser to join our highly successful team and help take the organisation to the next level by reaching ambitious fundraising targets.

The main focus of this role is to steward the relationships and generate further income from the Senior Individual Giving Manager’s donors and grow the prospect pipeline. As a member of the Development team, you will collaborate with fellow fundraisers and the Director of Development to shape, refine, and execute our fundraising strategy. The role centres on growing our fundraising revenue, building a prospect portfolio from scratch, forging meaningful connections, and nurturing long-term relationships.
