Based in London at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, and with a thriving national and international touring schedule, the Philharmonia creates thrilling performances for a global audience. 

The Orchestra is led by Finnish conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen, its Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor since 2008. Fellow Finn Santtu- Matias Rouvali takes over from Salonen as Principal Conductor in the 2021/22 season. 

At the beginning of September 2020, the orchestra welcomed Alexander Van Ingen as Chief Executive and Lord King of Lothbury as Chair, both of whom will play a pivotal role in shaping the Orchestra and equipping it to navigate the future with confidence and ambition.

The COVID pandemic has had a profound impact on the performing arts and the ability to perform to live audiences.  However, the Philharmonia has in the last six months pivoted and embraced the opportunity of harnessing technology to reimagine itself and music through the digital space.

This has given the orchestra the opportunity to create three extraordinary, and importantly, free digital concerts in partnership with Classic FM: The Philharmonia Sessions which have featured world renowned soloists Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Nicola Benedetti. These summer concerts have reached six-figure audiences in the UK and around the world and drawn widespread critical acclaim.  The Philharmonia has recently announced an autumn programme including a further six online performances as the Orchestra continues to build out its new digital performance schedule during this period.

The Head of Trusts & Foundations will work with the Director of Development and the Development Board to create a new trusts and foundations strategy realigning fundraising with the ‘new normal’, focusing not just on the important Learning and Engagement programmes but also strategically increasing the focus on wider core activity.

As The Head of Operations and Engagement, you will be committed to embracing a ‘make it happen’ working environment, leading by example, with constant dedication and passion for making a difference as part of a committed charity, supporting disadvantaged communities.

You will have a track record of leading resourceful, high performing teams, ideally within a community setting, managing multiple contracts and/or projects, negotiating, and maintaining strong relationships with a broad range of partners and stakeholders.
