We're looking for a talented, entrepreneurial fundraising leader to join the ambitious team at Wentworth Woodhouse, working on what is arguably one of the most exciting and complex heritage regeneration projects of our generation. With momentum building and the potential for transformational fundraising, this is a pivotal role in the senior leadership team.

It's a brand-new opportunity, designed to unlock the next phase of income generation and build lasting partnerships to support the mission to protect, preserve and celebrate history and heritage.

About the role

This is your chance to lead from the front, building a culture of philanthropy and forging strong, strategic relationships across all income streams. With a capital programme already underway, the focus is now on creating a compelling, revenue-led fundraising strategy that supports long-term sustainability.

You'll nurture a dynamic portfolio of prospects, donors and partners, with a sharp eye for identifying and converting new opportunities. Whether it's securing high-value support from corporate partners, trusts or high-net-worth individuals, or boosting local engagement and community giving, relationships will fuel everything you do.

This is a role for a strategist and a storyteller: someone who sees the big picture, while delivering on the day-to-day. Working closely with the CEO, you'll shape partnerships, pitch new ideas, and lead on sponsorships and campaigns.

You'll also be a key representative externally, building trust with stakeholders and inspiring their investment in the future.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for creativity, confidence and a values-led approach to relationships. You bring both strategic thinking and hands-on experience, with the credibility and influence to inspire trust and support.

Ideally, we'd love to see evidence of this in your profile:

• A track record in corporate fundraising, sponsorship or strategic relationship management
• Experience developing and delivering fundraising or business development strategies
• Ability to influence and inspire, confident presenting to senior stakeholders
• A creative and entrepreneurial approach to identifying and converting new opportunities
• Excellent communication skills - both written and verbal - with a warm, professional approach
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work across teams and with senior stakeholders

You'll be joining a passionate and driven team, with the support to thrive and the freedom to lead.
