Senior digital fundraising officer jobs

Scottish Opera is Scotland’s national opera company and the country’s largest performing arts organisation. Founded in 1962 to make opera accessible to all, the company presents productions of international acclaim, from early works to world premieres. Performances are designed to be inclusive, with supertitles, audio-described and dementia-friendly shows, free and discounted tickets for under-26s, refugees, asylum seekers and schools, and touring productions reaching communities across Scotland.

The charity has a network of Patrons, members and supporters who engage with Scottish Opera at varying levels. This role supports that audience to feel connected and engaged with Scottish Opera, deepening their loyalty and seeking new ways to increase giving levels where possible and appropriate. It is a hands-on fundraising role, with scope to think and trial new ways of delivering supporter experience with the ultimate goal of growing the supporter base.

It is an exciting time to join Scottish Opera. They have invested in the fundraising team, there is organisation-wide support for fundraising, and many opportunities to engage supporters with exciting opportunities across Scottish Opera’s calendar.

This role might be for you if you consider yourself a relationship fundraiser – this is a people first role where engaging with donors over the phone and face to face will be the norm. You don’t have to have a background in philanthropy, you could have experience across community fundraising, corporate partnerships, individual giving or mid-value fundraising – the most important factor is that you understand fundraising and enjoy building great relationships with supporters and donors. This role is a great opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to step into a management level role, or for a candidate looking to specialise in mid-value, Patrons and membership fundraising.

Working within an arts and culture charity would be helpful for the candidate to have but isn't essential.

Charity People is thrilled to be partnering with The Harrow Club to recruit their new Head of Fundraising and Communications. This is a brilliant opportunity to join a respected, community-rooted youth charity at a genuinely exciting moment of growth. If you're someone who loves building relationships, creating clarity and momentum, and shaping a function with purpose at its heart, this could be the perfect next step.

• Salary: £50,000
• Location: Harrow Club, W10

About The Harrow Club
The Harrow Club is a longstanding and highly respected youth charity working at the heart of some of West London's most disadvantaged communities. For more than 140 years, the organisation has championed local young people, providing universal youth clubs alongside targeted specialist support for those aged 10-21 who need it most.

Each week, the organisation works with up to 500 young people across six youth club sites and a wide range of targeted interventions spanning education, wellbeing, employability and positive life choices. Their model is rooted in trusted relationships, high-quality programmes, and early intervention - helping young people grow in confidence, overcome disadvantage, and move toward a positive future.

About the Role
This is a strategic and hands-on opportunity to lead and shape The Harrow Club's fundraising and communications activity. You'll drive sustainable income growth, raise the charity's profile, and ensure its story is told with clarity, conviction and heart.
This role will suit someone with ambition, emotional intelligence and a strong sense of purpose - someone excited by the chance to build something meaningful and see their work directly translate into better outcomes for young people.

"We are looking for someone with energy, credibility, and purpose. Someone who is motivated by impact, comfortable with responsibility, and excited by the opportunity to build something that really matters.

In this role, you'll be the driving force behind an ambitious fundraising programme, shaping a bold strategy, unlocking new income streams, and building a diverse, future-proof pipeline. You'll lead on high-value bids and forge relationships with trusts, foundations, corporates and major donors, creating compelling propositions that inspire long-term support. You will elevate the charity's profile through impactful campaigns, events and content that bring the Harrow Club's mission to life.

About you
We're looking for a values-driven fundraiser with a strong track record of securing income across trusts, corporates, major donors and/or foundations. A skilled communicator with excellent writing and relationship-building abilities, you're confident managing multiple projects and leading people to do their best work.
