Future Talent supports gifted young musicians from low-income backgrounds across the UK. Join them as their next CEO and lead a mission where powerful storytelling and purposeful fundraising drive lasting impact and unlock potential every day.

Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 8th September 2025

Location: Hybrid/London SW9 6DE (2 days per week in the office)

About Future Talent

Founded in 2004 by the Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson OBE, Future Talent exists to break down barriers, create opportunities, and harness the transformative power of music to change the lives of young musicians across the UK.

With over 4.2 million children living in poverty in the UK, too many gifted young musicians are held back by a lack of access and support. We envision a future where all musically talented children, regardless of background, are empowered to thrive.

About the role

As CEO, you will provide strategic and operational leadership to ensure we can support more young musicians across the UK.

This is a hands-on, externally facing leadership role that combines fundraising, advocacy and organisational strategy. You’ll work closely with our committed Board of Trustees, expert Advisory Group and small, passionate staff team to:

• Strengthen and diversify our income, particularly high-value giving
• Build partnerships across the music, education, funding and philanthropic sectors
• Increase the charity’s visibility and voice on a national level
• Lead a high-performing, inclusive team culture
• Ensure the charity’s long-term financial sustainability and operational resilience

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone ambitious and excited about the impact Future Talent can have, and who brings the strategic perspective, day-to-day energy and stakeholder management to make that ambition a reality.

Who we are looking for

We’re looking for a confident, collaborative and energetic leader with experience working in a small charity environment and a passion for supporting young people and driving social change.

You don’t need to have been a CEO before; this could be your first time stepping into the role. What matters is that you bring the right leadership experience, values and ambition to take Future Talent forward.

You will bring:

• Proven success in fundraising and income growth, particularly with major donors, trusts and foundations and/or corporate partners
• Strong relationship-building skills and experience representing an organisation externally
• Strategic leadership experience, with the ability to lead organisational growth and change
• A people-centred leadership and management style that fosters inclusion, collaboration and high performance
• Financial and operational acumen

While your background could be in youth, arts, music, education, or another area of the charity sector, a personal interest or hobby in music would be a welcome bonus.
