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.

You will be an experienced trusts and foundations fundraiser who can bring demonstrable success in securing, managing and effectively stewarding significant grants, together with a clear strategic understanding of the current grant-making climate across the UK.

Ideally bringing your own knowledge of key contacts and networks to the role, you will be as confident in meeting and developing relationships with vital contacts in the sector as you are when writing a funding proposal. You will also be a strong team player who can work closely with colleagues to identify opportunities as they arise.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative and passionate trust fundraiser to play a vital strategic role in developing and expanding trust and foundation support for a world-class orchestra.

Flexible working including later or earlier start and finish times, compressed hours and home working will be considered.
