Whether on our stages at our home on The Cut, touring to schools and community centres across south London, premiering a play in the West End or on Broadway, streaming our work across the country and around the world - the Young Vic is actively working to be a theatre for everyone.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking for an introductory role to the world of arts fundraising, working within a dynamic fundraising team. This is an exceptional moment for the Young Vic under the new artistic direction of Nadia Fall OBE as she launches her second season of programming in spring 2026 and as we launch a new website and a refreshed fundraising strategy.

Development Department

Each year the Development Department is responsible for raising c.25% of the Young Vic's income to enable great work on our stages and, vitally, in our communities. With philanthropy and memberships equating to around half of our annual fundraised income in 25/26, this is a huge area of opportunity and growth and in 2026 a refreshed membership scheme, driven by excellent donor stewardship and benefit delivery, will be vital to securing targets. Led by a newly appointed Development Director, we are a fast-paced team of six, with ambitions to majorly increase income back to pre-pandemic levels.

The Role

This position will play a key supporting role in the Development team as we deliver our significant fundraising ambitions and is central to ensuring our donors are stewarded effectively and we are now looking for someone who is interested in building a career in arts fundraising and finding out more about how a busy Development team in Theatre operates.
