The Business Development Department, lead by the Business Development Director, comprises the Marketing and Development teams which generate revenue for the Orchestra through ticket sales, donations, and sponsorships. It also communicates the Orchestra's journey to audiences and supporters in ways which maximises the value and impact of the RPO brand.

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is seeking to appoint an ambitious and enterprising Individual Giving Manager to develop the RPO Patrons' programme. The Individual Giving Manager supports the Head of Development to provide the highest-level donor stewardship to existing benefactors. As an RPO ambassador, the post-holder's foremost responsibility will be to ensure that RPO supporters remain actively engaged in the life of the Orchestra and inspired to continue and/or increase annual giving. In parallel, the Individual Giving Manager leverages new and existing networks to grow the RPO's pipeline of prospects, recruiting new donors to the Patron family in line with agreed annual financial targets.

As a front-line fundraiser, the post-holder engages with the full breadth of the Orchestra's work, collaborating with the wider Business Development Department to ensure that key fundraising messages are communicated with consistency and integrity, and through a compelling narrative.

The RPO encourages applications from candidates who are looking to take the next step in their career by taking on the challenge of a more senior fundraising role.
