About the Role
ChalleNGe Nottingham is seeking an experienced and ambitious Development Manager to help secure the long-term sustainability and growth of Nottingham's Cultural Education Partnership.

Working closely with the ChalleNGe team, Steering Group and a wide range of partners across education, culture, business and the voluntary sector, you will lead the development of new fundraising, partnership and governance opportunities. A key focus of the role will be establishing a city-wide Children's Fund, diversifying income streams and exploring future organisational models that will enable ChalleNGe to continue delivering high-quality cultural opportunities for children and young people across Nottingham.

This is a highly collaborative and strategic role, requiring an individual with a strong track record in fundraising, relationship management and business development. You will build and maintain partnerships with funders, corporate supporters, trusts and foundations, develop compelling funding propositions, and champion the value and impact of cultural education to a diverse range of stakeholders.

The successful candidate will combine strategic thinking with a hands-on approach to securing investment, developing sustainable funding models and strengthening the partnership infrastructure needed to support ChalleNGe's future ambitions.

This is a fixed term contract based in Nottingham, for 2 days a week (15 hours) to work closely with ChalleNGe's core team, Steering group, strategic partners and their senior Fundraising/Development teams. An understanding of the needs of schools, cultural venues, and community stakeholders as well as the wider arts and cultural funding landscape, is essential. Knowledge of social value business and corporate giving is also essential.
