Careers

If you love building meaningful partnerships and you are energised by the power of the arts to change lives, this role offers the perfect platform to develop your skills, your network, and your career. This role drives the theatre’s sustainability and impact by securing vital financial support from charitable trusts and corporate partners. You’ll lead on achieving an annual income target, cultivate strong and lasting relationships with funders, and developing persuasive proposals and reports that bring artistic and community ambitions to life. 

You’ll be part of the life of the theatre hosting funders at rehearsals and workshops, joining planning conversations, and working closely with colleagues across Producing and Learning & Participation. You’ll gain invaluable behind-the-scenes insight into how a major producing theatre works and build strong relationships not only with donors but with our creatives and wider staff and local beneficiaries.
