You will line manage two Development Managers and oversee departmental budgets, forecasting, reporting and KPIs. This role offers the opportunity to join a committed, collaborative team and to make a significant contribution to the future of one of the UK's most important new writing theatres. We are seeking an outstanding relationship builder with a proven track record of securing significant philanthropic income across major gifts, trusts, individual giving and corporate support-ideally within a producing theatre or arts organisation. You will bring excellent communication skills, strategic insight, confidence working with senior stakeholders and supporters, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast paced environment. Strong leadership skills and a commitment to Hampstead Theatre's artistic mission and inclusive values are essential.
