Resonance is an artist-led community radio station supporting experimental arts and under-represented voices. We re looking for a Development Manager to take ownership of fundraising activity and help secure the income that sustains this work.

Working within a small team, you ll be expected to take responsibility for defined areas of fundraising activity, manage your own workflow and see work through to completion. You ll work independently day-to-day, while collaborating with the CEO on priorities, positioning and key opportunities.

The role will suit someone with experience of developing or contributing to funding applications, strong writing skills, and the ability to interpret artistic or community activity and communicate its value clearly to external audiences.
