You will be a committed Development professional, with experience of cultivating and securing financial support from the business community. At Birmingham Hippodrome you will work in a dynamic, creative environment where no two days are the same, implementing successful fundraising initiatives, including events that attract corporate support.

This is a fast-paced and varied role for a committed and enthusiastic person who will be expected to work to deadlines, collaborating closely with colleagues in other departments across the organisation. You will work closely with the Executive team, Fundraising colleagues and other departments across the organisation while building productive relationships with the Board of Trustees that maximise our corporate relationships across wider networks.

This is a full-time, permanent role with us, in a hybrid capacity. The expectation is a minimum of 2 days per week onsite, and frequent appointments with current and potential supporters across the city, which may be outside the onsite days. The role will require some evening work at on and off-site networking events, hosting Corporate Patron visits and cultivation events. There will be occasional visits to our projects involving vulnerable populations, so the successful candidate will need to have, or be willing to undergo, a Basic DBS check. There are occasional weekend commitments, for which plenty of notice is given.
