Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Head of Development
(Vollzeit, feste)
£50,000 p/year
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) has a clear mission to enrich lives through orchestral experiences that are uncompromising in their excellence, wide-ranging in their appeal and inclusive in their delivery.
Performing approximately 200 concerts each season and with a global live and online audience of more than 60 million people, the Orchestra acts as a cultural ambassador for the UK on the world stage, whilst
enhancing the social and cultural fabric of local communities through a wide range of community, education, inclusion and wellbeing programmes.
As the Orchestra looks forward to its 80th Anniversary in 2026, we are seeking to appoint a dynamic, highly motivated and experienced fundraising professional to shape and implement a new fundraising strategy that will achieve ambitious financial targets and enable the RPO to continue in its mission.
The RPO’s Business Development Department generates revenue for the Orchestra from donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales. It also communicates the Orchestra’s key messages to audiences and
supporters in ways that maximise the value and impact of the RPO brand and inspire journeys of discovery. The Head of Development reports to the Deputy Managing Director / Business Development Director and works closely with the Head of Sales and Marketing to plan and fulfil the Orchestra’s fundraising strategy and meet Arts Council England’s ‘Let’s Create’ objectives.
The Head of Development will lead the Development Team in delivering a refreshed Development Strategy that will form part of the RPO’s 5-year business plan and achieve ambitious fundraising targets to support
the Orchestra’s annual schedule of performances, events and community and education programmes.
