Memberships Manager - Suffolk, United States - Association of British Orchestras

Description

Britten Pears Arts is a pioneering music, arts and heritage charity based on the Suffolk coast at two popular, historic visitor destinations: The Red House and Snape Maltings.

We emerged from the creative partnership of Benjamin Britten, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, and his professional and personal partner, singer Peter Pears.

Our founders' vision, that music should be useful and enhance lives, inspires all our activities: our work with local and marginalised communities through to our national leadership roles in the fields of talent development and music for health & wellbeing.

The jewel in our year-round performance programme is the internationally acclaimed annual Aldeburgh Festival, celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2024.

Britten Pears Arts has a lively and dynamic Development Team that is responsible for raising over a third of the charity's annual revenue so is fundamental to the continuation – and growth - of the organisation.

Working closely with colleagues from across the organisation, the team raises £2m annually and over half of this is from individual donations.

We are looking for an experienced, creative and motivated individual who wants to develop their fundraising skills in a supportive, collaborative and dynamic team.

There is huge potential for growing our fundraised income from our membership schemes and this is an exciting time to play a key role in this step change.

We are committed to developing the skills of our team and offer full training and support.

The Memberships Manager sits within the Development team and is essential to the smooth running of our memberships and care of our individual supporters, as well as the delivery of events for our Friends and Members.

This role is based at Snape, although some home working may be possible in line with our Hybrid Working Policy, and we are also open to this role being 0.8FTE (28 hours per week).

We are looking for:

• Someone with experience of developing and managing mutually beneficial relationships eg: in a fund-raising or account management role.
• Accurate and efficient admin skills – great attention to detail and the ability to stick to deadlines.
• Engaging communication skills – verbal and written.
• Experience of CRM's and knowledge of GDPR would be beneficial
• Someone whose values align with those of BPA – particular in respect of team working, collaboration and creativity.

We are an equal opportunities employer and believe that diversity strengthens and enriches us.

We positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates of all ages and from all backgrounds, in particular from minority ethnic backgrounds and disabled candidates who are currently under-represented at Britten Pears Arts.
