Fundraising Executive Assistant

Full-time
Salary: Competitive, according to experience

The three Monteverdi ensembles – the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique – are a leading force on the international music scene. World-class musicians and singers from many nationalities come together to share in the distinctive vision of our founder and music director, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, in ground-breaking projects that span eight centuries of musical masterpieces.

The ensembles are in great demand worldwide and enjoy an ever-increasing global audience and supporter base. They regularly tour to prestigious venues and festivals around the world and have recorded extensively for several decades on major labels, as well as on their own award-winning label SDG, which alone boasts a back catalogue of over 50 titles.

This is an exciting time to join our dedicated and highly motivated team as we embark on presenting landmark projects to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Monteverdi Choir in 2024.

As a charity without public subsidy, we rely entirely on the generosity of our benefactors to fill the gap between box office income and performance costs, to keep our ambitious projects affordable to our audiences. We are looking for a highly organised, detail-focussed self-motivated colleague to support our organisation’s fundraising efforts, to ensure we continue to raise the necessary funds to realise our ambitions and long-term goals. The successful candidate will have proven skills in stewarding relationships, researching donors and funding opportunities and ensuring database records remain effective; they will also have a persuasive writing style and a pleasant face-to-face manner.

Exceptional candidates will be invited to interview immediately.
