Overview of the role

Help build our corporate partnerships programme at a defining moment in our history. London Transport Museum is the world’s leading museum of urban transport. As an education and preservation charity, LTM uses the powerful link between transport and the growth of London, culture and society since 1800 to tell the story of London’s journey over the past 200 years. The Museum’s purpose is to ignite curiosity to shape the future.

As we embark on an ambitious capital campaign to reimagine London Transport Museum, we are seeking two proactive, relationship‑driven Corporate Fundraising Executives to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of corporate partnerships at the Museum. You will nurture a portfolio of long‑standing corporate supporters, ensuring partnerships deliver mutual value. You will support with identifying and developing new business opportunities, crafting compelling funding and partnership proposals and personally manage a pipeline of corporate prospects, delivering exceptional stewardship that strengthens long‑term commitment from both Corporate Sponsors and Members.

Working closely with the Corporate Partnerships Managers and Fundraising Events Manager, you will secure exciting auction items and table sales for the London Transport Dinner & Auction and support with building compelling events for the Interchange thought leadership programme. A confident communicator with a proven track record in relationship management, you’ll be highly motivated, bringing initiative and flair, strong planning, organisation and research skills and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced environment. Above all, you’ll be motivated by the Museum’s mission and excited by the chance to help secure the transformational support that will unlock our next chapter.

If you’re an experienced relationship builder with a strong background in fundraising or stakeholder engagement, ready to make a visible, lasting impact and help shape the future of one of London’s most iconic museums, we’d love to hear from you.
