Are you an experienced Corporate Fundraiser looking to take on your next challenge? Are you interested in using your talents to support the world\’s leading group of science museums?

About us

With unparalleled collections in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine and media, the Science Museum Group (SMG) aims to be a leader in informal learning where people of all generations can be inspired by the science that shapes the modern world.

Committed to supporting our mission, the Fundraising and Partnerships team plays a key role in delivering the Group\’s ambitions, with all our museums undergoing significant projects over the coming years, which require a step-change in income generation.

We are now seeking a Head of Corporate Relationships based at the Science Museum in London (with a Group-wide remit), to contribute to the successful delivery of SMG\’s vision in securing high-value gifts to support the ambitious masterplan and exhibition programme.

About the role

In this key leadership role, you will head up the fundraising activities of the Corporate fundraisers across the Group, and support the Director of Fundraising and Partnerships in meeting group-wide capital and revenue fundraising income targets. You will help to identify cross-team opportunities between major-donor fundraising and corporate relationships. You will be the expert in the Fundraising and Partnerships Department in Corporate sponsorship, including holding major relationships with long-term sponsors, sharing knowledge and expertise across the different museum Fundraising and Partnerships teams.

About you

You will bring experience of securing high-value (7 figure) investment, with a focus on sponsorship and corporate partnerships. As a people manager of the Corporate Relationships team, you will hold experience of developing a high-performing team within a diverse organisation, with an ability to motivate colleagues to deliver and work together. You will also be experienced in working at a senior level, liaising with Directors, Trustees and other senior stakeholders. Related skills in influencing, negotiation, diplomacy and tact will therefore be beneficial. Ultimately, working in a mission-led organisation, you will be motivated by using your skills to generate income to support the Group\’s ambitious masterplan and exhibition programme.

Don\’t feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn\’t match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.
