Job Introduction
Join us to help fundraise for Tate’s mission to make art accessible for all; to help drive Tate into the future, working with inspiring content and ground-breaking projects, in amazing spaces, and as part of a passionate, inclusive and welcoming team.
The Officer, Collection Committees provides support to the Head of Collection Committees & Patrons and the Manager, Collection Committees in sustaining the activities of Tate's Acquisitions Committees, a network of philanthropic giving groups whose supporters make annual donations that collectively support art acquisitions and related activity within each Committee's focus area.
