National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS)
Deadline: 29 June 2026 at 09:00
NYCOS is looking to appoint a dynamic and energetic individual to play a central role in developing and sustaining the alumni program and individual giving strategy.
We are looking for an inventive and creative person, excited by the opportunity to build a supportive community of individuals. You may have experience in stewardship but you could just as likely transfer your skills from another sector. This role would suit someone with an eye for opportunities and details, and the desire to build something exciting from scratch.
Working with Trustees and external expertise, the right candidate will build on and sustain the existing Alumni programme that connects our Alumni from the last 30 years to each other and to the organisation.
You will lead the income generation process for individuals and alumni, including the NYCOS Friends Scheme and legacies, working closely with colleagues across the organisation.
The role involves cultivating relationships with existing and new donors, and negotiating and securing gifts from individuals.
What we’re looking for:
Skills & Experience
- Exceptional writing and communication skills, with an ability to convey detailed information in a concise and compelling way.
- Ability to work proactively and constructively with colleagues to develop high-quality proposals or other projects.
- Experience in establishing and stewarding productive relationships with stakeholders or funders.
- Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills.
- Ability to prioritise and meet regular deadlines whilst working under pressure.
- Experience of budget development and management.
Competencies
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage a wide range of people with our work.
- High attention to detail, particularly regarding budget and event planning, and in written work.
- Exceptional influencing, negotiation and diplomacy skills.
- Ability to think and operate strategically and provide flexible solutions.
- Able to deliver to demanding deadlines and with a hands‑on approach.
- Excellent IT skills including use of CRM.
- Ability to self‑motivate, work as part of a small team, and support colleagues, even under pressure.
- Confident, resilient and resourceful, with the capacity to negotiate through personal influence.
- Appreciation of and support for the aims, values and ethos of NYCOS.
Hours
Full‑time (35 hours per week) but we would consider a part‑time for the right candidate.
Salary
£30,000–£35,000 per annum (pro rata)
