The V&A is a world-leading family of museums dedicated to the power of creativity. Across six sites, their mission is to champion design and creativity in all its forms, advance cultural knowledge, and inspire makers, creators and innovators everywhere.
In this newly created role, the Deputy Director, Philanthropy, will lead the V&A’s major gifts and philanthropic fundraising strategy across Philanthropy, Grants, Patrons, Legacy Giving and the V&A Americas Foundation, in collaboration with the Director of Development. You will drive income growth across ambitious capital projects, endowment campaigns, acquisitions, exhibitions, learning programmes and all other strategic V&A priorities. Crucially, you will also work closely with the Deputy Director, Partnerships and Business Development, to identify inter‑linked donor relationships and encourage cross‑team collaboration to align all strands of income generation to meet the department’s annual multi‑million‑pound targets.
As an experienced fundraiser, you will bring a strong track record of securing and stewarding major and principal gifts and working on capital campaigns. Underpinning your success has been your highly collaborative approach and enterprising nature, as well as your exceptional networking and relationship‑building skills. This has been demonstrated in your ability to motivate colleagues and integrate and align strategies across teams. You will be excited by the opportunity to bring your skills to the V&A, and to engage with senior stakeholders, drive a high‑value donor pipeline, ensure donor engagement, successful campaign delivery and international fundraising initiatives, and build influential networks globally.
If you share the V&A’s dedication to the power of creativity, we would love to hear from you.
Candidates must hold a permanent Right To Work in the UK in order to be considered for this role.
