The Edinburgh International Festival is one of the world’s great celebrations of the performing arts, bringing people together across cultures since 1947. Each August, we transform Edinburgh into a global stage, showcasing the most exciting and original work in opera, music, dance and theatre.
Beyond the festival, we create year‑round experiences that spark creativity and deepen cultural curiosity. Our ambition is bold: to deliver world‑class art to the widest possible audience.
We are looking for a Senior Philanthropy Manager to drive major donor growth, particularly among wider national and international supporters. With a focus on donors with capacity to give £10,000+, and a portfolio mainly centred in London and New York, you will design compelling engagement strategies, secure new gifts, and grow existing support.
In this role you will work closely with senior leadership, playing a key role in securing some of the Festival’s most significant donations. We seek a proactive, strategic fundraiser with a strong track record in individual major gifts and stakeholder management. The ideal candidate thrives on building relationships, thinking creatively, and delivering results as part of a collaborative team.
