Marketing Objective

To create and operationalise a crisply segmented annual marketing plan. It should engage clearly defined target groups with an emotive programme of events (on site and in other cities, especially London), communications & appeals as relevant to each group.

Senior Management Team

This role includes a seat on the Senior Management Team. It meets weekly to conduct all the parts of our talented orchestra. You will report on your team's progress to the SMT and report back to your team, ensuring news is routinely cascaded through the Museum, and ensuring your team feel involved, valued and motivated to deliver on our Purpose.

Trustee Fundraising Sub Committee

You will run four meetings per year of a new Trustee Fundraising Sub Committee, galvanising the support of key Trustees to identify and secure new prospects by making simple, clear 'asks' of their valuable and of course unpaid time.

About you

You will be:

Energetic Good with people but ruthlessly productive. Results will matter to you. Emotionally supportive of our ethos and able to represent it proudly. Emotionally intelligent: adapting approaches to different prospects, not one-size-fits-all. Have at least least 10 years fundraising experience with demonstrable results achieved by demonstrable strategies. Financially literate: it is essential you can manage a budget, a gift table and have some experience of P&L management. Digitally literate: you must be social media aware; able to use the CRM database; and the full Microsoft 365 suite. Ambitious: we are in an era of record highs in anti-Jewish racism and arguably a record low in British social cohesion. Our work delves into difficult histories and current affairs, and it is more vital than ever. And this work really works. You will relish the stimulation of working with talented colleagues who are as inspired by our ideals, and by a desire to make a difference, as you are.
