Head of Development

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) has a clear mission to enrich lives through orchestral experiences that are uncompromising in their excellence, wide-ranging in their appeal and inclusive in their delivery. As the Orchestra looks forward to its 80th Anniversary in 2026, we are seeking to appoint a dynamic, highly motivated and experienced fundraising professional to shape and implement a new development strategy that will achieve ambitious fundraising targets and enable the RPO to continue in its mission.

The RPO’s Business Development Department generates revenue for the Orchestra from donations, sponsorships, and ticket sales. It also communicates the Orchestra’s key messages to audiences and supporters in ways that maximise the value and impact of the RPO brand and inspire journeys of discovery.
