Salary: c. £42,000
Our client is the UK's national fundraising charity for art. The charity believe that art can make you see, think, and feel differently, and through their work they help make art more accessible to as many visitors as possible, wherever they are. The organisation gives grants to help museums and galleries acquire works of art for their collections, share them with wide audiences, and support the training and professional development of curators. They are supported by their growing membership of 130,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many trusts, foundations and individuals.
As Senior Programme Manager you'll take a senior role in the strategic planning and operational delivery of their annual grant-making programme, ensuring it meets their organisational objectives. Within this, you'll lead on specific programme delivery areas, manage the distribution of grants casework and the programme pipeline, oversee and support line-reports and caseworkers in the delivery of their functions and roles, and support your own grant portfolio and manage key grantee relationships. As a part of the role, you'll prepare and manage the distribution of annual budgets, and contribute to the strategic development of the organisation by playing a key role in departmental and long-term organisational business planning. You'll work with the Director and Deputy Director of Programme and Policy to make improvements to grant making programmes, and support the development and delivery of new initiatives, partnerships, research, and evaluation, ensuring maximum strategic impact across the programmes portfolio. You'll build, manage and strengthen key their relationships, representing the organisation at a senior level internally and externally.
