Development Assistant, Opera North

Working within the Development team, you will be responsible for the stewardship and growth of the Friends, Patrons and philanthropy programmes, ensuring that Opera North are bringing supporters closer to their work. If you’re a creative thinker who would enjoy the challenge of running active fundraising campaigns whilst opportunity-spotting new income generation potential, you’ll flourish in this role.

As they open their new home in central Leeds, following the £18m Music Works capital redevelopment, you will have the opportunity to play a key part in delivering supporter satisfaction and achieving strong donor retention rates. You’ll be joining a team that works collaboratively and strategically but always with a focus on the company’s objectives, as well as playing an important part in driving income to support Opera North’s work on stage and off.

As Development Assistant, you’ll primarily be responsible for the administrative processes around our membership and philanthropy activity. Working closely with those responsible for individual giving, as well as supporting other areas of the Development team’s work, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the key disciplines of revenue fundraising whilst providing vital support to enable the company to drive income which supports the work on stage and off.
