Job Description

A Senior Fundraising Manager / Fundraising Manager looking for a step up is needed to join Institute of International Visual Arts.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a globally respected contemporary arts organisation while stepping into a broader, more strategic leadership role.

Iniva is dedicated to championing artists and cultural producers whose work reflects the social and political realities of our time. Through exhibitions, research, publishing and public programmes, Iniva supports underrepresented voices and fosters critical dialogue across the visual arts. It is thoughtful, values led and outward looking and fundraising sits right at the heart of its ambition.

This role is positioned for someone ready to move up. Perhaps you are an experienced Fundraising Manager, Senior Fundraising Manager or Development Manager who already leads on trusts, foundations or public funding, and now wants greater ownership, visibility and strategic input. Here, you will shape and deliver Iniva's development strategy across trusts and foundations, public funding, individual giving and partnerships, working closely with the Director and Board.

You will take the lead on income generation, building compelling cases for support, deepening funder relationships and identifying new opportunities for growth. Alongside hands on bid writing and reporting, you will contribute to longer term planning, helping ensure the organisation's financial resilience and creative impact.

To qualify: You should be a Fundraising Manager, Senior Fundraising Manager, Development Manager or similar with a CV that demonstrates:

• A strong track record of securing income from trusts, foundations and or public funders
• Experience managing funder relationships and delivering successful reports
• The ability to shape persuasive cases for support aligned to mission and impact
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders, trustees and creative teams
• Strategic thinking alongside a willingness to stay hands on
• A genuine interest in contemporary art, cultural discourse and social justice

In return, you will join a collaborative, mission driven team with a supportive and flexible working culture. The salary is £45,000 to £50,000 depending on experience.

This is a full time role, 35 hours per week, with hybrid working and flexibility built in. Benefits include... 20 days annual leave plus bank holidays and additional leave between Christmas and New Year, rising to 25 days with service, pension contributions starting at 3 percent and increasing to 5 percent after six months, hybrid and flexible working, professional development opportunities, and access to Iniva events and programmes including a free pass to Tate Britain.

If you are ready to step into a broader leadership remit and play a central role in sustaining an organisation that shapes critical conversations in contemporary art, we would love to hear from you.
