Head of Individual Giving

You don t have to look very far in the UK s opera world to find someone who started their career with BYO. Onstage, backstage, in the rehearsal room, the dressing room and in front of the orchestra for more than 35 years we ve been helping young people find their feet in the professional world. BYO is the UK s national training opera company, a place for young people who are in that awkward stage between education and proper working life where they can kick-start their careers. That s what the youth in our name refers to not age, but the fact that our participants are all at the beginning of their lives in opera. We re looking for an experienced fundraiser to manage and grow BYO s base of supporters. As head of individual giving you ll be responsible for finding, cultivating, and upgrading donors through campaigns, events, stewardship and personal engagement.
