Corporate Partnerships Manager

Royal Conservatoire Scotland [RCS]

£36,199

Glasgow (Hybrid)

Full-Time and Permanent

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s vision is that graduates will enrich the performing arts with new work and will create the future of performance for generations to come.

RCS believe that a conservatoire should provide much more than an intensive, demanding education: the conservatoire experience is one of total immersion where students can discover and develop their optimum potential.  Students flourish thanks to the extraordinary blend of intensive tuition, a rigorous performance schedule, working with professional counterparts, and the space to create with others across the disciplines.

Are you ready to make a real impact and be part of a passionate fundraising team and work collaboratively across the Conservatoire? RCS are now looking for a vibrant Corporate Partnerships Manager to join their team in Glasgow. This is your opportunity to contribute to the exciting new RCS People, Place and Promise Strategy 2030 – https://royal-cons-scotland-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2024/02/RCS-STRATEGY-2030-1.pdf

As the new Corporate Partnerships Manager, you’ll join an exciting, passionate, and ambitious fundraising team dedicated to delivering key aspects of the 2030 RCS strategy and objectives of RCS including addressing inequalities and enhancing inclusion across every aspect of the Conservatoire activities. Your role will involve liaising with new businesses and stakeholders of all levels, attending diverse events, and securing new partnerships while representing RCS as an ambassador.

We’re looking for someone with an engaging, charismatic, and positive personality who can adapt to various audiences and focus on building long lasting relationships. Creativity and the ability to bring new ideas to achieve our objectives and targets are essential.

An understanding of the corporate world in Scotland and effective communication skills are critical. You’ll need to craft compelling applications and partnership proposals, promote RCS’s values and mission, and raise awareness of our work and programmes. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, commitment, and proficiency in MS Office are key requirements for this role as is knowledge of a CRM system like Spektrix.

We are looking for an individual who is enthusiastic about developing ideas and forging strong relationships. Possessing a positive “can do” attitude with the ability to adapt and work independently but also to be a team player is crucial. Knowledge of, or exposure to, corporate fundraising is desirable, while exceptional communication skills with the ability to engage with diverse audiences is essential.

If you are a driven and ambitious individual with a background in a client facing role and has business development experience, then this exciting opportunity could be your next career move.
