Donor Relations & Stewardship Lead – Opera Australia

Opera Australia’s Development Department manages an integrated philanthropy, corporate development and engagement program to maximise individual giving and sponsorship in support of production and access activities.  The company now seeks a Donor Relations & Stewardship Lead to join this high performing team, who will be responsible for managing and providing a strategic framework for both donor stewardship and donor prospecting.  The Donor Relations & Stewardship Lead will also support the work of major giving by focusing on donor retention and growing the donor pool.

You are a resilient, adaptable and driven individual with experience in fundraising-related activity or account management and high level stakeholder engagement. This may have been gained in the cultural, broader not for profit or the corporate sector. Your high level relationship management and communication skills will be matched by a very high level of attention to detail and the ability to prioritise and manage a number of projects and activities at once. A passion and enthusiasm for Opera Australia, its work, aspirations and values is vital.
