England’s National Football Museum exists to house and harness the power of football, to share stories that influence, to showcase culture and involve and motivate people to creatively engage. It’s the place to experience football in all its glory, and the place to experience why football matters. We have ambitious plans to transform the National Football Museum and are looking for a proactive and dynamic Fundraising Manager to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to help shape our fundraising and development plan, enabling you to make your mark on one of the country’s best loved museums at an exciting time of transformation.
The role will be responsible for managing the development and implementation of the National Football Museum’s fundraising and development plan, driving initiatives to secure both grant (restricted) and unrestricted income.
