Who are we?

Art Fund is the UK’s national fundraising charity for art. We believe that art can make you see, think and feel differently, and through our work we help make art more accessible to as many visitors as possible, wherever they are. We give grants to help museums and galleries acquire works of art for their collections, share them with wide audiences, and support the training and professional development of curators. We are supported by our growing membership of 135,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many trusts, foundations and individuals.

The role

Art Fund is looking for an experienced Supporter Experience & Operations Lead to play an integral role within the membership team.

Joining a friendly and passionate environment, this post is a great opportunity for someone with a background in managing consumer-facing membership and/or donor operations to innovate, improve, and deliver an outstanding membership and supporter experience.

This is also an exciting time to join our fantastic team as we move into the delivery phase of a project to replace and upgrade our current CRM system to Salesforce.

Managing the Supporter Services Coordinator, you’ll ensure the delivery of outstanding customer service to our members, donors, and prospects – ultimately supporting Art Fund’s vision to open the doors to great art and culture for everyone.

You’ll also have substantial supplier management experience (ideally within a customer-facing service environment) with the ability to proactively manage supplier contracts and relationships to maintain the best-possible service and value. Critically, you will be proficient in managing and automating complex processes utilising a variety of systems including CRM and other SaaS systems with support from an in-house tech team.

As a senior team member, the post-holder will possess excellent stakeholder management skills and a track-record of working collaboratively to achieve transformative change.
