Full-time, 41 hours per week (including one hour paid lunch break)

Application deadline: 12pm (midday) on 6 May 2025

About the role:

This is exciting opportunity for motivated, strategic development operations professional with experience of leading fundraising operations teams.

In this role, the Head of Strategy and Operations will create and lead a world-class development operations function, play a pivotal role in developing and planning the Museum's major capital campaign, and embed best practice in fundraising and information management across the Development directorate.

The postholder will manage the Development directorate's strategy development and delivery planning, and is responsible for campaign management, research, stakeholder data and insight, fundraising proposition development, reporting, gift management, business processed, and compliance. The role drives, facilitates and underpins activity across the Development department and makes a significant contribution to the Museum's fundraising and stakeholder engagement activity.

This is an exciting time for the British Museum. We are embarking on our Western Range project - one of the biggest museum redevelopment projects anywhere in the world. This physical transformation is in the service of an intellectual transformation. We are rethinking how we display our collection - the most holistic and ambitious redisplay in the Museum's history. We have appointed world-renowned architect Lina Ghotmeh to rejuvenate and redevelop our Western Range - accounting for over a third of our galleries. The Development directorate will enable this transformation by delivering a major capital campaign, in which the Head of Strategy and Operations will play a central role.

Key areas of responsibility:

  • Lead the development and delivery of the Museum's fundraising strategy, including the capital campaign, working closely with senior leadership to set targets, milestones, and deliverables.
  • Inspire and manage the team to implement cutting-edge tools, data systems, and practices to analyst donor behaviour, ensure operational efficiency, and drive revenue growth.
  • Develop and implement a prospect research strategy, aligning stakeholder data with CRM operations to optimize fundraising opportunities and engagement.
  • Ensure compliance with fundraising regulations and standards, manage risks related to stakeholder data, and make recommendations for system and structural improvements.
  • Oversee the Museum's CRM database, ensuring efficient data management and analysis of gift information to support donor stewardship.

About you:

  • Degree or equivalent experience and fundraising industry network memberships.
  • Experience of a senior role in a major fundraising campaign.
  • Experience of leading fundraising operations teams in the cultural sector, higher education, a charity, or not for profit organisation.
  • Experience of leading change.
  • Tax efficient giving, charity compliance and data protection.
  • Ability to speak with authority on regulatory and technical issues adjusting to the audience.
  • Track record of delivering projects on time and within budget.
  • Excellent people management skills, with experience of leading teams, developing staff, and motivating colleagues to achieve ambitious targets.
  • Strong prioritisation and resource allocation skills.
  • Diplomatic ability to achieve consensus with diverse stakeholders.
