Job Details

We inspire futures by engaging diverse audiences through our museums, exhibitions, and educational programmes. Fundraising is vital to helping us deliver our ambitious plans and continue to make science accessible for all.

 To support this work, we are now looking for a Fundraising Coordinator to join our experienced Fundraising and Partnerships team on a full-time permanent basis. This role is based at the Science Museum in London, with flexible hybrid working options.

As Fundraising Coordinator, you'll play a central role in supporting our fundraising activity across a wide range of income streams, including trusts and foundations, individuals, and corporate supporters. You'll help ensure the smooth running of the Fundraising and Partnerships team by supporting the Director with diary management, managing key processes, facilitating cross-team meetings, and maintaining accurate and up-to-date records.

You will be resourcefully supporting the department to reach income targets and closely manage strong funding partnerships. You will have the opportunity to represent the Team by welcoming VIP guests and join pivotal meetings that steer the direction of SMG.

This role gives you the opportunity to get involved and be creative in a variety of fascinating projects in fast-moving departments, all of which are at the forefront of SMG's ambitious plans, as well as supporting the Science Museum Foundation.

Open for All is one of the Science Museum Group's five core values and sets out our important aspiration to be a place for everyone. We are working hard to understand our organisation better and to develop a culture that recognises and values different backgrounds, mindsets, skills, experience, knowledge, and technical expertise. By having greater diversity, we believe that we will be a stronger and better organisation, capable of continuing to Inspire Futures.

You'll be someone who enjoys being organised and staying on top of the details. You'll have experience of working in a busy office or administrative environment, where you've had to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines. You bring a resourceful, flexible approach to your work and enjoy contributing to efficient team operations.

Effective communication skills and the ability to build good working relationships with a variety of people will be essential. You don't need to have fundraising experience already if you're interested in the sector and have transferable skills in organisation, teamwork and administration, we'd love to hear from you.

 Don't feel you meet all the criteria?

We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn't match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities we have.
