The Development Manager will be a vital new addition to our team, working closely with the Head of Development to ensure robust revenue fundraising to support Sinfonia Smith Square’s Fellowship orchestra and our wider Artistic and Learning & Participation programmes.
Expect a role that is varied and hands-on, working across individual giving, fundraising campaigns, event management and supporting all areas of revenue fundraising.

About Sinfonia Smith Square:
Sinfonia Smith Square was formed by the combination of two much-loved organisations: Southbank Sinfonia and St John's Smith Square. At its heart is an ambitious annual Fellowship programme to develop the musical careers of some of the brightest emerging talent. With over 650 Sinfonia alumni, our musicians go on to become leaders in the classical music world.
Located in the heart of Westminster, Smith Square Hall is an iconic building and famous for its world-class acoustic. Having first opened its doors in 1728, it has survived lightning strikes, suffragette attacks and devastating Blitz bombs. Since its reopening in 1969, the world's great classical musicians have performed at the Hall and the current restoration is returning the Hall to a world class performance space, with an innovative, collaborative education and community programme, within the framework of a sustainable cultural model, fit for the future.
