The National Centre for Music is now recruiting for a Head of Development to help bring the vision of NCM to life and build a diverse community of supporters needed to deliver success and resilience.
The Head of Development will work very closely with the Chief Executive & Creative Director, who leads our fundraising. Together you will build our fundraising systems from the ground up – setting the path for meaningful relationships with our supporters, and for excellent and efficient cultivation and stewardship – whether across Trusts & Foundations, Individual Giving or Corporate relationships. Taking on this role at this moment will see you become part of the founding story of a new major player in the Scottish music scene.
The Head of Development will require both an ability to tell a complex story in a clear and compelling way to a wide range of stakeholders, and strong financial planning skills. Careful consideration of return on investment will be necessary, particularly in the early stages.
The National Centre for Music is seeking a Creative Producer to help bring our vision to life, build the innovation, reputation and infrastructure needed to deliver success establishing NCM.
This is a hands-on production role at the heart of a bold new arts organisation working across Scotland’s music scene. You will lead end-to-end delivery across a varied programme, from performances with leading artists, to workshops with community groups, hackathons with tech start-ups, to wellbeing experiences in nature. This diverse programme across genres will stand as a vibrant celebration of Scotland’s globally renowned music making and create innovative ways for audiences and communities to discover and engage with it. Initially working in to deliver events and activities across Scotland, the role will evolve to focus on the development and execution of a complex multi-genre performance and participation programme, as we prepare to take up residence in the reimagined Royal High School on Calton Hill in Edinburgh.
Alongside day-to-day delivery, you will contribute to shaping what the organisation and its future venue become: building supplier and partner networks, informing technical and operational planning, and helping to deliver a programme identity that is genuinely multi-genre in ambition and execution.
Taking on this role at this moment will see you become part of the founding story of a new major player in the Scottish music scene.
