About this Role

The Development department plays a vital role in the success and growth of the Royal Academy of Arts as a dynamic and independent institution. Within the Development department, the Patrons team is responsible for the growth of our top-tier membership scheme as well as being integral to the stewardship and cultivation of both major donors and the next generation of philanthropists.

This ambitious and highly successful team plays a pivotal role in recruiting and maximising income from our Patrons as well as working collaboratively across the RA to support our wider philanthropic ambitions.

About You

We are seeking a remarkable Head of Patrons who can operate at the highest level to ensure the strategic and innovative growth of the RA’s celebrated Patrons scheme.

To be considered for this role, you will need to demonstrate a passionate belief in the work and mission of the RA. You will have experience of operating a successful membership scheme, or equivalent, and extensive knowledge of the international art world.  The successful candidate will be target-driven, collaborative, entrepreneurial and possess outstanding interpersonal skills.

The Company

The RA dates way back to 1768 when a group of artists and architects persuaded King George lll to help them to ‘establish a society for promoting the Art of Design'. The original academy, in Pall Mall, was less than 10 meters long. Since then, there have been many changes, though the RA’s core purpose of bringing art and design to a broad audience and championing art and artists still holds true.   

Today we are a contemporary art organisation hosting internationally acclaimed exhibitions and through investment in employee training and development, with courses such as Unconscious Bias, LGBTQ+ Awareness, Bystander, and Mental Health First Aid training, we are striving to foster a safe space for everyone through positive action. We also have Employee Network Groups, Ways In Groups, and an Employee Council so every employee has a voice and a way to feel heard by colleagues through the CEO.   

The RA is truly a unique place, both as an attraction to our visitors, but also as a workplace. Our people are at the heart of all we do, and we support a broad and inspiring mix of departments; from exhibitions, curators, art handlers, researchers, publishers, and digital to schools and education, visitor welcome, fundraisers, and corporate support.
