Job Summary

The Development Manager will play a central role in connecting funders to our work across our unique programme of contemporary art exhibitions, Grade-1 listed heritage experiences, high-quality schools' engagement workshops and community activities at our home in Ealing.

Job Description

Overview and Context

Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery is West London's home for art and architecture. The beautifully-restored historic Manor embodies the radical contemporary vision of Sir John Soane, one of Britain's leading Georgian architects, who was also passionate about encouraging the next generation of creativity and opportunity. With a purpose-built art gallery and two dedicated learning and community spaces, set in gorgeous parkland and gardens, Pitzhanger brings heritage to life through high quality, engaging cultural experiences for all - inviting imagination, enabling excellence and fostering community.

Following the launch of a refreshed vision and mission in autumn 2026, Pitzhanger is growing the Development team to help expand and deepen our relationships with funders across the philanthropic landscape, and bring our vision of Pitzhanger as a place for imagination, learning and community for every generation to life.
