Fundraising & Development Manager

We’re building a new Museum for Waitaha Canterbury – a world-class facility for the taonga we care for and a place to tell the stories of our region and the people who live here. We’re looking for an extraordinary fundraiser who can lead and support income-generating initiatives and events to enable the Museum redevelopment project. You’ll have proven success in a similar role raising funds for a significant capital project. Your many skills will include the ability to form enduring relationships, to bring stories alive, to write a compelling grant application and to inspire donations from a wide range of Museum stakeholders. Our ideal candidate will have an eye for identifying new fundraising opportunities and the ability to cultivate and maintain a network of dedicated donors. If this sounds like you, apply today and join our journey of change.
