Job Summary

Lead on trusts and statutory funding for the Roundhouse, a dynamic youth-focused charity and iconic music & arts venue.

Job Description

Senior Trusts and Statutory Manager - The Roundhouse - £46,350 - Full-time - Permanent - Hybrid, min. 3 days per week at Roundhouse office (nr Chalk Farm tube) - Apply by Wednesday 3rd September

The Roundhouse is a world-renowned music and arts venue in Camden and a registered charity supporting over 10,000 young people aged 11-30 each year. Through creative programmes, studio access, mentoring, and professional development, it empowers young people to build skills, grow their confidence, and pursue careers in the creative industries.

The Roundhouse's 13-person fundraising team has recently increased its ambitious annual target, largely driven by strong performance from the Trusts and Statutory team.

This year's £600k Trusts target has almost been met, supported by a strong pipeline, multi-year relationships, and a wide portfolio of fundable work across employability, wellbeing, and diversity. The postholder will also be responsible for Arts Council England reporting.

With programmes closely aligned to youth sector priorities and policy initiatives, this role offers the opportunity to build on solid foundations and contribute to the organisation's next phase of growth.

Please note that the Roundhouse are partnering with QuarterFive for this appointment.

  • Experience managing teams (formal or dotted-line) with a collaborative and supportive leadership style

  • A strategic thinker with energy, creativity, and autonomy, comfortable working in an environment where innovation and adaptability are essential
  • Strong commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion
