HIRING

Senior Manager of Institutional Giving

DESCRIPTION:

Boston Baroque welcomes applications for the position of Senior Manager of Institutional Giving. As we enter our 53rd season and embark upon the search for Boston Baroque’s second Music Director, we are well poised to build upon an institutional giving program that reflects the growth that the organization has made in the last five years, and is positioned to make in the years to come.

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the Senior Manager of Institutional Giving is a self-starter with foundation and corporate fundraising experience, a polished professional comfortable with both the written and interpersonal aspects of developing an institutional giving program. The Senior Manager of Institutional Giving will be responsible for maintaining the current grant relationships enjoyed by Boston Baroque while doing the research and outreach necessary to expand this program to one that will raise $300,000 in FY2026 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).

This is a hybrid role; during the season (September – June) Boston Baroque staff meets in person one day a week, with additional in-person days added as needed during concert weeks. The remaining days are remote. Attendance is required at all Boston Baroque concerts: two performances over one weekend in October, December, January (New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day), March, and April. Attendance is also required at other events: performances by the X-tet, our resident chamber ensemble; Development cultivation, stewardship, and fundraising events; and our annual gala.
