Alumni & Individual Giving Manager

CLOSING DATE: 29 June 2026 09:00

 

NYCOS occupies a unique place in Scotland’s cultural landscape as a charity providing a national infrastructure for young people and music leaders to develop their singing. Founded in 1996, and directed by founding Artistic Director Christopher Bell, we are committed to supporting children and young people to realise their vocal and musical potential and provide opportunities for young people, teachers and choir directors to support and develop choral singing across Scotland.

We consist of four National Choirs, including the internationally renowned National Youth Choir of Scotland, a network of fourteen Regional Choirs across the country and a considerable Creative Learning programme that engages in a wide range of activity and training for children, young people and adults.

2026 marks NYCOS’s 30th anniversary, and we are looking for someone who can play a key role in celebrating this milestone by engaging our alumni and supporters, strengthening relationships, and communicating our achievements and impact to inspire individual giving throughout this special year.

NYCOS is looking to appoint a dynamic and energetic individual to the role of Alumni & Individual Manager. Working closely with the CEO and Trusts & Foundations Manager, this post will play a central role within NYCOS to develop and sustain the alumni programme and an individual giving strategy.

You will be an inventive and creative person, excited by the opportunity to build a supportive community of individuals. You may have experience in stewardship but you could be just as likely transferring your skills from another sector. This role would suit someone with an eye for opportunities and detail, and the desire to build something exciting from scratch.
