Vice President of Development and Campaign Planning
Boston Symphony Orchestra - Boston, MA
The Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) seeks a Vice President of Development and Campaign Planning. The Vice President of Development and Campaign Planning, a newly created position, will be responsible for building a best-in-class prospect development, gift administration, IT, systems and records management, and data analytics function for all fundraising, as well as leading strategic data, gift services, and oversight of a growing annual fund. In partnership with the Chief Development Officer, the Vice President will provide strategic leadership and planning, including financial, programmatic, and capital goals and objectives, for a transformative campaign that will be the largest in the institution’s history.
The BSO engages millions of people each year in the remarkable diversity and wonder of orchestral music and maintains homes at its iconic venues, Boston’s Symphony Hall and Tanglewood in Western Massachusetts. From the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular on the Charles River Esplanade to community concerts throughout Greater Boston, an annual BSO Youth and Family series at Symphony Hall, humanities programs at the Tanglewood Learning Institute, and tour performances in concert halls around the world, the BSO remains committed to innovation, creativity, cultural relevance, education, civic engagement, and making orchestral music accessible to audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of familiarity.
"The new Vice President will join an organization that has an extraordinarily loyal, committed, and generous donor base. At the same time, given the ambitions of this next chapter, there is an imperative to build and re-orient the fundraising programs across the BSO to engage a new, broader generation of prospects and donors. We welcome candidates who are excited about the challenges, as well as the opportunity to create a foothold for the BSO’s next century, and to build an industry-leading, contemporary culture of philanthropy across the BSO." — Lauren Budding, Chief Development Officer
