The Director of Development is a member of the Senior Management Team and is responsible for growing philanthropic and supporter income for the Lyric’s work in line with the Lyric’s Strategic Vision. The main purpose of this position is to engage, and raise income from, individuals, trusts and foundations, and corporates.
