The role
The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama is the National Conservatoire of Wales. We have a bright and confident future as a national anchor institution, and the convenor for the arts in Wales.
Following exceptional achievements in recent years that have seen the College’s profile grow significantly, and the largest gifts in its history attracted, the newly-formed Advancement team is now entering an exciting new chapter.
The Advancement team mission statement is to communicate with our community to make excellent things happen for the College and beyond. The team is responsible for RWCMD having one voice and one narrative when building positive relationships with our communities and unlocking their support.

With a number of new roles coming on stream simultaneously, this is a unique opportunity and special moment to join a fast-developing, positive, and driven team.
The Stewardship Manager will lead the development and delivery of a comprehensive stewardship and supporter relations programme that strengthens engagement and loyalty among supporters, ensuring all activity reflects the College’s strategic priorities and case for support.
The role will champion best practice in supporter recognition and communications, creating frameworks and initiatives that celebrate the impact of support and foster meaningful, long-term relationships between supporters and the College community.
