Sadler’s Wells is a world-leading dance house, commissioning and producing more dance than any other theatre in the world. Our Associate Artists, resident and associate companies are among the most outstanding talents working in dance today and our artist development programmes give the next generation of dance-makers the means to develop further and create the outstanding new dance of the future. As well as attracting more people to see dance, we inspire them to take part, whether professionally or simply for enjoyment and wellbeing.  

As interim Development Director, you will play a crucial role in realising our vision at both a strategic and operational level. The role is directly responsible for the planning and delivery of annual fundraising targets as part of our five-year strategic plan and in leading the Development Department to achieve success across all income streams.
