Development Officer – Elgin Museum

Applications are invited from suitably qualified, enthusiastic and experienced individuals to take forward an exciting new role at Elgin Museum funded by Museums Galleries Scotland.

You should either be educated to degree level or have equivalent qualification and/or experience. You should have proven experience in fundraising and grant management, and with the passion and creativity to develop and expand the Museum’s potential.
