Benvenuti Arts is seeking a Consultant to join our team!
Reporting to the Deputy Director, this position is expected to spend 70% of their time engaging with clients or managing work on behalf of clients. This is a Full Time Employee position opening in the Department of Clients Service.
Specific responsibilities will include:
- Meeting directly with clients, providing guidance, advices, and strategy;
- Managing services for dedicated clients, coordinating with other team members;
- Research around fundraising prospects, strategies, and other administrative need the client might have;
- Setting institutional fundraising strategy and overseeing grant writing while doing some writing when needed;
- Creation of fundraising and administrative goals and plans;

- Attending training, Department meetings, and meetings about the Membership Program;
- Working closely to support other members of their department, as well as the CEO and other leadership team members;
- Other needs as they arise.
At Benvenuti Arts, it’s important that our consultants approach each client relationship individually, finding solutions for them that fit their unique needs and situation. In working with small and mighty arts organizations, we seek to find creative opportunities that make the most of their limited time and resources. Therefore, our Consultant must be inquisitive, creative, flexible, and show great initiative in how they interact with and advise our clients.
Additionally, as a learning organization, we provide training and support for our Consultants, and expect them to help train and support our contracted grants writers. Eventually, the Consultant will be paired with a dedicated grant writer to assist in their work, but must be prepared to grant write themselves, too.
While we are open to a variety of different backgrounds, an ideal candidate would have:
- 3 to 5 years experience working in an arts organization in some capacity;
- 1 to 3 years experience coordinating or managing fundraising programs;
- An ability to multitask and self-identify priorities;
- A natural inclination to “self start”;
- An ability to work independently, while still part of a team; and
- A clear commitment to the values of Benvenuti Arts and a passion for small arts organizations across the world.
This position is Full Time Employee status. Benvenuti Arts defines full time as 32 – 35 hours a week. We are a fully remote company, so Consultant must be prepared to manage their own schedule and coordinate with team members working in different time zones.
