Job description

CFF is the largest investment in arts and cultural infrastructure in over a decade and enables not-for-profit cultural organisations to address urgent capital works.

You will sit at the intersection of policy, delivery and finance, ensuring CFF meets its core objectives and delivers value for public money. You will act as the primary relationship manager with the funds delivery partner, Arts Council England (ACE).
