Position filled for 2013.

March - Early July, 1 full-time post.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to expand their experience in development, fundraising, project management, marketing and sponsorship.

The role will involve working closely with the Partnership Executive and the Head of Commercial Development, mainly in mainly in supporting sponsorship contracts, ensuring the delivery of sponsorship benefits and liaising with sponsors/funders to ensure provision of all required materials.  You will be interacting with many of EIFF's biggest funders, sponsors and partners, and be supporting the activation of these relationships with the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Candidates should be highly organised, creative, diplomatic, and with an ability to work well under pressure and anticipate potential issues to provide a good customer service.  Although previous experience in an arts organisation is not essential, an understanding of sponsorship (why firms sponsor, what they are able to achieve and the benefits it brings to organisations such as EIFF) would be useful.
