Temple Music Foundation
Events and Marketing Manager
The Temple Music Foundation (TMF) promotes concerts and other musical events in the Temple,
just off the Strand in central London. It puts on about 16 events a year, a mixture of choral music,
solo song recitals, instrumental chamber music and other events, some of which are broadcast,
spread throughout the year (apart from August and September). The TMF works particularly
closely with the Temple Church Choir.
The Events and Marketing Manager is the first point of contact between members of the public and
the TMF and is the only member of the small TMF team who works from the Temple office in Inner
Temple on a daily basis. Working with and reporting to the Events and Finance Consultant and the

the website, event management, fundraising support, ticket sales, administration relating to board
meetings and general office duties. The Events and Marketing Manager will often be working in the
Temple office by themselves but communicating frequently during the day with the Events and
Finance Consultant and the Development Consultant, who often work outside the Temple.
In addition to its own concerts, the TMF manages the box office for a number of externallypromoted events within the Temple, for which there is modest additional remuneration.

days and on days when there are board or other occasional evening meetings. No overtime is paid.

Holiday: 25 days per year.

holder may contribute if they wish but they are not required to do so.
