Yes, and it is a substantial move. An auction house manager already covers 27% of what a fundraising manager is expected to do: 9 skills carry over, 8 of which the fundraising manager role treats as required.

16 required skills are missing, plus 19 optional ones. They fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by management skills. The single most important is advise on financial matters.

Its learning distance is 73.4 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
