- Drive projects from start to finish – managing timelines, budgets, partnerships, and ensuring the highest artistic quality.
- Champion new voices – commissioning artists, building relationships, and creating opportunities for talent to shine.
- Share stories that matter – working with our marketing lead to amplify the voices and creativity of the people we work with.
The details:
- Salary: £24,000–£30,500 per year pro rata, depending on experience.
