You will need to be comfortable making decisions in the moment, holding the line on quality while adapting to changing circumstances, and sustaining momentum through both peak delivery periods and quieter phases of development. We're looking for someone who combines strong organisational and planning skills with an instinct for performance and audience. You might come from a theatre, festival or heritage background, but above all you will understand how to support creative practitioners to deliver consistently excellent work in a public-facing environment. If you have experience of managing complex live programmes, working with performers or creative teams, and balancing artistic ambition with operational reality, we would like to hear from you. Hours This position is a permanent contract, working full time, 36 hours per week, 5 days out of 7. Weekend, Bank Holiday and evening working will regularly be required, as will some travel. The role will be predominantly Leeds office based with an option for some hybrid working as well as at the other RA sites.
